Nomination of Selfie Slam for deletion

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Selfie Slam is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Selfie Slam until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. 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. Dennis 13:26, 16 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Spamming editor names

Please don't spam the names of apparently arbitrary editors asking them to buy, play and write about your favourite game. If an article needs expansion and is tagged as a WP:STUB, interested editors will eventually find it by themselves. --McGeddon (talk) 09:52, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

I sawed on Twitter @McGeddon: https://twitter.com/wpstubs/status/511865054086459392 was investigated stub bots there. MandatoryTeaser (talk) 10:04, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Okay. That's no reason to alert an apparently arbitrary group of editors asking them to help you. If you need help writing an article about a video game, try WP:VG. --McGeddon (talk) 10:09, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
(Note that if you've deliberately selected a group of editors who you think might like Rovio games because there's currently an AfD in progress on the article you wrote and you'd like them to defend it, this is inappropriate.) --McGeddon (talk) 10:14, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oh. OK. Thanks for the asking for helping me. McGeddon. MandatoryTeaser (talk) 10:16, 17 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
Just to let you know, posting notices such as this on other users' talkpages may constitute canvassing as well. If users are interested in an AfD, they'll find and comment on it by themselves; there is no need to inform uninterested people. Satellizer (´ ・ ω ・ `) 00:45, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
We'll, but the official website is confirmed with the AFD

[1] here. I thinking so well to thanks for the reliable sources was confirmed? Maybe… MandatoryTeaser (talk) 01:00, 22 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Why did you revert my edits to this article? You didn't give a reason. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Impersonation

  Warning: Why did you claim to have admin rights when this is not true? Same goes for the other rights you claim in your user page. Please explain here. Any further violations or trying to deceive users will lead to a blocking of the account. -- Alexf(talk) 11:56, 23 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Haven't since of the Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion/Retry was created since of Retry has been created by User:Bryancyriel. There is response await for the Nomination for deletion of the article and the drafts are missed too. It is not a checkuser or block sock puppet maybe in the USA. MandatoryTeaser (talk) 02:52, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. PhilKnight (talk) 04:52, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

{{unblock|I know that the Miami, Florida will missed any nomination to wherever that User:Lupin has a tool for Anti-Vandalism. I was supporsed more of the few things it is not a sock puppet. Maybe Jimbo has been not explain why for the check user account is not possible needed to help any articles for another creation. MandatoryTeaser (talk) 05:30, 26 September 2014 (UTC)}} Excuse me...what? Your block has nothing to do with any AfD. You are blocked because you were confirmed by DoRD as a sock puppet. Origamite 03:24, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Your ability to edit your talk page has also been revoked. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.  PhilKnight (talk) 05:36, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

GA Cup - September 2014 Newsletter

WikiProject Good Articles's 2014-15 GA Cup - September 2014
 

Welcome to the GA Cup! In less than 72 hours, the competition will begin! Before you all start reviewing nominations we want to make sure you understand the following:

  • This is a friendly competition so we don't want any cheating/breaking of the rules. However, if you do believe someone is going against the rules, notify the judges. All the rules are listed here.
  • If you are a new editor or new to reviewing Good article nominations, it is imperative that you read the 4 essays/guides listed under FAQ #4. If you do not understand something, ask a judge for clarification ASAP!
  • The competition is not entirely about who can review the most nominations. Per the "Scoring" page, there is different criteria in which you can earn more points. Theoretically, you could review 10 nominations and have 80 points but another user could have reviewed 5 nominations and have 100 points. Yes, we want you to review as many nominations as you can as this will greatly increase the number of points you earn, but you must also keep in mind that every single review will be looked over by a judge. If we find that you are "rubber-stamping" (in other words, the review is not complete but you still passed/failed the article) you may be disqualified without warning.

Also, rather than creating a long list on what to remember, make sure you have read the "Scoring", "Submissions", and "FAQ" pages.

Now for the one question that we guarantee you have: how on earth will the rounds work???

Yes, we never actually had a solid platform regarding how the rounds would work because we had no idea how many people would sign-up. Even though the competition is about to begin, because sign-ups are still open, it is impossible to say exactly how each round will work. As of now, we can confirm that Round 1 will have everyone compete in one big pool. Depending on the final number of participants after sign-ups close, a to-be-determined number of participants will move on (highest scorers will move on) to Round 2. We guarantee that the top 15 will move on, so make sure you aim for those top positions! Moving on to Round 2, participants will be split into pools of even numbers (for example, every pool will have 6 participants). The pools will be determined by a computer program that places participants by random. More details regarding Round 2 will be sent out at the end of Round 1.

It is important to note that the GA Cup will run on UTC time, so make sure you know what time that is for where you live! On that note, the GA Cup will start on October 1 at 0:00:01 UTC; Round 1 will end on October 29 at 23:59:59 UTC; Round 2 will commence on November 1 at 0:00:01 UTC. All reviews must be started after or on the start time of the round. If you qualify for Round 2 but do not complete a review before the end of Round 1, the review can be carried over to Round 2; however that review will not count for Round 1. Prior to the start of the the second round, participants who qualify to move on will be notified.

Finally, if you know anyone else that might be interesting in participating, let them know! Sign-ups close on October 15 so there is still plenty of time to join in on the action!

If you have any further questions, contact one of the judges or leave a message here.

On October 16 or 17, 2014, check the Pools page as we will post the exact number of participants that will move on to the next round. Because this number will be determined past the halfway mark of Round 1, we encourage you to aim to be in the top 15 as the top 15 at the end of the round are guaranteed to move on.

Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan.
