Speedy deletion nomination of User:Cranberry Products/TWA/Earth
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8b/Stop_hand.svg/48px-Stop_hand.svg.png)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that User:Cranberry Products/TWA/Earth, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. 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:
- It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
- It is an "attack page", and appears to be primarily intended to disparage or threaten its subject. This includes biographies of living people that are unsourced and entirely negative in tone. (See section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks; attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
- It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
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.

- The page that you flagged was just part of WP:TWA. It's obviously not vandalism or an attack page, and since it was generated from an official Wikipedia tool for assisting new users, I doubt it violates the third bullet point either. I suppose you could delete it if you really wanted to, since I'm done with the game, but it's ultimately a harmless page. Cranberry Products (talk) 19:09, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
Kabaty Woods
[edit]Thank you, Cranberry Products! I didn't know how to efficiently move the article's title to "Kabaty Woods". I wish that, in such situations, others would take a similar helpful initiative. Nihil novi (talk) 07:22, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
- You're welcome! All I did was copy and paste all the content and put a redirect on the old page, which is admittedly a bit inefficient but always works even when moving the page doesn't. Cranberry Products (talk) 17:48, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Rochester and Strood by-election, 2014
[edit]Hello Cranberry Products
It is good to see your recent interest in this article. Insofar as I have made useful amendments to this article, for some reason I have met with resistance for having provided a succinct description of the constituency's layout (in four or five additional words.. which keep getting deleted). Is there an otherwise unknown agenda which should prevent providing a topographical description of Rochester and Strood? Whilst this is hardly worthy of a big battle, why shouldn't the wider world be appraised of this electoral area's constituent parts?
Mabelina Mabelina (talk) 01:30, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hello Mabelina,
- I highly doubt there's such an agenda here (if there is, I'm certainly not aware of it). Looking back at your edits to the article, it seems your particular style of writing is that which makes reading a Wikipedia page a little like reading a novel, whereas others prefer brevity in descriptions. While I personally think your edits were innocuous enough, those firmly on the side of conciseness will argue that the location of Cooling, Halling and Hoo is information that, while obviously related to the constituency, does not explicitly deal with the actual by-election and should be left off the page. Arguments can be made either way, and this seems like more of a personal preference issue than anything else; as you said, it's probably best not to get too worked up over it.
- Hope I could help, Cranberry Products (talk) 02:30, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Shad Al-Sherif Pasha article
[edit]The article Shad Al-Sherif Pasha, which you have contributed to, is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Some reasons that make the article unsuitable are on its Talk page. See, and if desired contribute to, deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shad Al-Sherif Pasha.

Vandalism reverts
[edit]Bonjour! Thanks for reverting the vandalism edits of User:Cab driver Champion... I've left warnings on his talk page. I'd recommend you do that as well after reverting vandalism. Sometimes a warning is enough to make a user stop causing trouble, when they know that someone else is watching them. Merci! --Drm310 (talk) 04:45, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- I will, thanks for the heads-up! I hadn't whitelisted Wikipedia for my pop-up blocker, which was messing with Twinkle functionality; that problem should hopefully be gone now. Cranberry Products (talk) 04:54, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
Janusz Korwin-Mikke
[edit]Hi, I undid that IP editor because his/her edits were much below the Wikipedia standard. Please see ALL the changes that the IP tried to introduce, including that they added "death place" to the infobox: [1]. Regards, kashmiri TALK 16:25, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm very aware of the changes that they were trying to introduce, as the page for Janusz Korwin-Mikke is on my watchlist. Even so, it would have been better to simply remove the death date and death place and clean up the added reference rather than just delete everything. Remember to follow WP:DONTBITE and WP:IPHUMAN, and note that this page in particular is obviously going to be edited by people who are not native English speakers and some edits may require cleanup. If you see a new edit that is clearly true, but is much below the Wikipedia standard, you can help by bringing it up to standard yourself as opposed to reverting it, which accomplishes nothing (and hurts the encyclopedia by removing unambiguously true content). And if you can't make it better yourself (e.g. because something requires translation and you can't speak Polish), you can always find someone on Wikipedia who can. Cranberry Products (talk) 16:50, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I am sorry but Korwin-Mikke is still member of the same party; he's no longer its leader (since early January 2015) but the infobox entry is only about membership. IP's edit was plainly wrong. kashmiri TALK 17:03, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- It's possible to remove parts of an edit that are wrong while keeping the parts that are correct, you know. Cranberry Products (talk) 17:18, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
- Sure. Same to you. kashmiri TALK 23:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

"Black rectangle"
[edit]Hello Cranberry Products,
first of all thank you very much for providing these nice SVG images about the regional election in Saxony-Anhalt! I have noticed that you had some problems with an unintended black rectangle in the image preview. This is a known issue in Inkscape, the so-called "flowed text bug" (see here: Black rectangle (Flowed Text bug). I have removed the rectangles with a text editor.
Greetings --Furfur ⁂ Diskussion 09:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- Duly noted. Thank you so much for pointing that out! Cranberry Products (talk) 15:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
