User talk:Whiteman

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here, and decide to stay.

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert your name and timestamp, use (~&#126;) (four tildes), or, to insert just your name, type (~&#126;~) (three tildes).
 * Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the sandbox.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
 * Follow the Simplified Ruleset
 * Eventually, you may want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Remember Neutral point of view

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Good luck, have fun, and be bold! SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good, run it by User:Appleseed - he is the Polish template specialist :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 16:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Słodowiec (Warsaw Metro)
I put back in the date for opening from Polish Wikipedia, but if your information was more reliable please put it back in, ideally with a citation. Balcer 18:43, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * You were right! Thanks for the citation. I will correct the dates on Polish Wikipedia.Balcer 11:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Category expansions on FIS Nordic World Ski Championships
FYI. I just wanted to let you know that I expanded the three FIS Nordic World Ski Championships articles for events held in Poland to include the full name of the championships (1929, 1939, and 1962). You can click on the sports events in Poland category if you wish to have a look. Good job on the edits also. Chris 20:17, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Template:Polish elections
Hi EPWA. In reference to your edit to the above template earlier, the convention on the elections templates is that italics are used to denote future elections. Thanks, Number   5  7  08:09, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Poland
We are now dividing our members into active, semi-active (have not edited a Poland-related article in more then three months or have 10 or less edits per month on average) and inactive (have not edited at all for three months or more). You occasionally edit Poland-related articles but have few edits in the past months; we are moving you to semi-active members category. Please consider participating in our project activities again in the future, we would love to work more closely with you again! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 18:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Starting New Month for 2009 Deaths
If you look at the discussion page for 2009 deaths, you will see a lengthy discussion as to when the "old" month is cut out and copied onto its own page, leaving the new month on the "recent deaths" page. The group has come to a consensus that this should happen after the 7th day of the new month. For two months now you have made this edit early. I am assuming its because you have not read the discussion page.AlexDelPiero (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Your CSD edits
I'd appreciate it if you mark pages as patrolled once you review them (or mark them for deletion) as it saves other patrollers a significant amount of time. Thanks, A  v  N  15:58, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Leszek Kołakowski
Hi. How do you know it was in Warsaw? I cannot find any sources for this; and naturally, it would be in Oxford, where he lived... I do not know though, and I would appreciate any info. Cheers. ziel &amp; 16:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I asked the same question on wiki.pl, it was however fixed before I got any answer. Thanks, ziel &amp; 21:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/List of First Ladies of the United States by longevity. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Dakar rally 2007
Hello Whiteman. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Dakar rally 2007, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''R3 only applies to recent redirects. Use WP:RFD instead.''' Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 23:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Ski jumping overall section
I know you mean well, but we don't tag overall leadership in advance (in the future). For example: yes, Dimitrov is tehnically grand prix winner, but you can't predict the future, 'cause you never know if next event(s) might be replaced, rescheduled or canceled, like ladies event was. If someone has 500 points of advantage you would normally extend his leadership for 5 events in the future, but not here. And it just looks silly. In the future just stick to the last competition, thanks. Sportomanokin (talk) 14:29, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

2021 World Indoor Championship
Hi Whiteman, thanks for the message, it looks as though the bowls authorities need to speak to each other regarding results as the 10-5 score is still showing on Potters site - https://www.pottersholidays.com/world-bowls/world-bowls-championships-matches/ However, happy to go with your edit, many thanks Pipesmoking Legend (talk) 15:53, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

2021–22 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2021–22 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
