Deletion warning

Proposed deletion of Boris kroll

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Boris kroll, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Prod Notice

Hello Barrympls!

I recently tagged an article you created, Paul McCobb for the proposed deletion process. The article itself does not seem to cover information that would make the article pass the Notability guideline. Also, since no sources are added i cannot check this myself.

If you have any questions about this, or would like some assistance with this article, do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards, Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 11:28, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Berlee Records

A tag has been placed on Berlee Records 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Beano (talk) 08:42, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Berlee records

Hi Barry, thanks for your contributions. Do you think you could fill out a Template:cite book citation template for your source (Brian Young's book)? As this will make the referencing clear; see WP:Cite for more advice on this. Thanks! Marasmusine (talk) 14:22, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Berlee Records

I have nominated Berlee Records, 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/Berlee Records. 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. JD554 (talk) 20:28, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gene kardos

A tag has been placed on Gene kardos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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), 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.

Point of view

Please do not edit in your own personal viewpoints, such as "released with great fanfare" into articles (ie. The Dave Clark Five). You need to understand Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability guidelines more fully. Statements such as "Clark, who controlled the DC5 recordings, would not licence any of their hits" needs a reference, otherwise it unduly opinionates the article. Thanks,

June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article S.F. Sorrow, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cat-five - talk 21:31, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

September 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Paul Whiteman. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 14:24, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adding unreferenced entries of former employees to lists containing BLP material

Hello Barrympls, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles as you did in WCCO-TV. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:

WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information." As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.
As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced.
WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article.
Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.

If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable. Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 13:29, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Randi Kaye

The article Randi Kaye has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Deconstructhis (talk) 19:25, 10 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problems with Randi Kaye

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Randi Kaye, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/kaye.randi.html. As a copyright violation, Randi Kaye appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Randi Kaye has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Randi Kaye and send an email with the message to permissions-enwikimedia.org. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that it is licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, leave a note at Talk:Randi Kaye with a link to where we can find that note.
If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Randi Kaye.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. While contributions are appreciated, Wikipedia must require all contributors to understand and comply with its copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Deconstructhis (talk) 22:30, 17 May 2011 (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. SummerPhD (talk) 16:28, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Just a pointer

Hey,

I noticed that on Keith Relf you put that it's a complete re-edit of the song in parentheses. I just wanted to tell you in case you didn't know that you're allowed to change the place where it says the UK & US albums are the same to say that isn't true- there's no reason to use parentheses. Obviously a source is appreciated, but I mean, this encyclopedia's based off of good faith.

Have a good one & thanks for the edit, -Kangaroopowah 03:22, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Rose Marie, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you!

Disambiguation link notification for March 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wise Girl (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Finlayson. 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.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to Cressida (band) does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Eric ^talk 12:15, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

Hello, thanks for your edit to Benny Goodman ... but it's completely useless because you didn't provide the year of the book or the page number. I'm concerned that, after over eleven years of editing, you still haven't grasped the very fundamentals of editing here (see Help:Referencing for beginners]) Also, User:Barrympls/sandbox shows that you really don't understand talk pages, and you haven't engaged with any of the messages on this page. I've therefore blocked you for a month; while you're blocked, you can read over how to do things on Wikipedia properly. Graham87 03:19, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Carl Hulse, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John King (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
