Your contributed article, Dan "Chimy" Chmielinski edit

 

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, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Dan "Chimy" Chmielinski. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Dan Chmielinski. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Dan Chmielinski. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. reddogsix (talk) 03:05, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve Martina DaSilva edit

Hello, Soundsabound432,

Thank you for creating Martina DaSilva.

I have redirected the page as part of our page curation process and note that:

The redirect of Martina DaSilva to The Ladybugs because it does not meet the article criteria under WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. Specifically, the subject has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works themselves outside of the context of her associated acts. If you can provide additional reliable sources, that I was not able to discover myself, please do so and restore the article. If there are any questions please reply to me using {{User|Barkeep}} to ping me. BarkeepChat 15:09, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Hello Barkeep (talk · contribs),

Thank you for your efforts redirecting Martina DaSilva to The Ladybugs. Additional source material has been found for page Martina DaSilva, but I can not figure out how to revert the redirect and restore the article. Can you help?

February 2020 edit

  Hello, I'm LanHikari64. I noticed that you recently removed content from The Ladybugs without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. 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. please leave an edit summary when removing that much content LanHikari64 (talk) 18:35, 10 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please read edit

Please read WP:COI and say here whether or not you have a conflict of interest, as described at that page. I request this because your user name and some of your edits suggest that you do have a conflict of interest, which would therefore need to be disclosed.
