Speedy deletion nomination of Aitna

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

A tag has been placed on Aitna, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Not sureIt's a rough translation of a text already deleted on it.wiki as copyvio from "Storia di Biancavilla" by Placido Bucolo.

YThis text do not exsist and this edits dont have a copyvio from that!.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Tikiwont (talk) 12:19, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Ciao Alpha30, I've closed the ANI thread as baseless.[1]. Ho chiuso l'argomento perchè privo di fondamento. If you want to edit here, you should improve your English and first of all respect the rules yourself. Magari vuoi migliorare il tuo inglese ma in ogni caso devi rispettare tu le regole sopra. If you see a reason to report others, please be as precise as possible and do not target nor attack them personally. If you deliberately post false reports for specific editors or continue to discredit users from Italy as you did with Vituzzu, you will be blocked. Se invece cerchi di discreditare Vituzzu o altri utenti, sarè bloccato il tuo account anche qui.--User:Tikiwont|Tikiwont User talk:Tikiwont|talk 16:15, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Basal metabolic rate

Made beginning unreadable, undoing it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.205.205 (talk) 04:46, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I completely reverted your changes. See Talk:Basal_metabolic_rate#Horrible_English —Darxus (talk) 01:11, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Your copypaste tag removals

I see you've changed the text in some articles with the "copypaste" tag a little bit and then removed that tag. Quoting Wikipedia:COPYPASTE#Can_I_copy-paste_if_I_change_the_text_a_little_bit.3F:

Can I copy-paste if I change the text a little bit?

Further information: Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing

No. It can be tempting to think that if you copy-paste the text and then change it a little bit, that then you're okay. For example you might change "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit prized for its nearly clear juice" to "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit appreciated for its almost clear juice". Unfortunately, this sort of superficial change is not enough: you must write the article in your own words, and then cite the sources you rely on. If the way in which a source has said something is important, use a quotation, including quote marks and a clear attribution in the text (eg According to John Doe, "The apple is a crisp, crunchy fruit prized for its nearly clear juice").

Please stop doing this. A few examples of your changes: Tartary Buckwheat, Speech and language impairment, Thomas Jefferson Academy, Catholic theology of the body.

Also, I suspect we would all be better off if you stop writing in the English wikipedia until your English improves. —Darxus (talk) 02:08, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello Alpaha30, one one hand I'm glad to see that you're now actually trying to help, on the other hand I have to second Darxus' concerns. The basic problem with these copy paste articles is that we have an unknown or unclear source. Many of your changes just blur the signaled problem whilst making the English or article structure worse. So much will need to be reverted.

To avoid frustration both for yourself and others, I would suggest the following:

1. Stay for now away from the Copy and paste backlog. It requires meticulous attention to the edit history, possible sources, copyvios et.c. Moreover, it is also an area where your own edits had problems yourself.
2. As long as your English is limited, avoid major rewrites. If its isn't readable others can later only revert all and restart. Do some small but well documented edits and see what the feedback is.
3. Maybe there are other areas than copyediting where you help. Se e.g. Wikipedia:Community_portal#Todo

hello, I have only tried to correct something in the edit pages copied and paste. I have corrected only a few point lead, and added some style. The pages can be restored as they were. no problem for me.--Alpha (^{my font is nobody...}) 17:25, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

The pages were already copied and paste in the category, and were already in a horrible English. I tried putting it with a light style. can be restored, as they were before the changes. ---Alpha (^{my font is nobody...}) 17:39, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for responding and also undoing something yourself. I've copied above note here, as other editors might be interested. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. The pages are in that category because there is a problem, mostly unreferenced content that needs to be analysed or just taken out. If you just edit over it in a light style, you are not adressing it. See also above. Moreover, many of your edits also change content structure and remove the citations that exist as well as maintenace tags, all in one strike, and you're actually worsening it. Sure, it can be undone, and I will do so over the next days, where it is too hard to figure out what you're doing and you are not self-reverting, but that costs time. You need to change your approach. See above for suggestions. Please also review Help:Edit summary. Thanks for your understanding. --Tikiwont (talk) 20:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Miss Grenada World

And the edit that you did after above posts, are so wrong that I'm at loss what else to do but massively revert all your edits. Miss Grenada World is part of, but in no way the same as Miss World.--Tikiwont (talk) 16:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Do not reinsert it another time, but address the issues brought up here. Tikiwont (talk) 17:02, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Darxus

You're still putting horrible English in articles. "Grenada, a country in the island of the Caribbean Sea." - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Miss_Grenada_World&diff=prev&oldid=389284540

The Caribbean Sea is not an island.

"His major interests include alternative energy...." - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vivian_Burkhardt&diff=prev&oldid=389336500

Should be "Her" not "His".

Please stop. The changes you are making are not worth also making the articles unreadable. Your edits also appear to be problematically lacking references. —Darxus (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Unlinking on this page

Why are you removing links to articles you've edited here on your talk page? Seems bizarre.
