I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place Discussion over at the RT News articleThere's a discussion on the talk page of RT News that you were originally involved in that has carried off again and become a debate on the talk page about criticism in the lede of the article (which has been locked with the criticism removed from the lede by an admin). I ask that you contribute to the talk discussion, since it was originally your idea to remove the criticism from the lede in the first place. Thank you, Solntsa90 (talk) 19:58, 16 January 2016 (UTC) National varieties of English
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 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. Valenciano (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2016 (UTC) Reference errors on 10 November

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Deletion discussion about Dicko FilsHello, SpikeballUnion, I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Dicko Fils should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dicko Fils . If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Speedy deletion nomination of SofianoHello SpikeballUnion, I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sofiano for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Bensci54 (talk) 18:03, 28 February 2017 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Dassoui
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Dassoui requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed.

Sorry for reverting, but the concept of "entailment" is not identical to that of "logical consequence". Although I agree the article is in the bad state of referencing. Staszek Lem (talk) 00:45, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
Indic ScriptPlease do NOT add Indic script, in ANY language, to the lead section of an article, as you did at Visakhapatnam as this contravenes WP:NOINDICSCRIPT - thank you - Arjayay (talk) 12:45, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
Reflist|4Hi. Just letting you know that reflist|2/3/4 are all deprecated per Template:Reflist#Columns. If you don't know the best ways to format these are:
Most of the time, 4 columns don't really need to be used unless an article has well over 200 or so refs. thanks --Jennica✿ / talk 10:10, 23 April 2017 (UTC) April 2017

Many of your edits aren't supported by any sources, they seem to be your OR. Your opinions aren't neutral by definition.Xx236 (talk) 09:21, 4 May 2017 (UTC) May 2017
I see you are doing a lot of solid work around these articles, but surely it doesn't make sense to put a redlink into "See also"? Pinkbeast (talk) 19:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 9Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Keita dynasty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Niani.

If you disagree with my reverts, I think it would be more fruitful that we discuss it on the talk page. Thanks. danielkueh (talk) 19:24, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
Undue weightExactly how is the caption supposed to be Undue weight? There is no debate that Western culture, for most of its history until the Cold War, was nearly the same as Christian culture. By claiming this to he POV you ignore tge existence of the Middle Ages, which takes up most of the history of Western civilization. And just because my contributions support Christianity is irrelevant, because they cite reliable sources.Music314812813478 (talk) 00:33, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Stalin's DictatorshipSpikeballUnion, your dedication to improving the Joseph Stalin bio is commendable, especially your attention to the smallest details, such as whether or not there should be an indefinite article between governed the Soviet Union as and dictator. Your work inspired me to think more deeply about the lede; thanks to you, I've come up with a stronger solution: He governed the Soviet Union as its dictator.

IP addressYou may have accidentally revealed your IP address with your last edit. This happens from time to time. (It's happened to me.) If that's the case, and you want to keep your IP address unknown, then you can e-mail the oversight team to have your IP address erased from the talk page and its edit history. Apologies if you already know this. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 17:09, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Hi, some of your recent edits have been creating inconsistincies within articles on the type of spelling used. This changed center to centre twice and left center in four other locations. Per MOS:ENGVAR we should be retaining whichever national variety of English was used in the article and be having internally consistent spelling. Your edits violated both of those. Please do not continue making such changes. nableezy - 20:04, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
MOS:ENGVAR and other mattersIn a recent edit to Bazaar you changed the spelling of two words - "centre" (Brit English) to "center" (US English) and "organization" (US English) to "organisation" (Brit English), but left other inconsistencies in spelling in the article (e.g. "modernize" and "centralised"). No doubt you are aware, that the spelling should be internally consistent within the article and should follow the English variation used in the first version of the article. If you plan to change the spelling, at least those changes should be consistent with other usage within the article. If you do not intend to change all the spellings to a consistent variation of English, then it is probably best left alone. (I cannot seem to determine which variation of English was the original, but have now converted all spellings to British English.) In addition, you added a wiki link to a word, "caravanserai" that had already been linked in an earlier part of the article and as I am sure you are aware, should not be linked twice within the same article. I have deleted your change on the basis that there was already a link to that article. Finally, you changed the title of a painting and put the new title in italics and lower case. However, capitals are normally used for the first word in a title (of a book, magazine, TV program or work of art). And, although italics arguably should be used for titles, they seem to attract the attention of reversionists, so I have ceased using this format for titles. All the other titles in this article do not use italics, so the use of italics for one painting title while leaving other titles in the unitalicised form introduces another inconsistency.

Telegram NPOV?It seems you are the user who added a WP:NPOV banner in the reception section of the Telegram (messaging service) article. Do you mind explaining the rationale in Talk:Telegram_(messaging_service)#NPOV.3F so a debate can take place? Normally, such banner is associated with an entry in the talk page or the Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard. Thanks! --TheAnarcat (talk) 17:37, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Sofiano concernHi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Sofiano, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace. If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements. If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13. Thank you for your attention.

HasteurBot (talk) 01:33, 24 November 2017 (UTC) Please pay attention when revertingYour revert here was not justified by invoking having reverted a blocked IP. Please check the history of the article, and the talk page before making blind reverts. The lyrics of Anthem of the Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic were removed again after the IP's removal (which was, actually, justified by their edit summary of WP:NOTLYRICS). A thread was opened specifically to address the situation on the article's talk page here. If you have any concerns as to the legitimacy of the removal, feel free to respond to the thread with relevant policies and guidelines. Thank you for your understanding. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:04, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sofiano Balzak (Musician) (January 15)
fake blue links instead of useful red linksHi SUM1, I've noticed that you've been converting red links to fake blue links. Turning everything blue can be detrimental to the encyclopedia. For instance, we may have a red link to [[X sprachbund]]. That's a useful red link -- for example, an expert reader of the article may see the red link, think it's important to cover and so decide to create an article on the subject. If you make it blue by changing it to [[X]] [[sprachbund]], you make it look like we now have an article on the subject when we don't, confusing readers and discouraging the creation of the article. Perhaps worse, that destroys the link if an article ever is created. Also, neither 'X' nor 'sprachbund' may be worth linking to at this point in the article. In general, the MOS and other WP guidelines discourage placing one link immediately after another, without any intervening material, because that looks confusingly like one long link, and also encourage the retention of useful red links -- ones that link to a potentially useful future article. — Thanks, kwami (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for May 16Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Labourd, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Basque Country (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.) It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:13, 16 May 2018 (UTC) |
