User talk:ArthurRead1234

Welcome!

Hello, ArthurRead1234, 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 is an unreferenced biography of a living person. The Wikipedia community has decided that all biographies of living persons (BLPs) created after 18 March 2010 must have reliable sources, or they can be deleted.

This is not a judgement of the quality or notability of your article. If someone has put a {{prod blp}} template on the article (click this link to see what it looks like), you have ten days to add at least one reliable source to the article. Once you have added at least one reliable source to the article, you can remove the template. (To learn more about what is a reliable source, read Wikipedia:Reliable sources, and to learn how to cite sources, read Wikipedia:Citing sources. Or if you want an easier newcomer's look at citing sources, read Help:External links and references first.)

Going over some of the pages below will help you get a sense of Wikipedia, and knowing about Wikipedia's most important policies will help keep you out of trouble here (click [show] to see the links):

Getting started:

Wikipedia:Introduction – a great first look at Wikipedia
Wikipedia:Wiki markup – talks about how to make bold and italic text and links
Wikipedia:Tutorial – a tutorial on all things Wikipedia
Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual – a handy guide to Wikipedia

Important policies:

Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons – Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons
Wikipedia:Reliable sources – Wikipedia's policy on what sources to use
Wikipedia:NPOV – Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view policy for articles
Wikipedia:Notability – talks about how to determine whether or not a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia
Wikipedia:3RR – Wikipedia's three-revert rule, which says you shouldn't revert a single page more than 3 times in 24 hours
Wikipedia:Deletion policy and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion – two pages that talk about reasons for deleting an article. The second page talks about special reasons that allow pages to be deleted quickly and without discussion (attack pages, copyright violations, etc.)

Asking questions:

Wikipedia:Questions – tells you where to ask questions
* Wikipedia:New contributors' help page – this is a great place to ask for help when you're new to Wikipedia
* Wikipedia:Help desk – a place to ask Wikipedia-related questions
* Wikipedia:Reference desk – a place to ask general-knowledge questions
* {{Help me}} – placing {{Help me}} on your talk page followed by a request will alert editors that you need help.
* If you know what IRC is and how to use it, take a look at Wikipedia:IRC to find out how to get help on Wikipedia's IRC channels.

Article writing and editing:

Wikipedia:Starting an article
Wikipedia:Your first article – has tips and ticks for making your first article great
Wikipedia:How to write a great article
Wikipedia:Simplified Manual of Style – guidelines on writing style, what date formats to use, article layout, you name it
Wikipedia:WikiProjects – describes different WikiProjects (projects that focus on article writing or maintenance for a specific topic)
Wikipedia:Vandalism – what vandalism is and how to revert it

Proposed deletion of Jane U'Brien

Hello, ArthurRead1234. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Jane U'Brien, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Jane U'Brien to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Vanjagenije (talk) 19:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

December 2013

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User:Dl2000 may be offensive or unwelcome. In general, it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to Wikipedia:User page for more information on User page etiquette. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 01:07, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm GeorgeBarnick. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to The Shapies, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. George Barnick – Talk/Contribs 23:59, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at The Shapies, you may be blocked from editing. Mild Bill Hiccup (talk) 12:50, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:22, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Shapies, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Chris Anderson and Alex Thompson (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. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The Shapies hoax

Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. Usually, hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at The Shapies. (repeated vandalism) Mild Bill Hiccup (talk) 18:46, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted further vandalism at the page Bob Oblong. This is NOT the same character as in The Shapies. This Vandalism was performed after your above warning. You may be banned without further warning. If you require help please request it at the appropriate forum. MartinSFSA (talk) 10:40, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ArthurRead1234, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Speedy deletion nomination of (Fan fiction of The Shapes)

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 (Fan fiction of The Shapes) 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:27, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page deletion

I deleted the page, (Fan fiction of The Shapes), because the content was nonsensical. If you need time to improve the page, recommend that you create the page in your sandbox, and then move it over to the mainspace when the article is ready. And please pay attention to article naming conventions. It is unlikely that the Article Name should be in parentheses. Jinian (talk) 21:22, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at Infobox that will help you edit the article. We also have a number of other information about Wikipedia:Your first article. After you review these, let me know if you still have questions. Jinian (talk) 23:37, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Famfiction of the Shapies

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 Famfiction of the Shapies 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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.
