Speedy deletion of Frary House edit

 

A tag has been placed on Frary House requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Yavoh 04:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

You provided no reliable, verifiable, independent sources. His own website and a retail opportunity at his publisher's website do not meet any of the requirements. Cabayi (talk) 16:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

November 2018 edit

Hello, Whenelvisdied. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created  Jon Padgett has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.

Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process.

You may find this tool useful for finding sources: Google custom search

Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too. You can ask for help at the TEAHOUSE

There is more information at Wikipedia:Community_portal Cheers, and happy editing. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Minor and not-so-minor edits edit

Hello, I'm BlackcurrantTea. I noticed you've marked two of your recent edits as minor; yet this edit to Twinings Museum and this edit to Rizvi aren't minor. It's an understandable mistake – I often did the same thing when I was starting out here.

The Wikipedia definition of minor is different to what most of us expect. I reviewed Help:Minor edit many times, trying to decide if the changes I was making were minor. It helped me to think of a minor edit as a change that a reader is unlikely to notice (unless it's reverting obvious vandalism: this also counts as minor). Maybe it fixes a typo, or corrects the format of a reference without adding any new information. It doesn't change or add anything very noticeable to the page, and other editors are unlikely to dispute it.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, you can reply to me here; I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist for a bit. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the heads-up--I appreciate the feedback and what you're saying makes sense. I'll be more careful in the future. Whenelvisdied (talk) 20:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
