Posting same copy-and-pasted content on multiple article talk pages

Hi. It was not necessary or helpful for you to copy-and-paste the same text on five different article talk pages, as you did here, here, here, and here, and here. That kind of posting pattern is likely to be viewed by other editors as spam-like.

If you think that a topic is relevant to multiple pages, the correct thing to do is to bring it to a noticeboard or to post it on one talk page, with a short note left on other talk pages pointing to the original discussion. Please read WP:TALKCENT: Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#Centralized talk pages. I would appreciate it if you were to remove your duplicative comments, so as not to force other editors to repeat themselves over and over. Neutrality^talk 23:09, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Neutrality :) I agree that a central discussion on one article talk page seems easier. Easy is good. Thanks for the suggestion. I updated those article talk pages accordingly.

As for my user talk page, I'm assuming you missed that introduction. Which reads "On this page I welcome friendly discussions related to the content of my Wikipedia user page. As for discussions related to edits of Wikipedia articles, I suggest to use the talk page on each Wikipedia article." Feel really free to use your user page in any way convenient for you. Speaking for myself I prefer using article talk pages for discussion related to articles, and using my user talk page for discussions about my user page. Francewhoa (talk) 01:49, 30 March 2017 (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) 00:35, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi SineBot :) Thanks for that information. It's concise and well written. I was familiar with how to sign my posts though. I'm assuming you're referring to my today posts such as talk page post. If so, notice that I actually did sign my first original posts you're referring to. On that talk page my signature reads "22:49, 29 March 2017 (UTC)" After I signed my posts on those talk pages, roughly minutes later, I added an additional source to my post. Since my original post was already signed and nobody had yet replied I didn't see the point of signing again my updated first post.

As for my user talk page, I'm assuming you missed that introduction. Which reads "On this page I welcome friendly discussions related to the content of my Wikipedia user page. As for discussions related to edits of Wikipedia articles, I suggest to use the talk page on each Wikipedia article." Feel really free to use your user page in any way convenient for you. Speaking for myself I prefer using article talk pages for discussion related to articles, and using my user talk page for discussions about my user page.

Speedy deletion nomination of United Basketball Alliance of India

Hello Francewhoa,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged United Basketball Alliance of India for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
