Speedy deletion of "Progressive Democrats of Worcester"

A page you created, Progressive Democrats of Worcester, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a club or other organization, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for organizations in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Mifter (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

I've moved the article to a user subpage for you; it's at User:Rkerver/Progressive Democrats of Worcester. Please understand that content on Wikipedia has to meet our notability rules as written; you can work on it in your own userspace if needed, but it isn't entitled to stick around in article space if it doesn't already explain why the topic is notable enough for an article. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 21:02, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:GreenNewDealGroup-logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GreenNewDealGroup-logo.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 16:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:GreenNewDealGroup-logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:GreenNewDealGroup-logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Storm electric bike

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Storm electric bike, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do, and take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Extreme weather event on Cyclone Pam

Hey there, I see you keep adding information regarding extreme weather trends to Cyclone Pam's article. While an interesting tidbit of information, it's not entirely relevant to Pam itself. Trends like the one in the source provided are more relevant to multi-year trends rather than a single event. Adding this kind of information to a single event can end up being misleading and detract from the original point brought up.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could cease trying to add the aforementioned info to the article.

Regards, Cyclonebiskit (talk) 15:51, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Your addition to Cyclone Pam has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Jason Rees (talk) 16:07, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

For future reference, edit warring also isn't the way to go, regardless of which side is right.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pelé: Birth of a Legend, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Portuguese. 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.

Hello, I'm El cid, el campeador. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Reptilian conspiracy theory, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources.

Disambiguation link notification for October 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shays' Rebellion, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Worcester. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Anocracy, United States

Hi there. You have created the United States section in the article Anocracy and it was deleted for reasons discussed at Talk:Anocracy#United_States. Please participate in the discussion about this section and avoid WP:EDITWAR behavior. JaredHWood💬 15:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

January 2021

Hello, I'm Gwennie-nyan. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Anocracy, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. The source you provided is not sufficient per WP:RS. You've been reverted once. Please discuss on the article talk page before you continue this line of editing. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 19:30, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at 2021 storming of the United States capitol. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges on that page. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 19:31, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. ~Gwennie🐈｟💬 📋｠ 17:40, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Discretionary sanctions alert and warning

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Look, you need to start observing the spirit of WP:ONUS, not least when it comes to content that involves a topic area, like WP:AP2, that is covered by the WP:ACDS regime. So, please do better from this point forward. Also, please review the WP:OR policy page closely. Thanks and good luck! El_C 17:58, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
