University of Maryland, College Park

edit

Hey, you made a recent edit to Talk:University of Maryland, College Park where you noticed that a recent edit was unsigned. You rightly added an unsigned tag, though that edit was in fact vandalism that should have been reverted. Make sure you watch out for that sort of thing. Jussen 01:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I was aware of it being vandalism, but I wasn't sure if it was still taboo to remove it since it was on the talk page. Thanks for the clarification. CheeToS 03:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

edit

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Indi chocolate moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Indi chocolate, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:24, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Bakery Nouveau

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

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

A tag has been placed on Bakery Nouveau 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 a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of bean-to-bar chocolate manufacturers. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Adding your two new articles (had the topics been notable) is one thing, but changing cloudberry to buttberry is pure infantile vandalism. Cabayi (talk) 09:59, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Responded to this on Cabayi's talk page. The vandalism was a regrettable accident due to a Chrome extension I have installed. I appreciate the revert (but not the personal attack). CheeToS (talk) 20:35, 23 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Draft:Indi chocolate

edit
 

Hello, CheeToS. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Indi chocolate.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. — JJMC89(T·C) 00:49, 24 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
