Use of citation needed

You really shouldn't use a citation needed tag on something you're adding (like in this edit); see WP:BURDEN. Eman235/talk 15:59, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah thank you very much, I wasn't aware of that. And I've removed the citation needed templates I've added to my own content. I'll either find a good source or remove the content soon. Rollingcontributor (talk) 16:28, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

where does this speedy deletion for the Meyer article come from?

Hi there,

I just simply translated this article from the frwiki article for Meyer.

Where does the vandalism come from, and where does the misinformation come from. It was fine for the frwiki, why isn't it fine for the enwiki.

Endo999 (talk) 18:39, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the undeletion. Gabrielle Meyer has won 5 French athletic championships and is an Olympian. From an athletic viewpoint that is noteable enough for a wiki article, as her frwiki article attests. I do understand it is a short article however, as you said. Endo999 (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. Most Wikipedia disputes can be fixed up with a message or two between the participants. Thanks Again.

Endo999 (talk) 21:35, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Oliver Stummvoll

I noticed you added a "needs verification" tag saying the article needs more sources. Could you tell me which content needs citation? Thanks in advance. Linguist111 (talk) 14:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

G5 Speedy

Hi R.C. if I may abbreviate. Just so you know, the G5 speedy (banned user) is only used for page creations made in violation of a block or ban. It is not supposed to be used to delete pages by currently-blocked/banned users if they were not blocked at the time that page was created, as was the case with Archeo-futurism. Thanks for your patrol work! Crow^Caw 18:43, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks for letting me know, Crow by the way. And yeah, sure you cal call me R.C., seems like an amazing abbreviation! Do you have any other names? P.S. Also, thank you for the compliment! R.C. (talk) 19:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Gaur (artistic group) speedy deletion

Hi Rollingcontributor, the tag comes as a real surprise, it is pretty baffling, has never happened to me so far. The thing is, if your are familiar with the subject, it is a critical and relevant group both in the Basque and Spanish avant-guard scene of the period. Gaur is the most relevant group in the Basque Art School in 1965-1967, one that provided the theoretical foundations and cohesion to its members, and heralding the rise of the Basque cultural movements, as well as providing the background to its political and social development during the period. So I urge you to remove the tag. Thanks Iñaki LL (talk) 20:12, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Iñaki_LL, it is true that I'm not familiar with the subject. However, as I was patrolling newly created pages, I stumbled upon this article, which seemed to assert no claim of significance, or a clear reason to be on Wikipedia. This caused me to tag it for speedy deletion. Also, I have found no references in the article. I removed the tag now, but please make sure you add some references and edit the article to ensure it doesn't get tagged by someone else again. Thank you bringing it to my notice. Happy editing! Rollingcontributor (talk) 20:29, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. The thing is the article is still on the making. I will add references when I have time. Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 20:39, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Re this speedy deletion request, have you read WP:CSD#G1?

This applies to pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history. It does not cover poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, implausible theories, vandalism or hoaxes, fictional material, coherent non-English material, or poorly translated material. Nor does it apply to user sandboxes or other pages in the user namespace. In short, if you can understand it, G1 does not apply.

(final emphasis mine)

This article is (and was) nowhere even near a CSD deletion. Please be more careful in using these in the future. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:35, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeah I assumed G1 to be suitable to articles that were messed up (poor writing), and marked it as such. However, I've now totally understood it's usage. Thank you, Andy Dingley ——Rollingcontributor (talk) 10:48, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

This page was not "messed up", nor was it "poor writing". Not that either of these are reasons for CSD. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:03, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Fear pattern

Usage guidelines for Template:Disputed say that you should "First add a new section named "Disputed" to the article's talk page, describing the problems with the disputed statements." - without this, other editors won't be sure (as I'm not) what exactly is being disputed. --McGeddon (talk) 15:57, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you McGeddon, I have now added the section as told by you. Could you review it and tell me if that's acceptable? Rollingcontributor (talk) 16:03, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

His name is well noted in india as an actor and hypnoanesthetist.he is natable person as an actor,physician,scientist..thanking you sir

Hi Zaqwsxs, okay I will remove the tag now. But please make sure you will develop the article and indicate significance, and cite references as needed . If the article still can't indicate the importance of the subject, it may be nominated for deletion. Thank you. Rollingcontributor (talk) 19:31, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanking you sir,definitely i will improve the article *Drsrihari(actor)* . i will add secondary sources .thanq very much you sir...Zaqwsxs

Hi Rollingcontributor, just a heads-up: I'm glad that you are assuming good faith here, and there's no reason why you should assume that this was anything other than a good-faith request, but this article has been deleted in AfD and reposted many times under many titles by many sockpuppets. The person is not notable and hopefully the creator will stop wasting their own time and yours. This has been an ongoing saga for many months now, and at least ten different admins have deleted the various iterations of the article... See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nsmutte and the original AfD. Don't hesitate to get back to me if you have any questions. Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 20:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi bonadea, thank you for letting me know that. That was indeed helpful. I will post a message on the creator's talk page asserting that they should NOT be doing what they're doing. Hopefully, this will be my final communication with the creator. Rollingcontributor (talk) 06:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

RfC: Template to notify page creators they shouldn't remove deletion tags

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

Is there a template which can notify users that they should NOT remove deletion tags placed by other users until a consensus is reached? I encounter a lot of new users who just remove speedy deletion tags placed by others (including me) from pages they have created. It takes a lot of time to make them understand that they shouldn't do that. Is a template present for the issue? If not, would it be a good idea to create one? That would surely make the whole process much easier. Thank you. Rollingcontributor (talk) 20:09, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, many new editors do this in all good faith because they don't know that they are not supposed to. There's a lot of useful user talk page templates here ; the "don't remove speedy deletion tags" ones are {{subst:uw-speedy1}} (and speedy2, speedy3 and speedy4 for increased levels of warning.) I hope this was what you were after :-) Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 20:21, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you bonadea for your prompt response. That was indeed exactly what I was looking for. This has been very educational! :) -- Rollingcontributor (talk) 20:25, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Why was my article marked as vandalism?

Hello, I just saw that you marked my article as vandalism. I'm sorry but could you explain why? I'm new to wikipedia and the article you tagged was the first one I translated from Korean to English. I published it and plan to add more sources to it once I figure out how to do everything correctly. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeanutsLife (talk • contribs) 10:23, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi PeanutsLife, and welcome to Wikipedia! The article Jisu Park seemed like a hoax to me, as it had no references, and the text, in some places, was misleading as well. I checked the Korean article now, and removed the speedy deletion tag. Please edit it to add references as needed. If you have any doubts, please feel free to ask me. I will also leave a welcome message on your talk page with links to check out. Thank you, and happy editing! Rollingcontributor (talk) 10:31, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Birol Guven page

Reliable sources added. Bırol Guven google book resources added. Is there a warning will be lifted ? Soyubozuklar (talk) 21:38, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Soyubozuklar: I've removed it, but it needs a reference for the publication of each of the books listed, and if possible to references in reviews. Turkish refs are perfectly OK if that's what's available. DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Advice

I think it might help if I gave you some general advice about speedy deletion. The purpose of that process is to remove obviously unacceptable material: blatant advertisements, articles about people or companies which show no significance whatever (that's significance, which is much less demanding than actual notability), pure nonsense, ages so sparse that we cannot tell what they are talking about, obvious copyright violations, contributions by people who have been already blocked from contributing, and the like. Anything that might possibly be fixable but would still be unlikely to meet our requirements should be listed at Prod or AfD. Anything which might need discussion should go to AfD.

Some categories of things are considered always notable, even with a minimal article: geographic places, universities and high schools, archeological monuments, and a variety of other subjects, ; these should not be nominated at all, but marked for improvement. Such articles must eventually be sourced to stay in WP, but there is no deadline. If they are unsourced, you should try to source them or mark them unsourced. If you try and fail after a reasonable search, then consider nominating for deletion at prod or afd--if you do that, explain where you have looked.

Articles on living people , however, must be sourced promptly--that's what BLP PROD is for, but you should still make a reasonable effort to find a source if you think it at all likely.

The continued existence of Wikipedia requires the continued attraction of new editors. Most people whose first articles are deleted never return. Many people whose first articles are even improperly marked for deletion never look further, and never return. It is therefore necessary to be careful.

You should read in detail our policy pages WP:Speedy deletion and WP:Deletion policy, and the main page and subpages of the guideline WP:Notability before doing further checking of new articles. I have been doing this work for many years now, and I still re-read them occasionally to make sure I'm following the standards. DGG ( talk ) 22:28, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

I'm also quite experienced so please feel welcome to ask both of us for help. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 01:10, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice, DGG and SwisterTwister. Rollingcontributor (talk) 09:25, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Razavi Hospital

Dear Rollingcontributor, thank you for reviewing the page I have recently created. I live in Australia, at the time you put the deletion message on Razavi Hospital page I was sleeping. I was not able to make changes to the page or read your message while sleeping. I can see that the page has been deleted now. So quick!?. I could make changes to make it suitable to stay in the Encyclopaedia. Would you mind return the page and I will make corrections? I am not new in Wiki, I am more active in wikifa. However, I work in en as well. I am aware of wiki rules and regulations and what it is and what it isn't. I wasn't expecting quick removal of a page like this. My goal was not contribution or advertisement it only was an English version for the Farsi page. Anyway to make changes to that I need time to make it right.Thanks.Gharouni^Talk 23:52, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Dear Rollingcontributor:

It seems you are quick to tag articles but not enough quick to answer questions. As I read your talk you are not enough experienced to use this features and most admins giving you advice or asking you to stop misusing this features. I was not lucky enough to be here in time (as mentioned I was sleeping) to stop deleting the page I created. I need an explanation otherwise I report your behaviour again. Please return my page ASAP and I will make it right. thanks.Gharouni^Talk 02:47, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

@DGG: Hey, DGG, it seems like Gharouni is requesting a copy of the page Razavi Hospital, and he did create a user page User:Gharouni/Razavi Hospital where it looks like some work has been started. Obviously, Rollingcontributor doesn't have access to the deleted article and is taking a wikibreak, so since you're the deleting administrator I'd assume you have the ability to do that. It sounds like he has honest intentions to build the article into something that fits Wikipedia. Thanks for considering. Gharouni - hopefully DDG can get this article for you. Hope that helps! Appable (talk) 03:02, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Appable, I am still waiting, I do not understand what is the benefit of using some sensitive features by inexperienced users, I do not claim I am an experienced user but I have enough experience to understand how to use available tools and that not to use them without knowing all policies about how and when to use them. I use this opportunity to thank DGG for undrestanding the situation, unfortunately I was not given enough time to respond after tagging.Gharouni^Talk 06:59, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Gharouni, I do take a little time off away from the computer to eat dinner & the like. I have restored it & placed an "underconstruction" tag on it that should keep it there for a day or two. . Frankly, I did think the article was promotional & additionally did not show importance, & I deleted it on that basis; we do not trust inexperienced users to delete articles with, just to list them for review. I am however restoring it to avoid any doubt because of the manner of the deletion nominations. I would suggest that if you do not find really good references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements that you have it moved to Draft space. You can't assert it's "known around the world"and "class-leading" without such third party references. Class-leading on an international scale is a really exceptional claim, and needs exceptionally good sources. In practice, it has been uncommon for articles on hospitals to pass AfD. This is all the more so when, like this one, it's a developing new institution, founded in 2005. I'm not saying this as necessarily my opinion of what ought to be, but i=I must advise you on the basis of what is actually likely to happen , based on my experience. And please remove the material you copied from its website--this is never acceptable. DGG ( talk ) 05:32, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

DGG, Thank you very much I will keep in my mind your recommendations to make this article acceptable for wiki.Gharouni^Talk 09:46, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Misuse of CSD

This was very far from a "test page" meeting the criteria for speedy deletion. This is far from unusual amongst your CSD nominations.

Please drop these CSDs. You do not have the experience or familiarity here to make good judgements. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:01, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Declined speedy deletions - multiple articles

Hi, I wanted to let you know (and sorry for not letting you know sooner, I was a bit busy) that I've declined a few articles you tagged for speedy deletion under WP:G2. Pediatric neurosurgery is absolutely a valid article and not a test. While it's unreferenced, a quick Google search reveals quite a bit of information - I think that article could be expanded into a reasonably good article. Dcheira El Jihadia was not a test page in any form, though it is a stub article and should be expanded. It also may fit better as a side note in Morocco but I'll wait for the author since there may be print sources, etc. Finally, I declined the speedy deletion placed on Indian Information Service since it seemed like the author was attempting to create a "manual" redirect by duplicating the information, so I just replaced the article content with a redirect to the Indian Administrative Service page.

As a general note, G2 does not apply to good-faith attempts to make an article ever. Test page really just means when an author is clearly trying to see how to make a page and not attempting any encyclopedic content. Speedy deletion, as a general process, should really be used in specific cases when there's no real chance of it passing WP:AFD - and shouldn't be used whenever there's a possibility of disagreement. As a suggestion, I think it'd be a good idea if you stepped away from the deletion process for a while and focused on writing/editing, or alternatively watch processes like AFD as an observer to see the different processes with experienced editors. Thanks! Appable (talk) 01:58, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Rokko Yahata shrine

Hi I've got a couple of questions about the message you sent me. First I was wondering how one paragraph about a shrine hundreds of years old can be considered promotional. It's a local shrine in a neighborhood in one corner of the world. It's not trying to sell anything, and I'm certainly not trying to sell anything because I don't have anything to do with it. I was just surprised that there wasn't already an article for it so I created it.

Second, when will it be deleted and can anything be done to keep it? KansaiKrissy (talk) 10:48, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

@KansaiKrissy: Since this contributor is taking a Wikibreak, I'll answer on his/her behalf - it was a mistaken tagging for deletion and has been removed by another contributor. It's not promotional and almost certainly meets the relevant criteria for a short article, so I wouldn't worry about it. Do you have any sources discussing this shrine? I can't find a lot online, but since it's in Japan and a more historic landmark there's likely print and/or Japanese language sources for it. Thanks for creating this article! Feel free to ask about anything anytime. Appable (talk) 14:35, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

@Appable: thanks for your response. I will find sources and add them. KansaiKrissy (talk) 06:01, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

	Hello, i got your email today about the article i published yesterday. The one thats get deleted. Please help me on how to published that page correctly examples or samples would be great. thanks DevYAQOOB (talk) 12:56, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

DevYAQOOB, the article was actually removed on the responsibility of my colleague administrator Sphilbrick,and it's he whom you should ask. although I personally don't think the article was promotional, it did have a relatively weak claim to significance. Being a member of the Board of the Pakistani Bar Association is not a reason to have an article--being President of the Association would be. Nor is being the founder of the Father Instute of Management, which is a trade school and not a university. You will in any case need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources DGG ( talk ) 05:44, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Indiana cities

So the background color was for second-class cities? I removed it, and the daggers, because there was no legend and no unexplained-but-obvious meaning. Nyttend (talk) 15:35, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Looking more carefully, I just realised what's going on — green and daggers simultaneously indicate county seats. Gary and Hammond are both far larger than the minimum for second-class, while Petersburg and Rising Sun are both far too small, but they're both county seats, while the county seat for both Gary and Hammond is Crown Point. Compare the green entries with the county seats column in List of counties in Indiana; aside from county seats that are towns, not cities (e.g. Williamsport), the green-and-dagger list should be identical to the county seats column.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

The Deaths in YYYY page creates monthly sub pages as the year wears on. After January, the Deaths in January 2017 will be created. Check out the fifth bullet point of the FAQ Talk:Deaths in 2017/FAQ EvergreenFir (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

famousbirthdays.com is not a reliable source

Hi Rollingcontributor . I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 20:01, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Ronz, I had some reservations against citing the website, but proceeded anyway, with no knowledge that the discussion took place. Thanks for letting me know! RoCo^(talk) 06:51, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello Rollingcontributor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Eatme.io, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 cannot be applied to software. Thank you. SoWhy 20:44, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Rollingcontributor. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 20:28, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Mz7! RoCo^(talk) 09:21, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Crawford81

What are you on about? How did I add a joke to a Wikipedia page? Crawford81 (talk) 14:04, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

@Crawford81: These edits are clearly vandalism (or a joke, if you look at them in a certain way). If you are here to vandalise Wikipedia, why don't you turn around and become a constructive editor? Cheers. RoCo^(talk) 18:47, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello,i dont get it why i get those warnings...will my account be permanently banned? Anonymouaujajajjss (talk) 17:13, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

• @Anonymouaujajajjss: All your article edits have been identified as vandalism. If in doubt, ask me or someone else about how to contribute here on Wikipedia. You will not get blocked unless you indulge in vandalism again. RoCo^(talk) 17:16, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Redirect now broken

The redirect on page Your mileage may vary is now broken. Not entirely sure what exactly it should be following the Rfd outcome, can you please have a look? -- Egil (talk) 07:21, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

@Egil: I didn't get what you meant by broken. I visited the page as a random article, and saw it soft redirect to the article on Wikitionary. It looks like it still works. Was it meant to be a hard redirect? By the way the outcome of the Rfd is leaning towards keep and I might withdraw it soon if no other opinion gets stated. RoCo^(talk) 10:01, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Sai_Baba_of_Shirdi

The change I made to the the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sai_Baba_of_Shirdi page was to edit 1,00,000 into 1,000,000. This was done because 1,00,000 is not a number whereas 1,000,000 is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.39.156.254 (talk) 14:56, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand how 1,00,000 is "not a number" and 1,000,000 "is". Both of those are numbers, and introducing an extra zero against the source, as you did in this edit constitutes vandalism. RoCo^(talk) 15:01, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Ahh I understand now, I read up on the indian numbering system I thought it was a typo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.39.156.254 (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Good. Why don't you create an account? RoCo^(talk) 21:02, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Removed reference

Hi RoCo^(talk) let me say this, ongoing flights needs no references, references is just a proof of an action about to happen e.g we put reference as proof from a source if a future flight is to begin but once begun reference can be removed. By removing references it also helps clears up some space for easier editing. 33aircharter (talk)

@33aircharter: Hi, you seem to be having misunderstood the purpose and importance of referencing on Wikipedia. I request you to read WP:V thoroughly.

• Regarding your statement "ongoing flights needs no references", how do you expect readers to know if a flight is ongoing or if it is just an unverifiable claim, if there are no references. Referencing is not "just a proof of an action about to happen", it also serves to confirm actions that have happened or are happening. Why do you think it is OK to remove references once a flight has begun?
• Removing references for easier editing is not an acceptable criterion for the action. If a page seems messy, it's a task for cleanup, not blatant removal of references. You can't compromise one of the three core content policies of Wikipedia, i.e. Verifiability, just to make the page easier for editing.
  

With respect to these, I expect you to stop removing references as you've been doing. Thank you. RoCo^(talk) 13:00, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi as I explain the flight is confirm and agreed upon with a reference, if the source is faulty it will be remove when put in place, let me ask u this, will u go to all flights and add references? You did a revert but you didn't realize I've also dates from flights already begun, stop being anxious and understand what you are about before an edit...no offense but thanks anyway 33aircharter (talk)

@33aircharter: I apologize for reverting your removal of dates from flight's that have already begun, if that's what you meant. However, such removals are few and far in between, as seen from your contributions, most of which are just unexplained removals of references. I must tell you I did not completely understand what you meant by "will u go to all flights and add references"? However, if by that statement you're trying to say that references are not very important, then, repeating my statement, it is critical to reference all information on Wikipedia and refrain from making statements based on your own observations or interpretations (See WP:OR and WP:BURDEN). Thank you. RoCo^(talk) 16:40, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

RoCo^(talk) no problem and thanks for some of the advise...respect...33aircharter (talk)
