Speedy deletion nomination of Green Our Vaccines

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Green Our Vaccines 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 an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), but it does not 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 "Click here to 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. reddogsix (talk) 03:01, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of From the Depths (game)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on From the Depths (game) 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 "Click here to 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:From the Depths Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:From the Depths Logo.png. 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) 01:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Let's Encrypt logo

Hi. Re: File:Let's Encrypt Logo.png, thanks for the upload! I actually think we're probably fine to upload the SVG instead of a rasterization. MediaWiki's thumbnailer will handle the rasterization to PNG from SVG and there's an argument that we want to be as faithful to representing the logo as possible, which an SVG gets us closer to. I think other non-free company SVG logos exist as well (e.g., File:McDonnell Douglas.svg). If you still don't think we should have the SVG version here, we should at least remove the white background from the PNG here. I don't think it was intended. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:17, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Gatis Kandis

Hello. I've added a reference that proves that the correction I made at the afforementioned article is correct, and constructive. Thanks. 79.153.38.80 (talk) 17:30, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

NP, as a former editor I know all too well the situation that you describe. So, as you may have noticed, I did not bicker at you for reverting. Just as an anecdote, the wording used at the source however does not match the original statement by Cowell, who literally said "funniest unfunniest", as you can observe in the video at Youtube. Thanks and goodbye, 79.153.38.80 (talk) 17:50, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Kidnapping of Aldo Moro

Can you restore my changes? Some related fixes dates. As for translations (if they were translated badly) you may modify and translate better? I entered them because are significant and important from a historical and political point. --151.65.228.152 (talk) 23:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

User talk:98.181.37.86

Hi, I know how frustrating it can be to deal with people who don't understand what we do here and won't listen to warnings, but this isn't the right way to deal with them. Wikipedia:Do not insult the vandals says it better than I could. ekips39 (talk) 03:01, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Don McLean

Please don't give me nonsensical template warnings. I did give a reason for my edit (did you read it?) a whole subsection about a Madonna cover belongs on the song article, not in McLean's article. Helpsome (talk) 18:00, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Birmingham Bulls (American football)

Hi, just got your message about my edits. Apologies, I've been forgetting to put the edit summaries. I've been trying to overhaul the page for a while, so have been moving stuff around throughout the day, adding information, references and on the whole, trying to make it fit in with other American Football teams. Thanks.

Melody (potato)

Hello. There was an edit conflict, as I was creating the stub. I kept your infobox, but added a picture and changed your text for in-line referenced content. Please feel free to expand the page as long as it is fully cited. It would be good to find out more about the breeding company as well. They own the breeding rights to quite a few varieties apparently. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:02, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

I also added it to Template:Potato cultivars

Thank you. I would like to find out when it was invented and patented.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:16, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

GM potato

Hi. Thanks for starting this draft. Are you looking to expand it further? There are several other important GM potatoes and I can provide sources if it's helpful. The current draft is ok, but it needs to distinguish transgenic and cisgenic. Thanks SmartSE (talk) 09:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Yes, I would be expanding it, especially if there is some information left out, and there are sources for that information. That would be very helpful, thank you! SarrCat ∑;3 10:53, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

OK. NewLeaf info 1 2. Good info on Innate 1 (I can email you a copy) 2. The article should discuss current attempts to create blight and nematode resistance e.g. [1] and [2]. It should also briefly mention the Pusztai affair as it was one of the first GM potatoes created. I'll carry on copy editing if that's alright with you. SmartSE (talk) 11:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Go ahead, feel free to copyedit, add more stuff, etc. Thanks a lot for the help with this! Oh, and you can email a copy of that to me at [e-mail] (it's a disposable mask that forwards to my real email.)SarrCat ∑;3 15:21, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for starting it... another one of those articles on my to do list that someone else gets to first! Did you get my email btw? SmartSE (talk) 00:19, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't check yet! I'll go do that. Thanks! SarrCat ∑;3 00:21, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

When did you send it? I just recently started using the email masking service that that address comes from, so it could be being weird for some reason (like, oh, i dunno, me not knowing how to properly use it... nahh, that can't be it!) SarrCat ∑;3 00:25, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed this before. Easier do it the new-fangled way: [3]. {{cite doi}} is very helpful for citing papers. Whilst we're at it, have a pretty graphic (download and open in chrome): [4] SmartSE (talk) 12:07, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
