Speedy deletion of Empty forest declined

I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Empty forest under CSD A10. While poaching is a factor in Empty forest syndrome, it is not the only factor, as the given source indicates. Human development and encroachment also play a factor. Thus, it is not a duplicate of Poaching. If you wish to pursue deletion, please use Articles for Deletion instead. Thanks.

RE: Will Stewart United States Senator of North Carolina in 2014

I have no reason to believe that my edit is anything other then a reliable verifiable source. I also don't have any reason to believe that stating facts are posting the fact of my declaration of intent to run is in anyway a conflict of interest. I believe that my edits fall completely in line with your sourcing rules. While I do respect the fact my blog is not reputable, I am Going to run for senate.Therefore my source is factual and unbiased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by William.C.Stewart (talk • contribs) 03:34, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Please learn how to sign your posts here. Read the detailed information at the links I placed on your user page. They clearly explain how your edits violate Wikipedia's policies, and why a personal blog or Web page cannot be used as a citation. Also, if you persist, either without reading the policies or after reading them, in COI editing I will file a report at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard (COIN), which will generally result in your being blocked from editing. Dwpaul ^Talk 03:43, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Please proceed to report. I am ready to escalate this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by William.C.Stewart (talk • contribs) 03:48, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Question

How to add sources on Satti Page because I don't know how to create them although I know enough sources!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Innocent Historian (talk • contribs) 10:36, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Dvapar Yuga

Hello Dwpaul

I saw your comment and the fact that you have removed my posting . The logic you have used is that my posting is less than neutral. I do not agree. My comment is no less (or more) neutral than what's already on the page,which I repeat below. In fact as you will see later in the comment , the existing information is false. >>>>>>>> The duty of Sudras is to perform tasks that demand highly physical work. Although their form of labour is different from the other three castes, the Sudras are not discriminated against. In fact Vidura, the famous Prime Minister of Hastinapura was born in the Sudra community and attained the status of a Brahmin due to his wisdom, righteousness and learning. All other three sections namely Brahmana, Kshatriya and Vaishya protected Sudras and contributed for their safety and happiness. >>>>>>

Now the facts do NOT bear out that "the Sudras are not discriminated against". In India they were definitely discriminated against historically. In fact they are discriminated against even today, not so much by law as by social custom. The Indian Parliament/ Indian State Legislatures would not have passed laws providing for reservations in employment and education for Scheduled Tribes and Castes had the SC/ ST people not been discriminated against. The passage and implementation of these reservation laws is a complete and comprehensive admission by the Indian Nation state that the Shudras historically suffered discrimination. You can check this with any leading scholar of Indian history or sociology.

So while it may be noncontroversial with the Indian readers / users of Wikipedia (who come mainly from the higher castes) to say that "the Sudras are not discriminated against" it is certainly not the truth... as I said its been acknowledged by the Indian Parliament that there was indeed discrimination. I expect wikipedia to not shy away from the truth even if it is not always convenient.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a forum. Wikipedia articles are not the place for you to offer competing theories about the subject of the article. You are free to offer suggestions to improve the article, including ideas regarding coverage of significantly documented alternative viewpoints (not just your own personal ideas), on the Talk page of the article, and even to edit the article to include these alternative viewpoints (with citations to sources that discuss them). However, your edits must always reflect the neutral point of view, and make clear that the alternative view is just that, an alternative. An edit should never begin "I am not sure of the correctness of this interpretation," because you are speaking with your voice, not in the voice of the encyclopedia. That you began your edit this way was the first clue that it was not encyclopedic (though the remainder did not meet the criteria for NPOV as written). Please familiarize yourself with these and other Wikipedia policies if you wish to contribute to articles. Dwpaul ^Talk 18:04, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

P.S. - You are welcome to begin an entry on the article's Talk page with the statement you made, and, in fact, that would be the appropriate place to do so. You would be initiating a conversation with other interested editors about the topic, with a goal of improving and expanding the article. However — and this is key — the article itself is not the place to initiate a discussion with other editors or readers of the article; that is what the Talk page is for. Dwpaul ^Talk 18:11, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Oops

Sorry about that, got editors mixed up. Flat Out let's discuss it 08:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I understood. That was the intention of the editor who actually made the edit. See their history. Are you an admin (with block)? Dwpaul ^Talk 08:28, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Not an admin unfortunately, they had a pretty long run before being blocked. I have removed all the phony welcome messages that link your name, but they will be back. Flat Out let's discuss it 08:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I was expecting that. Thanks for all your work to try to catch up with him until an admin came along, and appreciate your cleanup effort on his vandalistic attempts to implicate me. Dwpaul ^Talk 09:00, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Benjamin Clementine

Please revert your revertion on Jools Holland or explain how artists appearing on the show are not notable — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyb8 (talk • contribs) 08:02, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Please see WP:notability for Wikipedia's guidelines on notability. In general, such claims must be supported by reliable sources. Just saying that someone appeared on a TV show neither means it is true nor that they are notable. Dwpaul ^Talk 08:09, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I didn't say that he appeared on the show, someone else did. Anyway if this doesn't statisfy you nothing will http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006ml0l — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyb8 (talk • contribs) 08:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, OK, I have reverted my reversion on List of Later... with Jools Holland episodes. But the problem (and the reason I reverted on the Jools page to begin with) is that the article you created on BC doesn't contain enough content/references/anything to explain why the subject is notable and ensure that it will stick around. By every policy of Wikipedia concerning new articles, citation and notability, the page should and will probably be deleted speedily. So the Jools page will probably have a redlink where your article should be. Dwpaul ^Talk 09:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Fixed, but I don't want to spend more time editing the page if it's going to be deleted in an hour Pyb8 (talk) 10:34, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the speedy tag and added a reference to the BBC and a reference to The Guardian. Please do not nominate pages for speedy deletion (unless they are legal problems with them existing such as G10 - attack page or G12 - blatant copyvio) mere minutes after they have been created without doing due diligence yourself for sources. A google search for his name would have led you to these two sources. You may be interested in the historical WP:NEWT project. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:19, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Dwpaul ^Talk 15:46, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

It could be worse - you could have made this edit! ;-) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:15, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Ha! Dwpaul ^Talk 18:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

At least the human who nominated Twitter waited a week. I also came to yell at you for biting the contributor of Benjamin Clementine, but it looks like it's already been done. Please be maximally respectful of others' contributions. -- Y not? 23:39, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

No biting intended. The discussion ultimately had the needed effect of getting a minimal set of citations added to support the notability of the subject and allow the article (at that point two lines with no citations, already being wikilinked by the editor elsewhere) to remain. I'll be a little less hasty in future, yes, but I think things have worked out pretty well, in part because of the original editor's persistence, quick response and willingness to communicate. I understand not everyone will respond this way. Thanks. Dwpaul ^Talk 23:46, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm sure there was no biting intended - I patrol CSDs regularly and the majority are correct. What I need to ensure now is that Pyb8 hasn't been scared off Wikipedia completely, and his comment of "I don't want to spend more time ... if it's going to be deleted in an hour" gives me concern. As it is, the article has passed a Did you know nomination so should be linked off the front page in a couple of days - that might soothe things over. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 18:29, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the follow-up. Dwpaul ^Talk 21:12, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Anil Kapoor

Hey with all due respect we all know Anil Kapoor sir just turned 57 recently. It's all over media and twitter. He even said it on a interview. So why lie sir. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamilahmed2 (talk • contribs) 20:23, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

If it's "all over media" you should be able to supply at least one reliable source (Twitter is not an RS) to document the correct information and explain the change. We do not chnage biographical information on living persons without citations. Dwpaul ^Talk 20:26, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Can you please search "Anil Kapoor birthdate" in Google. Or read his Early life and Career in his wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamilahmed2 (talk • contribs) 20:29, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I found the incorrect information was inserted earlier by another user, and recognize now that you were trying to correct it. Please note that the use of a good edit summary on your edits will greatly help to avoid this kind of misunderstanding, since other editors will understand what you are doing. I've fixed the article. Dwpaul ^Talk 20:33, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

MckNasty

A lot of what is written about him isn't backed so I'm really stunned your just picking on my edit. I clearly stated a fact - he is married to a popstar and has children. Other statements are on his page without any links to "back it up" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesyesyesitsme (talk • contribs) 02:32, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't account for all the other things in the article without proper sources -- this basically falls under WP:OTHERCRAP. But unsourced biographical and family details cannot stay. See WP:BLP. Nothing personal. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:36, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

Mary Pinchot Meyer

You're right, I was wrong to not use an edit summary as people can't read my mind. I apologize for being snarky. Have a happy New Year. 199.15.104.149 (talk) 01:15, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

And me for being too hasty. You too! Dwpaul ^Talk 01:17, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to add an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheRealNeoQueenSerenity (talk • contribs) 04:03, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections

By the way, thank you for bringing to my attention the grammar conventions of Wikipedia! :) I am just new, and I didn't know! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZmanAug (talk • contribs) 04:50, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

That's OK ... the rules here for grammar and formatting are a little different in some respects than conventional English grammar (e.g., punctuation often goes outside the quotes!) -- but there are actually good reasons for them. Enjoy ... Dwpaul ^Talk 04:56, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

deletion is incorrect and i expect you to replace if you Google Terry Gorlick you will find many achievements not listed state of Alaska Board of Architects engineers and Land survey, RJC State of Alaska Chairman, Innovator of Energy saving devices in Alaska as many others, Including bring a 1.5 billion dollar company to Alaska Terrysg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrysg (talk • contribs) 06:35, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Wonderful. It should be quite easy then for you (or actually someone else, as autobiography is strongly discouraged) to prepare an article with plenty of citations of reliable sources that establish your notability per Wikipedia guidelines. Once that is done, the article can be linked to the "Notable alumni" section of another article. Until that time, there is nothing to establish your notability and an added entry in that list will be reverted per the Wikipedia policies already shared with you; repeated attempts to insert it may result in your account being blocked from editing.

HGP Michael Griffin

Holy Ghost Preparatory School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
User:71.185.6.7 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

the school's publicity is not hurting administrators, it is hurting students. alums are promising not to give aid and the result is less scholarships, less financial aid. how is that a good thing? griffin as a devoted teacher, devoted yes, in attempting to harm HGP

If the information has been widely reported, it can and should appear in the article. It certainly shouldn't be redacted just because someone at the school would prefer that it not be publicized. See WP:Notability. Frankly, the potential for negative publicity should have been considered before the school took the action it did. Wikipedia has no responsibility to help the school cover up its mistakes, regardless of who might benefit by its doing so. Dwpaul ^Talk 17:32, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
