The Three Stooges

[edit]

Hi BigMan43. Thanks for creating the article The Three Stooges. Although a lot information you wrote was correct, you did not add any reliable sources for verification. I have verified the claims made and sourced the article. Please read W:RS and W:V. You may also want to check over the film's manual of style at WP:MOSFILM. If you have any questions feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy edits. :-) —Mike Allen 02:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Untitled Third Daughtry Album for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Untitled Third Daughtry Album is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Untitled Third Daughtry Album until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Aspects (talk) 23:14, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Untitled (Daughtry album) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Speculative future album, Wikipedia:TenPoundHammer's Law, WP:CRYSTAL, etc

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. tedder (talk) 23:54, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Untitled (Daughtry album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Daughtry-breakthespell.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Daughtry-breakthespell.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

The article Mladen Grdovic has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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.

Johnny Two Strokes and the Reacharounds

[edit]

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

Thank you.

The article Johnny Two Strokes and the Reacharounds has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Citing reliable sources

[edit]

Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding questionable content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Nirvana (band), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. See the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia constructively. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ChakaKongtalk 21:59, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Device album article

[edit]

Hello. I redirected, and will likely delete, the article you created at Device (Device album). That naming convention doesn't work, because there is already a Device (album) article for a different band. Additionally, another User has already created an article for the article you tried to create anyways, it's at Device (2013 album). (It's currently a redirect because there's no track list yet and all it did was produce duplicate information from the band article.

Anyways, if you wish to discuss further, please start up a discussion at the band's article, Device (heavy metal band). Sergecross73 msg me 17:22, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Vilify (song) 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 band or musician, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that your 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, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:04, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:1215831 album.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

Hello, BigMan43. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Device (2013 album), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Lukeno94 (talk) 11:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for finding/using better sources

[edit]

As I suggested in one of my edit summaries, you may want to take a look at WP:ALBUM/REVSITE - it's a list of sources commonly viewed as acceptable in the review box for albums. Device looks to be a relatively high profile release, so I imagine it will getting reviews in these types of sources. It may be better to wait for some of these, rather than continually re-adding these questionable review sites that people (myself included) keep on removing. Thanks!

A tag has been placed on File:Savages.jpg, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • The image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. (See section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
  • The image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. (See section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

File permission problem with File:Greatest Hits artwork.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Greatest Hits artwork.jpg, which you've attributed to http://beatcog.com/daughtry-its-not-over-the-hits-so-far/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Poison the Parish

[edit]

Information icon Hi. Some of your recent genre changes, in particular, your edit to Poison the Parish, have conflicted with our neutral point of view and verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. Thank you. Daerl (talk) 00:35, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to change genres without discussion or sources, as you did at Evolve (Imagine Dragons album), you may be blocked from editing. Ss112 18:39, 24 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

NBA trades/signings

[edit]

The reason these aren't updated until reported by the teams is that the League has to review them and sometimes they don't happen (the league rejects them, somebody fails a physical, etc). Please don't update player articles until the deal is finalized (i.e. - reported by the team(s) involved). The news' job is to report signings as they happen to get the scoop. This isn't a news site, it's an encyclopedia so having these updated immediately is less important than updating them when the results are official.

Orphaned non-free image File:Year of the Tiger.jpg

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Year of the Tiger.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cage to Rattle, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Brian Kennedy (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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nickelback vandalism

What is the meaning of these edits? Sergecross73 msg me 03:40, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And here is you adding an unsourced genre. You’ve been editing Wikipedia for years now - you should know better than to be making these types of edits. If you refuse to stop making these sorts of edits, and refuse to offer any sort of valid defense or explanation, your account is going to end up being blocked.

I reverted your edits as the majority of the Nets deals have not been completed/approved/announced.

[edit]

Hello, I'm Sabbatino. Your recent edit to the page 2020–21 Brooklyn Nets season appears to have added premature information about a reported sports transaction, so it has been removed for now.
