Extralife radio

A tag has been placed on Extralife radio, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Extralife radio. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 08:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Invitation to comment

Hi Johnsemlak. I am Cargoking and you probably have seen me around ITN. I have identified you as an ITN regular, so I thought I would inform you of a discussion opened on 5 December 2009. MSGJ suggested on Arsonal's (who's fairly new to ITN) talk page, that ITN suggestions made on the candidate's page would be put on separate pages, such as Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates/2009-12-05. The past seven days of discussion would be automatically transcluded. "This would avoid the need for archiving and it would also leave the history of the page intact. It might also make it easier to create new days because we can use preload templates, etc." The only disadvantage to this proposal would be that each new comment would not show up on people's watchlists. You are invited to take part in discussion here. Thanks,  Cargoking  talk  17:39, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: ITN comment

Nope - I was able to access the main page as well as most articles on Wikipedia for the several week span when I was there. I have never seen the main page blocked but it likely has several times by now due to posting of entries and images that could be deemed 'sensitive'. Some individual articles were blocked as expected but several articles at the time (2009) were surprisingly unblocked. ~AH1^(TCU) 00:40, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of 2010 Barack Obama visit to India

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 2010 Barack Obama visit to India, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," 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 the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mtking (talk) 08:49, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of 2010 Barack Obama visit to India for deletion

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. Mtking (talk) 12:24, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Frank Dikötter

The article Frank Dikötter has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable 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 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. Eeekster (talk) 03:17, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Russia vs Ukraine (1999)

The article Russia vs Ukraine (1999) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable match, no citations of notability, fails WP:EVENT.

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.

Deviation from the source

Now, please explain exactly why you make changes that deviate from the source. Sources should be respected, not changed by editors at will. So you need to conform to what the sources say. If you keep deviating from sources, in the end you will get blocked. It will take a few discussions, but you already know that the deviation train goes to blockland.

WP:3RR Notice

In this edit you have either crossed WP:3RR or are just about to. I did not count that carefully. But you are clearly due for a block if you perform another revert, so please read WP:3RR and note that it is a "bright line rule" which always results in a block, once you have been informed of it. The issue is being discussed, you must stop reverting, or be blocked. History2007 (talk) 21:01, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Ways to improve Addisleigh Park

Hi, I'm Rosscoolguy. Johnsemlak, thanks for creating Addisleigh Park!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Good work making an article. Please add some more references and expand the article.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Unsourced claim

Just checking, did you look for sources for the claim/have reason to believe it was false, or did you just remove it because it was unsourced? (Trying to decide whether to look for a source or not) Ryan Vesey 16:03, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

• I did make a simple quick google search to try to find a source and failed; I felt at that point that it was better to remove the claim. I don't find it a particularly notable event anyway--I'm not sure it needs to be in the article at all. But that's my opinion.--Johnsemlak (talk) 16:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
