Is anything happening with my bot request from a few weeks ago? I've lost track of where it was in the process. --Stepheng3 (talk) 20:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Fernando Dinarte Santos Silva

Hi there TM, VASCO from Portugal here,

footballers (only Brazilian, Portuguese and Spanish ones) have different specifications. Some are known by first name and not surname. In some instances, they are known by nickname (not Fernando's case, it's his real name, but he's known as FERNANDO, not DINARTE, not SANTOS and not SILVA, FERNANDO).

Attentively, happy week - --217.129.65.54 (talk) 21:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Oh, and lest you give little credit to my contribution due to the anon IP, i am a registered user for almost three years now (six as an editor overall), i am User:VascoAmaral. Cheers! --217.129.65.54 (talk) 23:25, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Angel Nacev, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Macedonia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Christopher Meneses

 

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 Christopher Meneses 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Hghyux (talk) 16:34, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Christopher Meneses

Hi Feedintm, you recently removed a deletion tag from Christopher Meneses. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:55, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thomas Kromann

 

The article Thomas Kromann has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
