Proposed deletion of Java update virus edit

 

The article Java update virus has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is no one thing called the "Java update virus". The "fake Java update" window is a fairly common trojan delivery system, not a specific piece of software, and certainly doesn't warrant an article of its own. There are (literally) millions of viruses, malware and trojans, and aside from those which have a genuinely significant economic or cultural impact Wikipedia shouldn't be trying to document them.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Mogism (talk) 22:40, 10 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.  Mogism (talk) 23:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for December 25 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toronto blackout (2013), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blackout (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Google Feedback edit

 

The article Google Feedback has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Every major corporation (and most non-major ones) have customer feedback forms on their website and at their stores. Google's feedback form is competely generic and is no more notable than the stack of "we value your comments" cards at the end of a Burger King counter.

Uncommon usages edit

Hi. I'm Jojalozzo. I noticed you have linked some uncommon but non-technical terms (e.g. "thrice" and "albeit") to their wiktionary definitions. I recommend replacing such usages with more common terms instead of adding dictionary links. Please use links mainly for Wikipedia articles. Thanks. Jojalozzo 04:52, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Marine D3 edit

Hello Blackbombchu,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marine D3 for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

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. --Animalparty-- (talk) 07:06, 10 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia from the Medicine Wikiproject! edit

 

Welcome to Wikipedia from Wikiproject Medicine (also known as WPMED).

We're a group of editors who strive to improve the quality of medical articles here on Wikipedia. One of our members has noticed that you are interested in editing medical articles; it's great to have a new interested editor on board. In your wiki-voyages, a few things that may be relevant to editing wikipedia articles are:

  • Thanks for coming aboard! We always appreciate a new editor. Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the talk page of WPMED. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the WPMED talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
  • Sourcing of medical and health-related content on Wikipedia is guided by our medical sourcing guidelines, commonly referred to as MEDRS. MEDRS typically requires recent secondary sources to support information; its application is further explained here. Primary sources (case studies, case reports, research studies) are rarely used, especially if the primary sources are produced by the organisation or individual who is promoting a claim.
  • Wikipedia is a kingdom full of a wide variety of editors with different interests, skills, and knowledge. We all manage to get along through a lot of discussion that happens under the scenes and through the bold, edit, discuss editing cycle. If you encounter any problems, you can discuss it on an article's talk page or post a message on the WPMED talk page.

Feel free to drop a note on my talk page if you have any problems. I wish you all the best on your wiki voyages! --LT910001 (talk) 05:06, 24 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

I think it was just articles on teeth I was ediding, not medical articles in general. Blackbombchu (talk) 00:19, 25 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Welcome edit

Hello, Blackbombchu and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:01, 28 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of SIR Corp edit

 

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

Proposed deletion of Registry Dr. edit

 

The article Registry Dr. has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsouced and unsourceable - the three "sources" are all from highly dubious websites, and as far as I can see no reliable source of any kind has ever even mentioned this product in passing. Also appears to be at best an ultra-close paraphrase and at worst an outright copyvio from this site. Wikipedia is not a directory of obscure software.

Re: Removal of original research from Frozen (2013 film) edit

Blackbombchu, thank you for your notification. However, per Manual of Style's WP:FILMPLOT, films are themselves primary sources, so the plot section doesn't necessarily need citing a source. It's common practice here that plot sections in film articles don't have source. And regarding your removal, if you watch the film, the snowman Olaf has said a very poignant thing that "An act of true love will thaw a frozen heart" which apparently refers to Anna's saving her sister. This is not original research. I've been watching this article since its creation, and the line has existed there since last December or so, without anyone's objection. For now, I reverted your edit; if you are still unsatisfied, please open a thread on its talk page. —ALittleQuenhi (talk to me) 08:06, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
