Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Spaceflower! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Mollie Hunter - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 22:43, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken my facts from a Swedish book on children´s authors, related in Swedish wikipedia article about Mollie Hunter.--Spaceflower (talk) 03:00, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given name template

I notice that you have been removing {{given name}} from articles about names, without giving a reason in the edit summary. If you have objections to the template, please discuss it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy before going further.

If you just want to remove articles from the head Category:Given names, this can be done with the parameter "nocat", e.g. {{given name|Anthony|nocat}}. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is here: "This category is very large. Pages should be re-categorized into suitable subcategories where appropriate." [[1]]--Spaceflower (talk) 00:03, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So just add the nocat parameter, instead of removing the template. Would you also please reinstate the template where you have removed it unnecessarily? - Fayenatic (talk) 21:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but it would be easier if I knew why "given names" has to be used, since "Feminine given names" and "Polish given names" are undercategories of "Given names".--Spaceflower (talk) 13:39, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It simply shows what sort of page it is, like {{disambig}} does. If it's not there, it's more likely that someone will incorrectly add "disambig" instead. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:57, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

October 21 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of October 21 (Eastern Orthodox liturgics), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://days.pravoslavie.ru/en/Days/20101021.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:41, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The same facts are found on other websites, so I don't see how they can be copyrighted by pravoslavie. I have also noted them as references. --Spaceflower (talk) 00:45, 18 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What I write is the name of the saint and year of death (if known). How can I change or rewrite that? Should I misspell on purpose?--Spaceflower (talk) 00:37, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
