I have just deleted this image. You have provided no evidence at all to sustain the claim that it is in the public domain, and the fact that it was watermarked strong indicates that it is actually under copyright. You will be blocked if you do this again. Nick-D (talk) 23:07, 5 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Destroy Dick December

Hello Twistedaxe,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Destroy Dick December for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate 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 don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of V3rmillion

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 V3rmillion 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 web content 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.

I guess we would need an official confirmation from Hezbollah before changing?

Let's wait I guess. Alon Alush (talk) 08:34, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We don't even need an official confirmation from Hezbollah. We just need a confirmation from a neutral source. If you check the talk page of Nasrallah, the first "Extended Edit request" also explains why the IDF can be an unreliable source.

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

We don't post "alleged" in the death section of a person who is deceased without solid evidence. This isn't unique in the case of Nasrallah or other politicians, it's the case for anyone who can't be confirmed dead and has other sources contradicting any other death statements. What you inserted also says nothing. TwistedAxe [contact] 10:02, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"alleged" was the same term used by Wiki Editors when Haniyeh was "removed", global sources are reporting on it, even Al Jazeera. Gonzafer001 (talk) 10:05, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global sources are reporting on what the IDF is claiming. In this case, it is not evidence and therefore remains as hearsay. It is hearsay until any evidence is presented. Also, in the case of Haniyeh, we did not report on him being "potentially dead" as, A) his death was swiftly reported and confirmed by both Iranian and outside sources and B) we waited until such information was available. As I said earlier, it doesn't matter if his death is "alleged" or not, as we wait until we officially say that he is dead. For now, this part (his alleged death) has been well documented in the article and needs no further clarification. However, you are welcome to expand on that part if you feel like some important details are missing. However, we do not post his "death date", "death location", etc without the required evidence. It is only alleged. TwistedAxe [contact] 10:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How is it that we have to wait on a confirmation from Hezbollah.. or even Hamas sometimes? They are designated Global Terrorist groups, their words mean nothing. That’s like asking Isis or Al Quada to confirm the deaths of someone from their insurgents, it’s ridiculous. It’s like asking Jeffrey Dahmer to confirm if he really was a carnibal… we already know. Gonzafer001 (talk) 10:11, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I never mentioned confirmation from Hezbollah or Hamas. I'm saying we should wait on a confirmation from an outside source that ISN'T the IDF. Plus, if Hezbollah/Hamas claim that Nasrallah is dead, what good does it do for them? However, I do agree they are not reliable sources but them confirming the death of their own leader is almost guaranteed to be true. It's like when the IDF is reporting on the death of one of their own commanders. It's something neither side wants to do, because it's against their own interest. However, in this case, not only are Iranian sources contradicting Israel's statement, I also specifically said that we should wait on a reliable, neutral source. So far, we don't know Nasrallah's status. I've gotten an administrator involved in this case because of the rampant rollbacks you keep doing (clearly ignoring the rule in effect), so please, await any further edits for now.

Hey, Twistedaxe – I do want to let you know that this edit is a borderline WP:1RR violation. I'm not going to log this at WP:AELOG, because there's a fair case to be made that the edit could fall under the BLP exception, but as it is your second revert on the page in 24 hours I did just want to make sure you were keeping that in mind. Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 10:55, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
