New articles

edit

Hi there. I noticed that you created the pages Rick Bailey and Fred Paoli. There are a few problems with these pages at the moment, mainly to do with Wikifying the articles. I recommend you take a look at Wikipedia:Your first article to get an overview on how to create an article. I'd also recommend you visit Wikiproject Rugby union and have a look around there. It may have some useful information for you. If you have any questions don't hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. -- Shudde talk 07:01, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

I've made some edits to the Rick Bailey article. Hopefully this gives you some idea on how to polish an article up. Cheers. -- Shudde talk 07:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Accidental Speedy Deletion Tag

edit

@Thereviewer189: It appears as though I accidentally tagged one of your recently created articles for speedy deletion. That was a mistake on my part as I misclicked the wrong/incorrect article. I have self-reverted the deletion tag so it is no longer currently meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Sorry about that! Glorifier (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of 1881 New Zealand census

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, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on 1881 New Zealand census requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. 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 "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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Nomination of History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Canada for deletion

edit
 
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Canada is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Canada until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

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.

Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 20:22, 17 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

 

The article History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Japan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NOTSTATS and WP:NRIVALRY. There is consensus for deletion on lists like this where no rivalry is present. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/History of rugby union matches between Ireland and Georgia as an example.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

MLR Attendance Figures

edit

Hey!

I'm curious about the attendance figures for the MLR games in 2023.

How did you discover the figures and where are the citations for that kind of data?

I didn't see that for ARN articles for Round 2 of the games. Hisakiwa21 (talk) 18:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

They are a combination of officially announced numbers e.g. SD Legion 11.4K
"Tickets sold numbers" to gauge attendances where reporting on crowds may be sketchy/non-existent
General estimates thrown around.
If you think these edits are bad. Then they will be stopped ASAP. Just trying to help. Thereviewer189 (talk) 19:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Nah,
I do really appreciate it because it's better than not having anything worthwhile to report because I plan to use it for some of my blog posts.
