Thanks / Adding references

Thank you for your constructive edits and additional references. You may find the article Help:Referencing for beginners useful in learning how to build complete and well-formatted references in Wikipedia. The methods shown in Using refToolbar are particularly handy for enabling efficient cut-and-paste construction of a proper Wikipedia reference. Your work is appreciated; please continue!

Please do look at the tutorials on referencing mentioned in my earlier message just above. The refToolbar method is very useful, because it uses a simple form to cue an editor to include the most important parameters (for example, author, date, publisher), while it takes care of the formatting details automatically. You can skip the later section in the tutorial, on manually building references, until/unless you need to "look under the covers" to make custom modifications.

Basic referencing is easier than it looks, especially if you use the refToolbar template method. If you read the tutorials and try some test edits in a WP:SANDBOX, but are still having trouble, leave a message for me here (I'll watch this page) and I'll try to lend a hand.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sabon (company)

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 Sabon (company), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:02, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:16, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Sanctions notification

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.
The details of these sanctions are described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general 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.

Mounir Majidi - Dispute resolution

A discussion of interest to you is taking place in Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Mounir_Majidi --Tachfin (talk) 11:20, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I am a DRN volunteer. Your position with regard to the case opened by Tachfin at the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard is solicited. If you do not wish to participate, please so indicate at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Mounir Majidi. Thanks. --Bejnar (talk) 03:22, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I am a DRN volunteer. I have opened discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Mounir Majidi discussion. Discussion should be about the content of the article, not about editors (thus comments about who reverted whom, or who cited what are not relevant. Whether and to what an extent a proposed source is reliable is relevant.) Please try to limit discussion to the specific points raised in each section. Before the DRN is closed, you will have an opportunity to raise any points that end up not being otherwise discussed. The object of a DRN to to achieve, at most sought for agreement, but at least a resolution that accords with Wikipedia policy and guidelines. We are all in this together. --Bejnar (talk) 19:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your participation in the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Talk:Mounir Majidi discussion. The DRN was closed as Tachfin did not return to editing for over two weeks. The DRN is archived at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/Archive 106#Talk:Mounir Majidi. DRN volunteer --Bejnar (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I'll modify the page the way I argued was the best, I am sure this is going to bring him back :-) --Chewbakadog (talk) 13:56, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Mounir Majidi". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation.

Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 19 May 2015.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.
