References

edit

For an article about a living person, ALL factual content must be verified by references. If refs not available, delete that content. David notMD (talk) 19:11, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Autobiography

edit

Wikipedia recommends that people do not attempt to create an article about themselves. See WP:AUTO. David notMD (talk) 04:18, 13 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you really want to try, use instructions at WP:YFA on how to create and submit a draft. No hyperlinks allowed. David notMD (talk) 12:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
For a living person, all content must be verified with references. What you know to be true cannot be included unless referenced. (And living people do not have a "Legacy"). David notMD (talk) 10:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

None of your refs qualify

edit

For your Sandbox draft, none of your references qualify. Not YouTube, Not your own website. See WP:42. If people with no connection to you have not been publishing stuff about you, there is no potential for this to be accepted. If submitted, my opinion is that it will be Speedy deleted (see WP:SD) as G11 = promotional, leaving no trace that it ever existed. David notMD (talk) 11:02, 24 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Minor means minor

See WP:MINOR for when to tag your edits as minor. David notMD (talk) 12:32, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The All Ireland Polo Club - Phoenix Park.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:The All Ireland Polo Club - Phoenix Park.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.facebook.com/441942385846192/photos/a.442119692495128/1706835506023534/?type=3 and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 deleted 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.

  Hello Michael Eamon Herbst! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source. You must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. Read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Our policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Michael Eamon Herbst. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Polo Wicklow, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Guliolopez (talk) 15:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nomination of Michael Eamon Herbst for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Michael Eamon Herbst, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Eamon Herbst until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Michael Eamon Herbst. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. (Please note that your removal of the AfD tag is particularly problematic. Per WP:EDITATAFD, and the text of the tag itself, it is not appropriate to remove an AfD notice before the related discussion has concluded. While an automated process/bot has corrected this problem, removal of AfD templates - in particular - could be considered a form of disruptive editing.) Bye. Guliolopez (talk) 19:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

So you were cautioned against committing this kind of behavior on June 19 and yet you did it again on June 20. If you delete those tags again before the AfD concludes, you may find yourself blocked and/or the page protected for the time being. Doczilla Ohhhhhh, no! 21:16, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
