User talk:Video Librarian

Please be more cautious
I am a specialist editor (motorcycles and motorcycle racing) and noticed your changes to Aprilia, which were trivial and unnecessary.

I looked at some of your other edits at Tom Thurlow where you needlessly changed British English to American (see WP:RETAIN, WP:ENGVAR), also changing a business name unrealisticly by de-hyphenating.

I've fixed these, but generally it may be better to leave well alone - please don't assume spelling errors. I hope you find these links helpful, and if you recognise (not recognize ) that you've done similar elsewhere, please fix them yourself. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:05, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Video Librarian


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Video Librarian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because we are simply trying to create a page for our business. This is not for promotional purposes, but simply to establish our 30-year-old brand as noteworthy and relevant. We feel that we qualify to have our company page just as any other online publication, so that when typed into a search engine, we are able to be found quickly and efficiently.

 * That's not what Wikipedia is for. Please read WP:NOT. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:39, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * On Wikipedia, you cannot self-asset your own business as notable enough for inclusion; notability here is defined as having significant coverage from mutiple reliable and independent sources. Merely trying to use Wikipedia to publicize the existence of your business is promotion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:06, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Being in England, I failed to perceive the relevance of the username (and hence the racking-up of trivial edit/scoring). Lesson learned.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 18:38, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * You are not at fault here necessarily. The username is generic enough that it wouldn't have been apparent that it's the name of a company until the user created their promotional userpage. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:42, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Respecting national varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit to the page Wally May, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm confused by this warning. How could the user have made the edit if they're blocked? ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:02, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * The edit was made prior to their block. It was meant for their benefit if they request to be unblocked. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Alright. I usually don't give any more warnings to people when I Revert their edits if they're already blocked. But I do see your reasoning. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:17, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
 * With an abundance of agf, I'd already explained this above - without the templating - requesting self-correction; on a wider aspect, and to use a polite Englishism, I am becoming cheesed-off with these new editor tasks (example).--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
