Hello, RichardBond. Your recent edit to the Episcopal Divinity School Wikipedia page lacks a citation. Please provide a citation for your claim "As of March 31st 2023 the Episcopal Divinity School still owns a former annex at 7 and 9 Phillips Street in Cambridge."

It is on the Middlesex County Registry of Deeds website. I saw that the property is listed on the Loopnet Commercial Real Estate Multiple Listing website currently. I then looked it up but did not know how to provide a reference link. RichardBond (talk) 02:27, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Hiram Burnett, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from {{{url}}}. As a copyright violation, Hiram Burnett appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Hiram Burnett has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.
If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Hiram Burnett and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Hiram Burnett with a link to where we can find that note.

A tag has been placed on Charles Hiram Burnett Sr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

A tag has been placed on Daniel Kelleher requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Hi Richard
I have removed the copyright tags from the article Erasmus M. Smithers because there is a credible claim that the text is from the public domain as you said. However, please take the time to fundamentally rewrite it and expand it. It is currently not suitable in tone etc for WP, which is not surprising since it was written in 1903 when the guy was still alive. I hope you will be able to get it up to snuff soon! Welcome.

Hi Richard
The article Corliss P. Stone was deleted because it was an exact copy of text found elsewhere on the web, and so posting it was in violation of copyright law. If you are sure that this person is notable and you wish to write about him in you own words please feel free to recreate the article. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of style to see what a Wikipedia article should look like. (If you wish to reply to me you can do so here - I will see any edits you make here). DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have copied two entries on the talk page of the above article to here. Since the article is deleted the talk page will be too, and you may wish to have a record of what was said. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The age of the book this text is from puts the text in the public domain. I also intend to add info from other sources. (contributed by User:RichardBond)
Thanks for your willingness to contribute to Wikipedia. It's true that an old book is probably in the public domain. However there are other reasons why the original article is inappropriate. It is written in the style of a memoir and not an encyclopedia article: it does not conform to the Wikipedia:Manual of style; and it will need very heavy editing to bring it to Wikipedia standards. I strongly recommend that you rewrite the information there in your own words in in a form appropriate for an encyclopedia. However if you insist on reposting the material it will probably not be deleted again, as long as you include a statement that it is in the public domain.
Incidentally there are no 'supervisors' on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is written by a community of volunteers. The policies represent the consensus of the Wikipedia community. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I take that warning back as I see now that your recent page is a) not a test page and b) not a copyvio. Sorry for the final warning. Keep up the article writing and just ignore my warning. My apologies again, Cunard (talk) 02:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Before anyone blocks you, could provide a link showing how the source for all this is in the public domain? If so, you need to appeal at WP:DRV rather than recreating these. Cheers, Dlohcierekim02:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I start with public domain material then change the text as I get more information from other sources. Also I have not removed stylistic changes or additional information posted by others here to the articles I started. I welcome doing future collaboration with historians and resent people who delete robotically without having regard for sharing the history involved.

I assume this is about Howard Cranston Potter. 7 people have thought the article should be speedily deleted because it did not assert WHY he was notable. 4 of them tagged it for speedy deletion, the other 3 (including me, most recently) pressed the button to delete it. Instead of blaming others, perhaps improve what you're writing, rather than simply reposting it time after time without addressing the fundamental problem that was leading to it being deleted time after time. Being someone's father-in-law isn't a sufficient assertion of notability, and there's preciously little else in the article about anything apart from his relatives.
If you disagree that the deletions were right, you have two options: (1) write a better article and avoid the problem that way; (2) go to WP:DRV.
As for the articles that I write, they are all to be found in existing biographical dictionaries such as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography or the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, and are all properly sourced and referenced. I don't accept the comparison, or the charge of favouritism/bias.

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:29, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Despite your personal attacks on me, I have reviewed the policies on these matters, and the source you cite. I have concluded that the source is public domain, that the individual's notability is asserted, and so I have restored the article. If anyone gives you any trouble about this article in terms of copyright violation, please drop a line to my talkpage and I will handle it for you. I have tagged it for cleanup to attract new editors to make it more of an encyclopedic article. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 22:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No problem - I'll gloss over the personal stuff on the grounds of frustration with a load of admins who didn't seem to be listening. Good luck with the article Fritzpoll (talk) 22:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Despite initial difficulty from an "edit cowboy" James Pieronnet Pierce a codeveloper of the Empire mine one of the largest in California was eventually accepted. It was up for months and I only just now found out about it being deleted by another "edit cowboy" when I tried to post the profile of James ben Ali Haggin the developer of one of the largest mines in Nevada.
Please stop recreating the talkpage of Richard Marshall Bond - the article has been deleted, and there should be no talk page for a deleted or non-existent article.

Well, mostly because it isn't my concern, and it is in the wrong place. How about bringing your concerns to the attention of the administrator who actually deleted your page, rather than picking on me for performing a standard housekeeping task that the deleting administrator forgot to do? I have nothing to do with your article being deleted. Fritzpoll (talk) 16:24, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll echo this, Richard. If you want to talk about why your article was deleted, my talk page is open. I don't think I can add anything to what Fritzpoll has already said, but I'll be happy to do my best (once I get some sleep, of course). --jonny-mt16:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Despite initial difficulty with an "edit cowboy" James Pieronnet Pierce a codeveloper of the largest mine in California was eventually accepted and was up for months. Now another "edit cowboy" deleted it which I found only out when I tried to add the profile of some of the largest mines in the history of Nevada James ben Ali Haggin. Both of these articles are so old as to be in the public domain under United States law.

The website you copied from asserts that they own the copyright to what you copied. You may disagree with them, but we only have your word for it that the original is out of copyright. They say the original was only 'a source', not that they copied it. Wikipedia is not about to get involved in a copyright dispute. Since the article you copied is highly inappropriate for an encyclopedia may I strongly suggest you write an article about James ben Ali Haggin in your own words, using that website as a source, but not copying it. (Incidentally, you can reply on this page - I will see it) DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:17, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I actually did not edit anything, nor add or subtract from. I just recall retyping it exactly as I found it. Just retyped and posted the original text. As I also found it on the web and with the Source. About 8 years ago tho. Then did add 2 photographs I found elsewhere. I also can't even remember where I did find the article. While I've seen many since, this was and still is the best (to me anyway).

BEFORE YOU GO DESTROYING OTHER PEOPLES PAGES FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH AMERICAN COPYRIGHT LAW AND READ BOTH THE RELEVANT DISCUSSION AND TALK PAGES. WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK IF THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN OR EDITED BY THE OWNER OF HAGGIN.ORG I DID. LINDA HAGGIN PECK'S RESPONSE WAS TO PLEASE PUT IT UP. SINCE THEN A BUNCH OF LAZY INCOMPETENT "EDIT COWBOYS" DELETED IT REPEATEDLY DESPITE REMINDERS REGARDING THE DIFERENCE BETWEEN BRITISH AND AMERICAN COPYRIGHT LAW. IF YOU CAN NOT BE BOTHERED TO RESPECT THE LEGAL DIFFERENCE THEN RECUSE YOURSELF. WHAT DO YOU PLAN ON DOING NEXT? DELETE ARTICLES ON RUBBER TIRES FOR MISSPELLING?
Please be civil, and don't use all caps. We are explaining Wikipedia policies to you, not making things up. Let us explain a few more.
First we can't just take your word for what was said by the copyright owner. It's not that we think you are lying, we just have to be sure for legal reasons. Wikipedia could be prosecuted if we violate copyright law, which is why we are so strict about it. What you need to do is to get the website owner to put a notice on the website saying that the text is in the public domain (this shouldn't be a problem if it is actually a copy of an old document). Alternatively you could tell us how to get in touch with the copyright owner herself. Then we can verify things for ourselves. This would have to be through an email that would clearly identify her as being associated with the website.
Can I also remind you that a person has to be notable to get an article on Wikipedia. It is not clear that James ben Ali Haggin is notable. From reading the website he seems to have been a rich farmer, only significant because of his house. It would be helpful to have a brief summary of his achievements. DJ Clayworth (talk) 14:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DJ Only someone who likes making arbitrary rulings out of complete ignorance and laziness would have made the mistakes that you did. All I have to do is look at the subjects that you added to see that half or more are not as well known as James ben Ali Haggin. He is notable on numerous grounds as a lawyer, rancher, miner and horse breeder. He was also notable for being part Turkish among Turkish Americans. Also the page that the public domain text is on has the owners email address. Not contacting her to ask whether her note is a forgery is your omission not mine. I have also found out that it is possible for an edit cowboy to arbitarily remove an article which another editor has negotiated changes into eventual approval but that is another historic profile Pierce.
Thanks for explaining the single line problem
Hi Richard. Please can you make sure that you sign any posts you make on a talk page. Do this by adding four tildes at the end of your edit like this: ~~~~. They will be converted to your name and the date and time automatically.
Can you also please refrain from insulting other editors and accusing them of incompetence or laziness when they are trying to help you out. You will not make any friends here if you continue like this. Wikipedia is a community effort and you need to abide by its rules and conventions if you want to participate. The process of checking copyright assertion takes time, and your impatience is not helping.
Can I also point out that the text that you pasted into Wikipedia is entirely inappropriate for an encyclopedia article and at best will require extensive editing to conform to theWikipedia:Manual of style. Are you going to do that editing, or are you going to leave it to one of the other 'lazy' people who edit this encyclopedia? DJ Clayworth (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DJ What you have demonstrated is power, subjective judgement and arbitraryness. You have totally removed an article without even checking with the person whose copyright you not they are claiming that the article is under. Addition of information and stylistic changes can not be made to a void space. Are you going to replace the article when you have bothered to contact Linda Haggin Peck? Most of the historians that I know that I bring up Wikipedia to are either mystified by how to join or are burned out from having done so. There is no reason why I should accept that Caryl Churchill is notable but my knowledge of drama performance in England is limited and I can accept that. In the same situation reversed you use your ignorance as reason for deletion. RichardBond (talk) 18:59, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As you will find when you have been here a bit longer, the burden is on the person adding material to Wikipedia to show that it satisfies the copyright and notability requirements. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By that reasoning DJ most of your articles added would not past muster on notability grounds. Most of my new article additions have been articles from before 75 years ago which I added additional information to. That period is longer in Britain I know but it is not the same law here.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ibrahim Ben Ali, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ibrahim Ben Ali seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ibrahim Ben Ali, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

As reviewing administrator, I think the notability as a mining pioneer is fine. But, and it is a very big but, it appears that this is also a copyright violation--see the talk page. You are responsible for the content you paste from other sites, and it appears exceedingly likely that the author of that page did not have permission for the material she used from a printed source. Whether she did or did not give you permission under WP:GFDL, which is much more than just permission to use in WP, is irrelevant. If you would like to claim that you did not use more than a small fair use excerpt from that source, please provide exact quotation marks for the material used. Be aware that paraphrase does not meet our policy. The information DJClayworth posted above with respect to another article is perfectly correct. (and the current US copyright date before which material is Public Domain is 95 years for published works, unless you can show it falls under the various exceptions.)

The source, History of Kentucky, give a publication date of 1928. 1928+95=1923. unless you can demonstrate why that date is wrong, or how it falls under the exceptions, I shall nominate the article for deletion by the appropriate method. DGG (talk) 22:00, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I did not understand the 95 years to extend to a work published that early. I understood it as present and future works. In either case it would be good to have Linda Haggin Peck do the rewrite because she has additional info that is not in the book. Would that put works by someone who died in 1916 back under copyright? That is less than 95 years, if so Jack London's heirs now have a fortune in the royalties coming from US publishers that they no longer thought they had.

Well I added information despite beginning with their self description. Most of the time it has been the confusion of the other Wikipedia editor regarding the difference between American and British copyright law. American copyright lapses into public domain sooner.RichardBond (talk) 09:13, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what that means. How could you possibly think a copyright from 2006 (as the page you copied from was clearly marked) was in the public domain? Well, here's your notice. In the United States, generally if the work was created after January 1, 1978, the work is copyrighted for the life of the author plus seventy years, meaning you would take the date of death of the author of the work and add seventy years to it to find when the copyright lapsed (this is similar to most United Kingdom copyrights). That means that if the author of that web page died back in 2006, the copyright wouldn't lapse until 2076. In some cases the copyright may last longer. There are many arcane rules but essentially, nothing you ever come across that is not a U.S. Federal government work and which doesn't say, expressly, that it is released into the public domain, is out of copyrighted if it dates after 1923. Let me translate further: Do not post any text on Wikipedia whose source doesn't clearly date to December 31, 1922 or earlier unless it says it is in the public domain, is under a free license, or is a work of the U.S. federal government. Note also that we do not agree with plagiarism. In other words, even if a work is out of copyright, you must provide attribution to the work you are taking the text from. For example, see the attirbution statement someone added to your unattributed plagiarism which is the subject of the thread below this one.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:21, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to assume good faith here and I am having trouble at this point. This was copyrighted as of 2006. And again, 70 years plus life of the author is for copyrights starting after 1978. 1923 is the date for before that. And you are guilty of plagiarism multiple times over by failing to attribute where you got pubic domain text, regardless of copyright (though you may not have understood that part, which you can't claim now).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Juan Hernandez (diplomat) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.juanhernandez.org/index-1.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Biographical information is going to have overlapping sections regardless of the source. I do not consider myself to be a fan of Hernandez and I am curious to see what the entry you had removed said. In either case what should have been done is clearly different from what you did which was wrong. A person with Ambassadorial status is clearly of sufficient notability.

I noticed your comment at Talk:1689 Boston revolt regarding the arrest of Sir Edmund Andros during the uprising. It is probable that Colonel Bond either seized him as he left the temporary council house, or perhaps after returning to the suddenly-besieged Fort Mary.

Hello! I have recently been re-reading Lord Churchill's Coup by Stephen Saunders Webb, which includes a highly detailed section on the Boston revolt. The book describes two times during the course of the revolt when Andros was arrested. First was when he left Fort Mary with his aides and confronted his own rebellious council; the militia officers with the council arrested him and placed him under house arrest. Second was when a band of militia from the countryside marched into Boston and brought him to the jail itself. Unless Bond was an officer of that militia group, I am guessing he was one of those who arrested Andros at the council meeting. I'll see if his name is listed as one of the officers. dci | TALK 21:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your attribution of Hiram Bithorn surname as English or Irish origin is actually incorrect the surname was originally van Bithoorn and it is from the Netherlands. The family moved to Puerto Rico from St. Croix and some of his relatives still live there. I may not have put in an online citation but you are just guessing.
For your information, I am not guessing, the information was obtained from a surname website. As you know, I have been in Wikipedia for a very long time and I am not about to make up that kind of s--t. Now, you made a statement in regard to the surname Bithorn being originally van Bithoorn and it is from the Netherlands. Nice, prove your allegations as and cite and provide a reliable source as required by Wikipedia policy. You can start at "Ancestry.com" under "Bithorn Family History". Good luck.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
I declined that speedy and the subsequent re-prodding by someone else. An error made is that an article NEVER has to say "this topic is notable because...", as notability is determined through sources (used or not) being available for improvement. Go check the talk page search links and do some expansion, please. As the topic is under many eyes, please source the heck out of everything. Good luck.

A tag has been placed on Americans for Legal Immigration, 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:
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 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 removed without delay.

Hallo, thanks for your recent work in disentangling the two people who had been mixed into one article. Unfortunately, you set about it the wrong way - by deleting the content of Nathaniel Prime to copy it to the two new articles you lost the record of the contributions of all previous editors and made it look as if you had written the pieces yourself. I'm unpicking the muddle. I've left the financier as the Primary Topic, and the other man at (naval officer), and placed the {{copied}} template to acknowledge that the content of the naval officer article came from the other one. If you believe that they are equally likely to be sought in the encyclopedia, please do a formal Move Request to move the financier to Nathaniel Prime (financier). That's the way to do page moves.

A tag has been placed on AMA Xperteye, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Swat Kohistan. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Swat District. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Swat District – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 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, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. JamesG5 (talk) 07:12, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Swat Kohistan, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:
Fails WP:NMUSIC. More like a human interest story.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Vincent L. Berry II and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Vincent L. Berry II, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
An article you recently created, Jose Franklin Jurado-Rodriguez, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Carter Harrison Sr., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Louisiana Lottery.
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Your recent editing history at Center for Immigration Studies shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

My most recent post was pointing out that the article is not neutral that it biased. It incorrectly ascribes authority to the opposition to CIS.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Bibojee Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hello, RichardBond. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
I don't have a conflict of interest regarding the article you posted about. I do see that on closer examination the Pakistani officials were meeting about the refinery elsewhere. There has been important news about the Khalifa Point refinery this month and construction steps have begun. I will edit my previous text to the article to make it more accurate. RichardBond (talk) 17:14, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I just checked the Mahira Khan Wikipedia article and that is from an article in the Nation. It turns out that you were wrong on that one too. RichardBond (talk) 17:37, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hipal instead of correcting your errors you removed an update on the status of the Khalifa Point Refinery. That is being malicious rather than your doing appropriate editing when I am just keeping articles current citing journals. RichardBond (talk) 18:09, 23 December 2020
I didn't mean to put you on the defensive. You didn't answer my questions. I consider these NOTNEWS and SOAP situations. The publisher alone doesn't resolve these problems. Yes, I could have made a mistake. Shall we look at the references closely? --Hipal (talk) 18:48, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Hamira Khan's relationship with Eighteen is an ongoing part time job. The Khalifa Point Refinery will be the largest refinery in Pakistan it is already permitted and now it is financed and finally under way. RichardBond (talk) 18:50, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that in both situations, the references look like press releases to me. I didn't see that there were three versions of the refinery ref. Are they all the same press release? --Hipal (talk) 19:07, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the citation was from Eighteen .com .pk or the Ministry of Energy .gov.pk I would understand and accept your point but many news stories result from a reporter editorializing and commenting on a press release or a press release may result from a newsworthy event. RichardBond (talk) 19:23, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Quantity rarely makes up for lack of quality. Best if you'd link these other potential refs rather than just state that they exist and you feel they are better. --Hipal (talk) 20:54, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Look you, the entire paragraph it is in is thematically identical each company earlier in the paragraph is an ambassadorship. Eighteen is just different in that is a real estate development instead of a consumer product. They are all part of an accurate description of Mahira Khan. You are pretending to be a better editor when I am just at a disadvantage for my having turned down advancement. RichardBond (talk) 21:50, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My word Hipal you are cheesier than I initially thought. I see that you removed the description of Jon Ossoffs father. This section of Kelly Loefflers article is a description of her father's career that there is a description of parents careers is normal. It is usually at the beginning of articles as with Kelly Loeffler than in personal life.
Loeffler was born in Bloomington, Illinois to Don and Lynda (née Munsell) Loeffler, and raised on her family's corn and soybean farm in Stanford, Illinois.
I suggest you assume good faith and either avoid BLPs altogether or spend the time necessary to work on BLP content in a manner that doesn't violate strictly-enforced content policies. --Hipal (talk) 02:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You are clearly creating reasonable doubt that you are acting in good faith nor did my addition violate Wikipedia content policies. If mentioning brand ambassador arrangements violated Wikipedia the content policy large amounts of the existing BLPs of sports and entertainment stars would need to be removed. e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Woods#Endorsements You also removed descriptive text regarding Jon Ossoff's father Richard Ossoff. The BLPs usually describe parents early in the article and a citation needed would have been more appropriate. Your going to other articles appears to be referenced behavior. RichardBond (talk) 03:28, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you continue to edit as you have, you'll be blocked or banned. That's policy.
If you want to pursue your concerns with my behavior, I encourage it. However, I won't waste my time with someone unable to assume good faith. --Hipal (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
When it is possible to see several whole paragraphs on the same subject on the Wikipedia biography of another Living Person Tiger Woods and not write so much as a sentence about the brand ambassador positions of Mahira Khan it obviously has nothing to do with Wikipedia content rules. Nor are you by any means acting in good faith you have some sort of thing for Mahira Khan. Each time I added information about Mahira Khan you also reverted information in other Wikipedia article edits I had made though they had no connection to Mahira Khan.

A tag has been placed on ENEX, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://quinenco.cl/en/our-business/energy/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

I have seen this sort of problem before you are acting as a judge regarding a company in Pakistan while being an editor from New York.

Hello, RichardBond. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Premier Group of Companies, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.
If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
The Premier Group is one of Pakistans largest companies I provided references and some other editor felt that the number of references and notability was inadequate. There is not much which can be done about the arbitrary decisions of other editors. I had hoped to put the article back up but got discouraged by the thought that the editor who thought the article had inadequate references or notability might be lurking and repeat their error.

There were several problems with your attempt to change the Santa Fe Group article into EAC Invest A/S. Your first attempt appear to be a cut-and-paste move, and an informational template message about this is given below. Your second attempt at moving the page was broken, as it moved the page into the Wikipedia: namespace instead. In any case, since EAC Invest A/S is no longer a red link, you'll need to file a WP:Requested move.
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Santa Fe Group. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Moving the article to a project page is not going to help. If you're that unfamiliar with Wikipedia's mechanism of renaming pages, you should really make a request and wait for others to sort things out. The simplest course of action now, presuming the change is uncontroversial, would be for you to request speedy deletion of the new EAC Invest A/S page that you created by placing the {{db-g7}} tag there. Then, when an admin has deleted the page (might have to wait several hours or up to days), use the Move button to rename the Santa Fe Group article to EAC Invest A/S. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:19, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, RichardBond,
Moving an article that has existed for 15+ years to project space, to Wikipedia:EAC Invest A/ S, demonstrates to me that you do not have the competence to be moving articles around at all. Moving a long-standing article should be proposed on the article talk page. Please do not do any "bold" page moves in the future. Thank you. LizRead!Talk!03:50, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Santa Fe Relocation business was sold as far back as 2019 and the article which is title Santa Fe Group had only been changed to that title shortly before in 2015 yet it has not been appropriately retitled. The corporate changes separating the Santa Fe Relocation business from EAC Invest A/S are also referenced within the article. It seems the editors criticizing me have not read the Wikipedia article or looked for news articles on the companies. Whoever else made changes without noticing the content or searching for other current news articles should have changed it before I found it. RichardBond (talk) 04:09, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No one is criticising you for updating the article with newer sources. You have my thanks for that, and I'm sure others appreciate the work as well. The only problem here is that the attempts to rename the article were not done properly. MB has now helped move the article to EAC Invest A/S. Hopefully, things are now cleared up. --Paul_012 (talk) 05:45, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Voting in the 2022 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 12 December 2022. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wood diesel until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-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 notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

If it were not possible to add links to the webpages of companies in an industry like Fonio it would not be possible to add links in articles about them. The existence of a fully mechanical process solution for Fonio from CAA should actually be in the article. RichardBond (talk) 21:25, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. 
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Fritzpoll (talk) 21:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Hiram Burnett Jr.. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. causa sui (talk) 18:34, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to List of religious slurs. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Elizium23 (talk) 05:55, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Hipal (talk) 18:30, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
