January 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to John Masouri, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Your addition to John Masouri has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Your edit was cut and pasted from this page. This is not permitted! RolandR (talk) 23:28, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Helpsome (talk) 23:00, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2015

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Lee (English surname). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JSpung (talk) 14:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Marx (surname). JSpung (talk) 15:03, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit to Lee (English surname)

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Epic Genius (talk) 15:39, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

February 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for edit warring for the purposes of repeatedly inserting unsourced original research into articles. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Kinu ^t/_c 18:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, "Please discuss on talk page to explain the reasoning and gain consensus". WP:BRD applies to you too. Jeppiz (talk) 13:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yet more original research in the last 3 weeks

At Uhuru and Garden of Eden. I'm at a loss to understand why you are doing this given the warnings and block above. Doug Weller talk 14:45, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above warning is a formality. I'm requesting a longer block. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistently adding unsourced speculation and personal commentary into articles, and edit-warring in order to do so. Considering that you have been warned a number of times about unsourced material, the first times more than a year ago, and considering that you have returned to this kind of disruptive editing shortly after being briefly blocked for the same thing, a week's block is moderate. If you continue in the same way after this block ends, you may well be blocked for much longer. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Proposed deletion of Malopoets

Hello, James MacBryde,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Nsk92 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Malopoets, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion.The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click Publish Changes button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Nsk92}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Malopoets

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 Malopoets 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 that does not credibly 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 "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 deleted 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. —C.Fred (talk) 20:36, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
