User talk:Westroopnerd

Hello! I'm Westroopnerd. Welcome to my talk page! Feel free to leave messages, feedback, or just simple discussion here. I appreciate it!

contesting articles

I want to contest the articles you put up for deletion. --Softstarrs23 (talk) 23:46, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Which article are you referring to? Club Atlético Newell's Old Boys II or Honolii Stream? Or both? Westroopnerd (talk) 23:49, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Both --Softstarrs23 (talk) 23:50, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To contest the first one, click the button on the red template at the top of the page that says "Contest". This will allow you to create a discussion on why the article should not be deleted. For the second, you can simply remove the template, although it could be re-nominated at WP:AFD for a controversial nomination. Westroopnerd (talk) 23:52, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mentorship

I need mentoring. --Softstarrs23 (talk) 23:54, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you're new to Wikipedia, I strongly recommend checking out the Teahouse, that's probably the best mentoring you can get around here! Also be sure to quickly read over the five pillars of Wikipedia. Also, thanks for volunteering to help out Wikipedia! It's a great thing to do! Westroopnerd (talk) 23:58, 15 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm Nrwairport. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Suō no Naishi, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. Nrwairport (talk) 06:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Sea 1619

Hi Westroopnerd,

The Dead Sea 1618 is a company that was established back in 1890. It should not go through speedy if you think it does not have a place in wikipedia. --Tarawneh (talk) 17:36, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! It's important to remember that age does not mean notability. While this company is potentially notable, I see no particular indication of it on the page and found few external sources on it. I would be more than happy to put it back through AfD, if you prefer. Westroopnerd (talk) 17:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, gladly. There are tons of offline references, I will add them all to the article. But at the end of the day, this is not a NASDAQ company, so do not expect to find info about it online. --Tarawneh (talk) 17:47, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dead Sea 1618

Hello Westroopnerd. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3),or significance (CSD A7) moments after they are created, as you did at Dead Sea 1618. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.. Also note that since you acknowledge the company is "potentially notable", you should not have speedied it at all. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 19:42, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nrwairport (talk) 21:43, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, I tagged Zion Lights over twenty minutes after creation, with virtually no difference in content. Westroopnerd (talk) 21:45, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

St. John's Church, Vellore

Thanks you for patrolling the article St. John's Church, Vellore. Actually, I created this article today (4 hours ago), and was in the process of editing the article, when it was patrolled, before the article was completed. Could you please review the article again. Regards "Aus_Indian (talk) 04:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC)"[reply]

Absolutely, thanks for bringing this to my attention! Westroopnerd (talk) 19:01, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Riley Richard Anderson didn't need to go through AfD

There was no claim of significance or importance in Riley Richard Anderson, so I have speedy deleted it per WP:CSD#A7. You could've tagged the page with {{db-bio}} to request speedy deletion rather than creating an AfD page. —C.Fred (talk) 03:26, 19 August 2015 (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.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Westroopnerd,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gubernatorial elections stubs

Just a quick note to say thanks for creating the basic outlines on all the gubernatorial election pages- perhaps add one reference if you can for each one so it doesn't have to have that ugly "unreferenced" tag on top :) ? jcc (tea and biscuits) 12:07, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary Sanctions Notification - American Politics

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 recently 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 any 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.

One link that says the vote tally is getting close is not enough for a Wikipedia article. What you put there belongs on the election article. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:10, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct Westroopnerd. There is too many editors/ips editing the United States House of Representatives elections, 2018 article. I think I'm done with it, taking the satisfaction that it'll be accurate by January 3, 2019. GoodDay (talk) 04:49, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please explain why Lesbian elvis is pointing to 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas#District 3? I can't find a connection between the two. Wug·a·po·des 07:44, 16 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
