Big Scandia River moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Big Scandia River. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and Can not find any evidence this even exists. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Hi, this is Kitsap2010. I live right next to the river, in Scandia, Washington-and it's real name is actually Big Scandia Creek. The reason why I called this a **river** is because it influences our culture greatly, and is a major influence to Scandia, Washington's past. I just feel like the word **creek** makes her seem insignificant and useless, because it is one of the big and raging rivers on the peninsula. Just to inform 'ya. Thanks for notifying me,

Welcome and some pointers

Hi @Kitsap2010. I see you are relatively new to the project and focused on geographical features and municipalities in Kitsap County. (I have family connections to North Kitsap and have spent a great deal of time there, so I am very familiar with these places, by the way.) I appreciate the desire to flesh out the encyclopedic coverage of the county. However, please be sure to add reliable sources for the specific claims you make. Otherwise the statements are liable to being removed. For example:

https://us.geoview.info/big_scandia_creek,90554832w is likely not a reliable source.
https://www.washingtonwaterfronts.com/poulsbo/scandia-homes-for-sale/ -- local realtor sites are not generally considered reliable for historical information.

Also, please be sure not to engage in WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. Above, for instance, you say that you used the name Big Scandia River instead of "Big Scandia Creek", even though the source supports "Creek". Wikipedia can't be a repository for our own ideas; everything needs to be based on reliable sources. If you have a question, feel free to ask at WP:TEAHOUSE, where volunteers are there to help you understand Wikipedia's policies.

Finally, please do not do this, ever. Wikipedia is not for WP:MADEUP content and that kind of thing will be swiftly deleted. (If you persist in doing things like that, you'll be blocked from editing, so please just focus on what's real and verifiable.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:46, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I'm also from North Kitsap myself. Thank you for letting me know. Kitsap2010 (talk) 19:50, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Republic of Scandia

Please do not introduce inappropriate pages, such as Republic of Scandia, to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been deleted. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. If you are interested to know how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements already in Wikipedia – and, if possible, correct them. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with sanctions, which could include a block from editing. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:53, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock Request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Kitsap2010 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I believe I should be unblocked because I did absoulutely nothing wrong. I was copying text from the Molossia page (to make a new page for MY micronation) which is named the Republic of Scandia. I stated multiple times that I am the prime minister of the Republic of Scandia, and that the page was created by the official government of the micronation itself-me. Do you really think only a week after our declaration of independence there's going to be oh so-"reliable" sources that I can use? No. Do I want to share my name? No. I want to keep things private incase something actually happens, because of online shenanigans that people are usually up to, they could hack my account or ruin my life by impersonating me with my own name. Please understand this, and I am sorry in advance. Thank you.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you:
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
