February 2010[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Criminal creology. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Mysdaao ^talk 17:20, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Terms like "revolutionary"[edit]

Generally don't belong in articles, unless they're truly necessary, as they're generally not neutral. If you're describing Einstein's ideas, Darwin's theory of evolution, or something like that, it's probably okay. But in this case, there only appears to be one journalist commenting on the thesis. Even if the journalist was a nobel laureate, a single person calling something "revolutionary" doesn't mean that it actually is. Best, -- Bfigura ^(talk) 18:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, have you found an online link to the jouralist's articles? The paper in question doesn't seem to post archives back far enough. -- Bfigura ^(talk) 18:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Or alternatively, another source that describes/discusses criminal creology? Generally, for a subject to be considered notable, it needs to be the subject of in-depth coverage from multiple independent reliable sources (emphasis mine). -- Bfigura ^(talk) 18:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow the above advice. Extraordinary claims like "revolutionary" require support from multiple reliable sources. One journalist's view is not sufficient. – ukexpat (talk) 19:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan tag[edit]

I have put back the orphan tag - it refers to incoming links from other articles not outgoing links to other articles. – ukexpat (talk) 19:30, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Criminal creology[edit]

I have nominated Criminal creology, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criminal creology. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Bfigura ^(talk) 19:42, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Criminal creology. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 00:52, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Criminal creology, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ukexpat (talk) 04:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppetry case[edit]

Your name has been in mentioned in connection with a sockpuppetry case. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mostreal for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to cases before editing the evidence page. Pgallert (talk) 14:22, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So that you're aware, I've asked on the administrators' noticeboard (ANI) for someone to take a look at this. You can comment either on the Investigation page linked above or ANI, should you so wish. -- Bfigura ^(talk) 18:35, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked[edit]

It has been established that you engaged in sockpuppetry by evidence presented here:
Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mostreal, and you are therefore blocked for a period of 1 week. You're welcome to make useful contributions after the block expires.
If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Floquenbeam (talk) 22:00, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have only blocked your account for 1 week because I am assuming (a) you want to help write an encyclopedia (since you did create the article to begin with), and (b) that you simply got carried away, and will eventually realize that was an unproductive exercise. I'm afraid that after the block expires, you're likely to be under increased scrutiny, but if you can handle that and you're willing to follow our policies (see below), we'd still welcome your help in building an encyclopedia based on Reliable sources. --Floquenbeam (talk) 22:14, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
