User talk:Davidgoodheart/Archive 1
A belated welcome!Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Davidgoodheart. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! —This lousy T-shirt (talk) 23:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC) December 2014 You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Lists of people who disappeared. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 01:18, 28 December 2014 (UTC) Please do not add or change content, as you did to List of people who disappeared, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. The "Little book of true ghost stories" doesn't qualify as a reliable source and this article is not about ghost stories.

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2015 (UTC) Problems with upload of File:Mypetmonsterlogo.jpgThanks for uploading File:Mypetmonsterlogo.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator. To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. For more information on using images, see the following pages: Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 06:06, 16 April 2016 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Tiffany Sessions
A tag has been placed on Tiffany Sessions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable. 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Dmol (talk) 06:26, 30 June 2016 (UTC) Nomination of Tiffany Sessions for deletionA discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tiffany Sessions is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ‑ Iridescent 09:00, 30 June 2016 (UTC) Tiffany Sessions ReplyHi Davidgoodheart, Thank you for adding additional citations to support the article! Nicknames don't typically provide too much encyclopedic value unless they were referred to in the media regularly by that nickname during coverage. I will let you be the judge of if it shall remain. In terms of deletion, if the article is deleted this is considered final in the realm of Wikipedia for this type of an article. Last I checked the discussion was swayed in favor of keeping the article. Let me know if you have any further questions! Dane2007 (talk) 03:02, 2 July 2016 (UTC) Just FYI, I did some major work on restructuring, citing and adding images to Tiffany Sessions today after a large portion of it was removed due to a lack of inline citations. I removed one line and added a citation needed tag to another if you could check that out. -- Dane2007 talk 21:50, 1 September 2016 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Evelyn Hartley

As the link is currently prohibited on the wiki, I have removed it from the article. This may result in new citations being needed and/or a request that the url be unblocked from the wiki.

After that I will add it to an article. Thanks
Yes, that article was for you to add onto since I don't yet know how to do that quite yet. After that I will re-add to the article that I copied it from. Thanks
Thanks, but the might thor match defeated El Cubano match should be at the top of the box, not the bottom. Thanks for your help!! I will let you know about my next article real soon.
Made an article from your specialtyChristopher Kerze (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) Thought you might like to take a look - feel free to improve of course. I was inspired by your abilities to create these articles. -- Dane2007 talk 23:57, 28 November 2016 (UTC) Disappearance of Joan Risch changesDavid, I could say something about the irony of you saying the article wasn't properly formatted when your own signature on my talk page wasn't properly formatted. But anyway ... Please do not reduce the intro section of the article to that one sentence again. In this regard I commend to your attention MOS:LEDE: "The lead serves as an introduction to the article and a summary of its most important contents." We have the {{Lead too short}} template for a reason ... your change would have led to someone else placing it on the article. The two-graf intro provides a reasonable summary of what the article itself goes into in greater length. You don't seem to realize this (did you notice how the two paragraphs don't flow at all well into the beginning of the investigation section where you insist on shoehorning them?) You also seem, as some less experienced editors are, convinced that the article has to begin with boldfaced words echoing the title. If you go down to the appropriate sections of MOS:LEDE, you'll see that that is not a requirement, that lead sentences should not be worded that way no matter how contorted the language gets (and for exactly that reason). The article is about Ms. Risch's disappearance, not her life (even though it does include her birth date). Therefore the lead grafs are descriptive of the event. They do not need to be substantially rewritten, at least not to biography format. Look, I have written, over the last few years, a lot of the "Disappearance of ..." articles. No one else has ever suggested they might be "not formatted right to begin with", and that includes a lot of people who've read over them when I've nominated them for DYK and such. Your edits give me the impression you're not really familiar with the MOS pages I've linked to. If you really think you're in the right, don't revert my last edit reverting yours. Explain to me what policies you're doing this under, and why you think they justify your edits. Daniel Case (talk) 02:24, 2 December 2016 (UTC) Daniel, you may be right, as I am not as experience as you, so if I was wrong I do apologize. It just every missing persons case that I have seen starts of with their name and birth date, so I thought I was doing the right thing. About the sources in the 1960s section, I have seen a lot of people use the Doe network and the Charley project, so I would say that they are reliable sources. Thank you for calling me well meaning, and I still do not know how to add the right signature.
Hi, Davidgoodheart! I've re-located the Afterburner article to your userspace, linked just above, so you can work on it at your leisure. I left the tag at the top of the article that describes some of the problems, so you'll have an idea of what to focus on. Basically, the article needs a couple of major improvements. 1) Locating and adding some reliable outside sources to verify that the subject is justified in having its own article. 2) Re-writing so that the tone is more encyclopedic, and less "in-universe." You might refer to this page to help.

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 India, use Indian English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, 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.
