Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. —— Eagle 101 ^{(Need help?)} 23:16, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good day

I noticed that you edited an article on Darren Barefoot. Had I not been mistaken, I assume you are that person, I wish to point out that Wikipedia has a policy on autobiography that it is discouraged for one to edit an article about him/herself (due to conlfict of interest), although the person is always welcome to discuss about it.

Also, I removed the "proposed deletion" tag since based on your work and information the article should go to a detailed discussion on Wikipedia: Articles for deletion. SYSS Mouse 17:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. As I specified in the entry's discussion page, I mainly tried to correct inaccuracies and add sources, which seems in line with Wikipedia's guidelines on autobiography. I also added a line about the Second Life parody, because I believe that's what motivated this entry's creator in the first place. Dbarefoot 18:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits made to NorthernVoice

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Dbarefoot! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule flickr\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 00:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifying my position on Tim Ball/Canada Free Press

I don't care for Canada Free Press any more than you do. I was doing a little digging hoping to demonstrate that his credentials are similar to other ones I recently uncovered. However, after turning up his thesis, honesty compelled me to report what appears to be accurate information. Ben Hocking ^{(talk|contribs)} 16:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spam in Genetrack Biolabs

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Genetrack Biolabs, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Genetrack Biolabs is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Genetrack Biolabs, 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 00:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genetrack Biolabs

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Genetrack Biolabs, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of Amiel Gladstone

A tag has been placed on Amiel Gladstone 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of AdHack

A tag has been placed on AdHack 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 an organization or company, 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.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

AfD nomination of Douglas Leahey

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Douglas Leahey. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Douglas Leahey. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chemical feedstock

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Chemical feedstock, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

License tagging for File:Main Lodge at Hollyhock Retreat Centre.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Main Lodge at Hollyhock Retreat Centre.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:05, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Main Lodge at Hollyhock Retreat Centre.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Main Lodge at Hollyhock Retreat Centre.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:26, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I haven't created many Wikipedia pages over the years, maybe a dozen? And these days I only make a few significant edits or changes per years.

However, since March of this year, a particular user has proposed four of the pages I've created for deletion. They also proposed the page about me for deletion (which is fair enough, it doesn't meet contemporary notability criteria). The first three pages were all kept. The fourth is currently up for deletion.

I don't know if this user has a peculiar vendetta against me, or is just a high-volume deleter of pages. Whether or not it's this user's intent, his consistent deletion proposals have had a chilling effect on my contributions to Wikipedia.

In the past, I've been interested to contribute to Wikipedia in areas where it's lacking--in theatre actors and playwrights, for example. However, I'm discouraged from any further work if my contributions are going to be so regularly assailed.

In essence, I'm looking for advice on how to proceed.

Dbarefoot (talk) 23:55, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I would try not to take it personally. From the looks of things, they found one article written by you that might have not been up to scratch, and then proceeded to check your creation history. I used to do it myself before I realized that it was neither productive nor conducive towards building an encyclopedia. If they nominate every page you create, then chances are it's because they have beef with you and you might have a case at WP:ANI, but from what I've seen it looks like they just got a bit overly critical about a few pages they came across.

I do know it's hard sometimes not to take it personally when a bunch of hard work and effort gets rejected/ignored/etc, but if you keep doing good work for Wikipedia you'll eventually forget about ol' whatsisname that tried deleting a few pages back in the day. If there's anything I can help out with in the future, feel free to drop me a line. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 02:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your kind words. It's not so much a question of taking it personally, but of the shifting calculus I do before investing future time in Wikipedia. Why would I, when my reward is getting to defend sound articles against deletion? Dbarefoot (talk) 04:10, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
