Adam Jankowski edit

Hi! It seems you recently created an unreferenced biography of a living person: Adam Jankowski. The community has decided that all new biographies of living persons must contain a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article as per our verifiability policy. Please add references as soon as possible. Thanks! --LaraBot (talk) 00:12, 18 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Alf Bayrie edit

The articles that you are adding are very important, and , as an admin much concerned with articles on painters and other artists, I want to help facilitate them. types of subjects re are some problems with this article.

The problem is that you are entering very rough translations indeed, which follow exactly German syntax, and need to be put into English. I am not fluent in German, and would never attempt to write at the standard expected at the German Wikipedia, but I do know enough German to understand what is intended by your translations, and to refer back to the German if there seems to be some question.

What is written in the English WP is not expected to be perfect, but does need to be put into at least an approximate of standard English. For example, in English, we do not say "1987 devoted Adam Seide his novel "Rebecca" to the memory of the painter Alf Bayrle", but something like "In 1987 Adam Seide published the novel Rebecca, which he dedicated to the memory of Alf Bayrle." We normally put the subject of an article at the beginning, and there is a difference in usage between the near synonyms devoted and dedicated. I do not know how easily you could do this. If you can ensure that they are in idiomatic English before you leave them, please do so, and whhile you are doing it place a tag reading {{underconstruction}} at the top of the article. |date=August 2013}} If perchance you find it more demanding than you have the time to do, you should ask for assistance. I can offer it to a limited extent, but those who are more nearly bilingual than I can do it more quickly and more accurately. Please see our page Wikipedia:Translation for a further explanation, and especially our page Wikipedia:Translation/German/Translation advice.

Specifically, please do not enter articles here from the German WP or otherwise unless you add the references also, preferably at the very first edit. Even if you do not want to translate and normalize them to our standards or look for English language sources, copy them as they are.

If you need any assistance in procedure here, please ask me directly on my user talk page. and I will see the request. (another interested person to help in this is my good friend Kudpung--I see he left you a note a while ago.) DGG ( talk ) 02:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Dear DGG I used the Google translator tool and things like "devoted" instead of the right term on this place "published" come from there. The article is not finished.--ChristosV (talk) 07:14, 20 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Paul Etz 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 Peter Paul Etz 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 "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. Karl 334 Talk--Contribs 17:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

De-Bosset Bridge moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, De-Bosset Bridge, 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.

Your cut and paste page move has been reversed edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Roller in-line hockey a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Inline Hockey. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:56, 3 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Emil Bartoschek edit

 

The article Emil Bartoschek has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Artist fails each part of WP:NARTIST:

1. He is not a well-known artist. 2. He did not invent anything new 3. He is not known for a specific work.

4. His artwork has been showcased in only ONE museum. NARTIST explains that he has to have been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
