Speedy deletion nomination of File:Staying up spinning top.jpeg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Staying up spinning top.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Spinning top secret edit

A tag has been placed on Spinning top secret requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

Proposed deletion of Space top edit

 

The article Space top has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references and no indication of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. --Finngall talk 17:51, 4 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello Gyrotop,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Space top for deletion, because it seems to be vandalism or a hoax.

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. ubiquity (talk) 17:59, 4 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Space top edit

I am afraid I misunderstood the nature of the note you sent me on my home page, since you didn't sign it, and it didn't reference the Space top article. But if the space top is your own invention, you should absolutely not write an article about it in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original research, or to publicize your own work. Instead, it exists to document things that have already gained notability in the eyes of others. Writing about your own invention would violate Wikipedia policies on conflict of interest and original research. If and when your invention becomes a success, other people will want to write an article about it. Thanks. ubiquity (talk) 21:14, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Curiously, what is this invention? Adog104 Talk to me 21:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

December 2015 edit

  Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to User:Ubiquity, did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Please do not add material to my User page. If you want to talk to me, use my User talk page (as you did before). I replied to your original note there. I also explained to you, on this page, why you should not write an article about your own invention. ubiquity (talk) 21:17, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your recent edits edit

  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) 22:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Original Research edit

Please read the original research policy. Your post to User talk:Ubiquity indicates that you think that you have made a new discovery in physics. Wikipedia is not the place to publish new discoveries in physics. A journal is the usual first place of publication for new science. Alternatively, if you can persuade a reporter for a science magazine such as Discovery, or a science reporter for a major newspaper such as the New York Times that your discovery is worth reporting, Wikipedia can then reference the publication in a journal, magazine, or newspaper. If you are trying to use Wikipedia to sell a toy, read Wikipedia is not for advertising. Your persistence in trying to use Wikipedia either to publish original research or to sell a toy is becoming tendentious. You are at risk of being blocked from editing.

June 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Crystallizedcarbon. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Angular momentum— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:14, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Physics, Talk:Angular momentum, Talk:Top, Talk:Gyroscope are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 17:21, 15 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Original Research edit

Once again: Read the original research policy. Wikipedia is not the vehicle for publishing your original research. Submit it to a journal, a magazine, or a newspaper. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:20, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Warning edit

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use talk pages for inappropriate discussions, as you did at Talk:Angular momentum and Talk:Gyroscope. - DVdm (talk) 06:40, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
