User talk:Alex latham

Welcome!

Hello, Alex latham, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Alex Nicholson, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Sorry for all the warnings

Hi,

I've removed a bunch of templates that were added by users who saw your first contributions. (Thanks, by the way.) When a new article is added to Wikipedia, especially an article on a living person, our contributors often "shoot first and ask questions later" regarding whether it's suitable or not. Typically, for football players, we don't include articles unless the player has taken part in at least one competitive first-team game. As such, it may be that some of the articles you've worked on might get deleted. If those players then go on to play a game, then it's easy for Wikipedia's administrators to restore the article so that your work isn't wasted. If you've got any questions as to what is and isn't suitable or anything else about Wikipedia then feel free to either reply here or leave me a message on my talk page by clicking here. Cheers!

Articles on Newcastle Players

Hi Alex,

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and this means we have limits to what we want to include. People listed on Wikipedia should have some form of notability and for footballers this means that, unless they are particularly notable for some other reason, they should have made a competitive appearance for a professional team. We don't include reserve players or youth internationals. This is a very established rule to keep the number of articles down, because a high number of 'hot prospects' never actually make it.

Please do not recreate articles when they have been deleted, unless information about the topic has changed. And please do not insert false information - Ole Soderberg, for example, has never played for Newcastle and it is easy to check this. Further edits inserting false information will be considered disruptive and will result in blocks from editing in Wikipedia. Where you do this, articles will be deleted form Wikipedia

Please continue your useful edits to Wikipedia, as we want contributors who are willing to be constructive. Finally, please avoid marking all edits as minor and please include edit summareis. --Pretty Green (talk) 10:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, any biography you do create MUST contain references from reliable sources, generally independent of the source. Simply adding a pointer to their youth profile at nufc.co.uk does nothing to assert notability, nor do mentions in blogs and fansites. Basically, if you can't add independent mainstream sources it is highly likely to fail notability criteria. Obviously you believe it is likely they may meet criteria this coming season by making a fisrt team appearance, at which point they may be easily re-created as previously noted, but any of the pages you have created to date that you wish to develop further to ensure they meet criteria may be userfied on request. Cheers.--ClubOranje^T 11:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Pretty Green (talk) 23:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting Deletion Tags

Hi. You have been advised before, but another editor has unfortunately removed those notices so I will give you the benefit of the doubt and restate them here for you. You are NOT ALLOWED to delete WP:AfD AfD notices from articles such as you did with this edit to Daniel Leadbitter. The AfD notice clearly states that. Additionally, you are NOT ALLOWED to delete CSD notices on articles you have created. You should be aware that every action and edit on Wikipedia is recorded and a full history kept. It would be advisable to not develop a bad edit history if you think you may enjoy further participation in Wikipedia. Please take the time to read some of the helpful hints provided with the welcome message at the top of this page. Cheers. --ClubOranje^T 07:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Alex latham. You have new messages at Alexander latham's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Articles on Wolves Players

Your persistence will shortly earn you an edit block. The criteria for Wolverhampton players is the same as Newcastle players. Players must have verifiably played in a professional match or represented their country at senior international level. Simply adding 1 appearance to their infobox and adding a bodgy reference does not make it so. If you continue to add false information to articles such as John Dunleavy and James Spray you will be blocked form editing. Neither of those players are listed in the team lists of the games you claim they played in. Consider this to be a final warning.--ClubOranje^T 10:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of James Spray

The article James Spray has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

youth footballer, never made 1st team appearance, fails WP:ATHLETE, only general sports journalism, no independent in depth coverage, no international appearance

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ClubOranje^T 20:28, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kyle Bennett (footballer)

A tag has been placed on Kyle Bennett (footballer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Oliver Lee (footballer)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Articles for deletion nomination of James Spray

I have nominated James Spray, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Spray. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ClubOranje^T 14:15, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Martial BACQUET (talk) 06:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some concerns...

Hi!

There has been some concern expressed about your editing. Specifically, you've been reported at WP:AIV which is a venue primarily for dealing with vandalism. I do appreciate that you are not deliberately vandalising Wikipedia; however, we all need to follow basic ground rules when editing, and some of your edits appear to deviate from this.

Specifically, you've created a number of articles containing information which is incorrect. At least one of these articles has been deleted. When you create articles it in turn creates work for other editors - they need to check for accuracy, and if necessary request that articles be deleted (and yet more editors, in turn, then need to delete those articles).

There are a few points to remember which will keep you right:

Always provide references from reliable sources (football club websites are good for this, as are newspaper and TV news websites). This enables readers to verify any claims made.
Consider creating new articles in your "user space", for example at User:Alex latham/New article (click on the red link, click on "Start the User:Alex latham/New article page", and then create the article). That way you'll be able to work on the article without risk of it being deleted because "it's not yet ready".
If other editors raise concerns with you — talk to them! Most editors will be quite happy to chat with someone who asks them questions. If an editor tells you an article you created has "notability concerns" — ask them what those concerns are. Likewise, if an editor complains about one edit — ask them what was wrong with your edit.

I hope this makes sense. If not, do please ask me anything.

Happy editing! TFOWR 09:04, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I endorse what TFOWR has said. It has been said that you are creating articles on reserve team players. I believe that such players do not meet the notability threshold to have an article (I believe that they have to play at least 1 match in the full team, not the reserves). However, such players have the potential to achieve notability in the future. One approach to this is to create accurate articles on each player in a subpage of your user space, writing them as though they were ordinary wikipedia articles, and polishing them up so that once the player reaches the notablility threshold the article can be moved to the correct title in mainspace.

Discussion about you at WP:ANI

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding your persistence in creating pages with deliberate factual errors. The thread is User:Alex latham. Thank you.. Please feel free to visit the above thread and offer your view on the matter. --ClubOranje^T 09:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Stifle (talk) 10:15, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Warning

If you continue to create articles that do not comply with Wikipedia's notability requirements for athletes, I will block you until you can demonstrate that you have read and understand Wikipedia's notability policies, and will not create further unnecessary work for other editors.
