thanks, btw for the Dale Pendell article. Glad it wasn't deleted; i didn't even know it existed until today. It's been on my "articles i need to write" list for some time, but that list only exists in my head so doesn't remain very stable, and i don't work on it much anyways . . . --Heah ^talk 22:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: 2011 United Nations Climate change Conference. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:05, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Bryan Cogman

The article Bryan Cogman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

His writing roles are relatively minor and do not show notability per WP:CREATIVE.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disambiguation link notification for April 29

Hi. When you recently edited Bryan Cogman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Game of Thrones (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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Grammy Award, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gramophone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Orson Scott Card

Hi, I happened across the edits you made to this article, and they seem to violate Wikipedia's policy on the Biographies of Living Persons. Calling someone an outspoken homophobe and bigot in the Lead sentence is inappropriate for Wikipedia. ~Adjwilley (talk) 20:29, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I don't see anything in the policy that my edit violates. OSC's homophobia and anti-gay bigotry is one of his principal characteristics, and is responsible for much of his continued notability. Care to point me to some language that specifies what I've violated?

I'm reinstating my edit.Ashwinr (talk) 20:49, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The same question came up in September of 2011, and the consensus then was what Adjwilley has stated. Millernumber1 (talk) 15:42, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well let's have the discussion again then. If him being a "columnist" is notable and verifiable, then him being an outspoken homophobe is too. That's one of the main things he's known for now, and deserves to be in the first sentence of his biography. None of you can apparently cite any language in the BLP that my edit actually violates, you merely assert that it violates it.Ashwinr (talk) 09:00, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you're looking for something in the BLP policy that says "you can't call someone a homophobe" you won't find it. The policy itself, however, is written to prevent that kind of unattributed name calling. Yes, there are sources calling him a homophobe, but there is no consensus in the sources, and the ones I've seen calling him that generally aren't the best sources in terms of POV. For us to call somebody homophobic in Wikipedia's voice in the first sentence of the Lead, there would have to be almost unanimous consensus in the sources to the point of it not being controversial at all. Even then, we would probably still use a more encyclopedic term like "anti-gay" or something.

As for the laundry list of hats in the 1st sentence, I'm all for dropping it. He's most notable as being the author of the Enders' game series. Columnist, teacher, critic, activist, Sox fan, and whatnot are all secondary. ~Adjwilley (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you are logging out to make edits like this and this, I suggest you stop. (If the logging out was accidental I suggest you be more careful.) It makes people nervous when an IP with very few contributions shows up in the middle of an edit war to revert in your favor. I'm not asking you to confirm or deny whether it is you, just asking that if it is you, to stop or be more careful. The relevant policy is here if you're interested. ~Adjwilley (talk) 04:43, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Wikipedia again, as you did at Brett Kavanaugh, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Bbb23 (talk) 20:25, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. It's no fun responding to angry readers writing into Wikipedia explaining that they don't intend to contribute to this project because we permit language such as that. Even though it only lasted three minutes, it brought disrepute to this project.--S Philbrick (Talk) 23:44, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
