Battleships Forever edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Battleships Forever, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Battleships Forever.

Speedy deletion of Jump Bug edit

 

A tag has been placed on Jump Bug 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:33, 7 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Kepler-68 edit

 

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kepler-68, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.2596.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Why is Budget of NASA outdated? edit

I can't see what about the article is out of date, so I deleted the tag. If you still feel this way, please check the Template:Update documentation and add a reason why, and discuss on the article's talk page. Thanks. JustinTime55 (talk) 14:53, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

During the tagging, it was outdated and currently it still does did not cover recent budget cuts. --Artman40 (talk) 15:52, 26 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Re: Exoplanets discovered in 2014 edit

Every planet listed except Kepler-25d were discovered prior to 2014, so I'll only add Kepler-25d to it. I don't believe that planets around Kepler-51 have densities less than 0.05 g/cm3, so they must've underestimated their mass or more likely overestimated their radius. If masses and radii are correct, then how can super-Earths possibly form with insanely low densities and what the worlds would be like; I say they got to be coreless? So yeah, you can go ahead to make an article. PlanetStar 02:54, 19 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

BLP Discretionary sanctions notice edit

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.

A.K.A. you closed your discussion because you failed to find a good counterargument and misusing personality rights as an excuse to do so. Here is an article about what some developers think about GamerGate. --Artman40 (talk) 21:17, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
Um, there's no AKA here, I have no idea what you're talking about and I have no desire to discuss article content with you or anyone else. My involvement is strictly confined to Wikipedia Policy and behavioral issues. Dreadstar 21:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Does not make it any clearer. --Artman40 (talk) 14:32, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
"This message is informational only and does not imply misconduct regarding your contributions to date.", means it's informational only and no misconduct is implied. Virtually all users editing those subjects are given this notice. Dreadstar 15:48, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Citations and edit comments edit

Hi there Artman40, I just spent an hour trying to trace back references and verify data consistency after some of your edits in Kepler-138 and HR 8832. Please always add comments to your edits. In case you copy-paste content from other articles, please check the citations, or at least mention the article from where the content comes from so other editors can fix errors easily later on. If you change figures in a table, please add the cited source to the table, and not just copy-paste the URL in the comment, so I don't need to go through all the subsequent edits to verify if their added sources correspond to/include your previous changes as well. Thank you Rfassbind – talk 13:38, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
