If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. TransporterMan (TALK) 17:18, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps I'm biassed, because I'm a fan, but I reckon there should be a wikipedia page for The Juice Media. Aberdeen01 (talk) 14:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Aberdeen01, I replied on the talkpage and then added the radio reference in. Adjust if needed. I left 4 refs on the talkpage and used 2 on the article, 1 for the year of the radio show start 1992 and one for the mid-90s book start. Murry1975 (talk) 18:30, 1 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Dermot Kinlen 1999.jpeg, which you've sourced to Lyle O'Donnell. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

What we're trying to do here is to build a great, free, online encyclopedia. When a wikipedia editor enters a new paragraph of text, they can't steal the copyright work of others. That's something that most of us would agree on. However, a second editor can't delete the work of the first editor because the original editor didn't prove there is no copyright violation. If an editor is going to do something destructive, like delete a paragraph of another editor, then the burden of proof must be with the editor who is destroying the work of the constructive editor. People who want to remove the work of other editors need to have a very good reason to do so.
The more hoops we ask editors to jump through, the fewer edits we're going to get
Over the past few years the number of editors of the English language version of has dropped significantly. If we want to reverse this, we should refrain from deleting the work of editors unless we have a very good reason.
If someone has made up a silly rule that suggests the burden of proof is with constructive editors rather than with people who enjoy destroying the work of others, then thinking people should work towards getting the rule changed and not blindly following it.
In my own case a while ago I uploaded to wikipedia a photo taken by an amature photographer of Dermot Kinlen. The photographer gave permission to a webmaster to use the photo for free on his site. That webmaster in turn said I could upload it to wikipedia. I then tried to contact the original photographer for confirmation. I did not get a reply from the email and I put in some effort to find him. I believe he may have died. I found a death notice of someone with his name in his town who has recently passed away. Of course I cannot be certain this was the same person. In this case I think if anyone wants to delete the photo they should need to prove that there is an objection for the use of this photo. If a family member of the deceased comes forward and objects to the use of the photo, then fine, let's take the photo off wikipedia. But that has not happened and I think we all know that that is not going to happen. I have already spent far too much time trying to sort out this issue. The photo has been deleted and it is far too much hassel to try to get it reinstated.
In the case of Zhang Yi Tang's photo, it was released by his university in a press release. The person who deleted it should have confirmed there was an objection to it's use before making the deletion.
Unfortunately, once again the destructive editors have won. I think they need some better guidelines.

On 29 May 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Zhang Yitang, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that mathematician Zhang Yitang proposed a proof that there are infinitely many pairs of prime numbers with a prime gap of 70 million or less? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zhang Yitang. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added 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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toby Flood, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (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.

Hello, I'm Ebyabe. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Ebyabe (talk) 02:49, 27 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Why not be constructive rather than destructive? The ref that I've now added was already included in the article in the 'External Links' section. But if you really wanted the ref to be added again, I bet it would have taken you less time to add it than to type what you wrote above. My suggestion is that you spend more time being constructive and less time removing the good faith edits of others. --Aberdeen01 (talk) 13:41, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Please note that I have reverted your edits to Lily James as you used IMDB as a source for information in a biography article. Please note that per long-standing consensus, IMDb does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. You can read more about the reasons for this here, here and here. With regard to the inclusion of a birth date, policy dictates that birth dates are only included when published in multiple sources meeting reliable sourcing criteria. -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 23:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
It would be much better if you were to improve the work of others rather than destroy it. In the time that it took you to write that paragraph above, I bet you could have found a couple of independent sources. Aberdeen01 (talk) 17:01, 1 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
WP:BURDEN. I've added sources to thousands upon thousands of biography articles (there was even an entire project dedicated to it). Now I'm taking the opportunity to educate others on how to improve their sourcing when they fail to follow WP:BLP, either through ignorance or neglect. There's nothing "destructive" about ensuring Wikipedia's most important and bright line policies are upheld. Have a great day!-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 00:06, 9 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
