Proposed deletion of Frank van Keekan edit

 

The article Frank van Keekan has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. –eggofreason(talk · contribs) 22:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

September 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm Chaheel Riens. Your recent edit(s) to the page Priti Patel appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been removed for now.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Chaheel Riens (talk) 07:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

May 2021 edit

  Hello, I'm Nagualdesign. An edit that you recently made to Elizabeth II seemed to be a test and has been reverted. If you want to practice editing, please use your sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! nagualdesign 18:51, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:37, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

It has been a while since Special:Diff/894523215 Special:Diff/894913206 and Special:Diff/913377875. Over two years since your registration. Now this. But why? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:39, 25 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

@ToBeFree: Seems a bit harsh. Wouldn't a final warning have been more appropriate? Or, if the rules are stricter for BLP violations, should I have given a sterner warning in the first instance? nagualdesign 02:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
The ban was correct. The individual was displaying either a WP:NOTHERE behaviour, or was having WP:CIR issues. GoodDay (talk) 15:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Yes, I looked over all of Dennis's contributions and realized it wasn't just his last few edits that were the problem. If I'd have spotted his behaviour when he edited Elizabeth II I would have asked for him to be blocked myself. nagualdesign 17:56, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi Nagualdesign and GoodDay, thanks for voicing the understandable concern, and thanks for the discussion above. Just as a late addition, that's just what got through the filtered attempts to disruptively restore old revisions of biographies – so old that they still contained pre-Wikidata interwiki links.
It took me a while to understand what they tried to do, and when I noticed and was considering how to react, they deliberately added factually clearly incorrect information to Adam B. So after 6 failed disruption attempts (each resulting in a big red warning:)...
..., they switched their method to the introduction of hoaxes, which – looking at the 2019 nonsense – was somehow a point where I figured that requiring them to provide an unblock request before continuing to edit would probably be a good idea. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
No big concern. The lad's banned. GoodDay (talk) 20:42, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
