Malcolm Laycock

Hi. I've reverted your edit to Malcolm Laycock for now. Apparently he has died, but we need a reference to comply with WP:BLP. If you can find one this would be very useful in helping to update the article. Thanks TheRetroGuy (talk) 21:41, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Brittany Murphy memorial page

A tag has been placed on Brittany Murphy memorial page 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Giorgos Kambanelis

A tag has been placed on Giorgos Kambanelis 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

DYK nomination of Michael Dwyer (journalist)

Hello! Your submission of Michael Dwyer (journalist) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified.

Deaths in 2010

Hi. The convention on all "Deaths in (year)" pages has long been that we permit all sourced deaths to persist for four weeks to allow an article to be created, and a great many articles have been so created. The normal issues of notability do not necessarily apply at this point. If you disagree, please feel free to propose a change of consensus at the Talk page. Thanks.

DYK for Michael Dwyer (journalist)

On January 13, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Michael Dwyer (journalist), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Attacks on my user page

I assume that you're not going to do this again, but just to point out that I actually merged the table with the one listing the current SPL clubs. Exactly how long a given manager has been employed at a club may be pertinent to said manager's biography, but in terms of the league article as a whole it's basically trivia. In future, if you have comments then please leave them at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 21:34, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
The next time you make a personal attack as you did at User:iBen, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Airplaneman ^talk 23:02, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
