November 2016

Hello, I'm Eric-Wester. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Walter Reeves— because it did not appear constructive. 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. Thanks. Eric-Wester (talk) 00:30, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, good catch on the Walter Reeves article. Your edit got it back to a more consistent, supported place. I'm not sure what happened with the architect's alleged information getting inserted (and I say alleged because the picture was not of him), but thank you for boldly fixing it! —C.Fred (talk) 00:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Walter Reeves (engineer)

The article Walter Reeves (engineer) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 00:45, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Walter Reeves (engineer)

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 Walter Reeves (engineer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. reddogsix (talk) 00:46, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blanks

If you don't know, please don't just put in blank brackets for Congressional committees.—GoldRingChip 01:57, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

110th United States Congress

I hope you still find time to finish off 110th United States Congress. There are still 18 different links to disambiguation pages. Some have multiple links, so the grand total is 24 links to be fixed. See here. Good luck. The Banner talk 12:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Hunico , but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 23:05, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You need to stop

You need to stop making mass changes without consensus and Unnecessary additions. IE: adding colors to articles. It's disruptive. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ^{Talk to me} 18:13, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding colors to articles. It's unnecessary, there is no need for it and no consensus to add colors to event articles. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ^{Talk to me} 01:30, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Joseph A. Palma, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John A. Lynch (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

Edit summaries

I notice that you've added see-also links to a number of articles on U.S. politicians, including some on my watchlist. I've no complaints about the substance of your edits. However, you don't appear to make a practice of including edit summaries, and I'd like to encourage you to do so.

Articles on pols draw lots of problem edits: vandalism, editorializing, OR... If you don't add summaries, than article-watchers have to check up on each edit individually, which is a waste of time that they could spend improving the encyclopedia. The fact that you haven't established a userpage is also a red flag: quite often, though certainly not always, a red username is a sign of a WP:SPA or a newly-established account by someone who might have a poor understanding of Wikipedia policies.

An edit summary doesn't have to be long or detailed: something simple like "Added see-also link" would suffice. Thanks! Ammodramus (talk) 13:08, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ELNO

Reads- 9 Any search results pages, such as links to individual website searches, search engines, search aggregators, or RSS feeds.

Your links added to Congressional pages violate this rule. They will be removed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 09:55, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you continue to do this? All your edits are being reverted. I will notify an administrator if you don't stop....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:26, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't heed the two messages from me above. So I have notified an administrator....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:46, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with ...William. There is no consensus use of {{Internet Archive author}} violates ELNO it's the only way we have to link to collections of materials at Internet Archive for which there is wide consensus and the template is used in 10s of thousands of Wikipedia articles. -- GreenC 20:03, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kev519.. you're adding the templates too fast and too indiscriminate. Not all of them should have |sopt=t yet you do that for all of them. You add wrong names sometimes or don't spell out the full name using the middle initial, this is wrong - did you read the documentation? You are not checking the search results and blindly adding the template, sometimes they have blank search results (no books at IA). Sometimes you add 3 articles in 1 minute.. that's about 3-6 times faster than a normal person who is checking results would do. Are you running a script? Are you checking the search results and modifying the template parameters to fine tune the results? I can support your work but the important thing is to get it right, not speed. -- GreenC 23:43, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this case you used |sname=Matthew M. Neely but per the template instructions you should use the full middle name "Mansfield" not "M." -- GreenC 13:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this case the name "Dan Daniel" is very common and it results in too many false positives. You will need to build a custom search. See the template documentation for methods and instructions. -- GreenC 13:27, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit you added it to the Reference section but it's not a reference. It's an External Link. Adding to the ref section makes it look like a reference when it's not. -- GreenC 13:36, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In this edit the template gives a blank result. -- GreenC 13:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you go back over the entries you've added. Click through the link and verify it returns accurate search results. Modify the search parameters per the template instructions - there is not a 1-size-fits-all.. About 50% of the time it will need |sopt=t and other times not. Experiment with different search settings until you find a search result that works well. If it only returns 1 or 2 books, maybe its best not to add it. If this is too much work or too complicated, please consider not using this template at all. -- GreenC 13:22, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm going through your edits one by one, there are too many problems. It's too much work for me to check every use of {{Internet Archive author}}. You've added close to 500, it would take at least 10-12 hours to check. The first 20 I checked had problems in about 50%. I see no choice but to revert them all, and ask you to be much more careful about your work if you decide to continue using this template. -- GreenC 13:43, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

C-SPAN

When you add C-SPAN as an external link in articles where there isn't yet a section titled "External links", please create an external links section and place the C-SPAN link there rather than placing the link in the "References" section. For an example, please do this rather than this. Thank you. Marquardtika (talk) 03:29, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CSPAN ELs

Why are you adding cspan ELs to many, many articles? Jytdog (talk) 23:29, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please STOP adding this template to articles. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:26, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

August 2017

Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Winona LaDuke.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. - FlightTime (open channel) 00:29, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:01, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

@Kev519: I see that you have posted on talk pages before with some difficulties (1, 2), but just in case, let's go over this again. Please respond to the messages on this talk page by clicking the [Edit] button on top of this page, and remember to sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~. You are responsible for every edits you make, and mass indiscriminate addition of information are generally not okay unless if you have some kind of consensus. If you continue to ignore other editors that have commented on your editing, whether intentionally or unintentionally, you may lose your editing privilege. Regards, Alex Shih ^Talk 03:12, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think this warning is overkill. See my comment at the ANI thread. E Eng 03:27, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Stop moving pages

You need to stop moving pages without consensus to do so. You can't just move a page because you feel like it. Go to the talk pages of the articles to get consensus first. Chris "WarMachineWildThing" ^{Talk to me} 17:19, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, you can move pages just because you feel like it -- WP:BEBOLD -- but one shouldn't do so if you know it's likely to be contentious. E Eng 17:30, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
