Speedy deletion nomination of Kanzi (disambiguation)
A tag has been placed on Kanzi (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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 "Click here to 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.

Violating rules Quoting non-English sources on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17
According to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Quoting_non-English_sources When quoting a non-English source (whether in the main text, in a footnote, or on the talk page), a translation into English should always accompany the quote. I did exactly that. Note that deleting important information backed by the sources may be qualified as vandalism. I hope you just did not see my translation --Ilya (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Reedy, I'm concerned with your behavior on this article. First, Russian sources are not disallowed. In fact, using only Western sources is what could cause us to have a systematic bias. Not only that, but why are you using sysop tools on articles you've edited?--v/r - TP 17:40, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I was going to be patient and give you as much time as you needed to respond, but another involved admin has begun issuing threats to any users questioning your actions and that admin insisted I raise the issue at ANI. Please see WP:ANI#Two involved admins on MH17 article.--v/r - TP 18:10, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Struth! Didn't take you long to get this one locked down, did it? [1]. Please see MH370 and the reasons given there for NOT locking down these types of article. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- Even worse! I see you created it, and within 1.5 hours you'd protected it. What bad form. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:16, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17
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 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
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 "Click here to 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.
