User talk:OttomanJackson

Welcome and introduction

Hi, OttomanJackson. This is NOT some automated message...it's from a real person. You can talk to me right now. Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed you've just joined, and wanted to give you a few tips to get you started. If you have any questions, please talk to us. The tips below should help you to get Best of luck!  Chzz  ►  01:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

ようこそ You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people. Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes. Play in your user area. For example, create User:OttomanJackson/test. Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009. When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references. Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page. There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia! --  Chzz  ►  01:03, 11 April 2010 (UTC) Getting started A tutorial • Our five pillars • Getting mentored How to: edit a page • upload and use images Frequently asked questions • Tips Where to ask questions or make comments Request administrator attention Policies and guidelines Neutral point of view • No original research Verifiability • Grade sources • Cite sources What Wikipedia is not • Biographies of living persons External links • Spam • Vandalism Deletion policy • Conflict of interest • Notability The community Signpost • IRC channels • Mailing lists • Best articles Build consensus • Resolve disputes Assume good faith • Civility • Etiquette No personal attacks • No legal threats Writing articles Be bold in editing • Develop an article The perfect article • Manual of style Pages needing attention • Peer review The missing manual

Stop

Stop recreating these song articles, as they are not notable and fail WP:NMUSIC. Pyrrhus16 23:02, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

• Yes, just to back up the above editor. The relevant policy is WP:MUSIC - it says "Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. (However) a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Thanks, Black Kite (t) (c) 01:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Notabilty

Notability is based on coverage in many, many reliable sources. Not on a handful and not on your original research or opinion. The images you added to the article were taken by Discogs off of google images and they have not credited the photographer, as it is clearly a photograph of the product and not just an album cover on its own. The images fail WP:FAIRUSE and are a copyright violation. Pyrrhus16 10:50, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

April 2010

Stop edit warring by restoring the images to the "Speechless" article, when several editors are opposed to them. Use the article talk page, where these issues can be discussed. Continue along this route and you may be blocked from editing for edit-warring. Pyrrhus16 21:55, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Conquests (Civilization III Scenarios)

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 Conquests (Civilization III Scenarios), 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. Pyrrhus16 22:00, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Re:

Your articles are redirect and nominated for deletion because they are not independently notable, meaning that they are not written about in many, many reliable, third party sources. I think you would benefit from using the this to create any future articles. Pyrrhus16 22:18, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Theodosia Throckmorton

I have nominated Theodosia Throckmorton, 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/Theodosia Throckmorton. 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. Pyrrhus16 22:28, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Speedy deletion of OttomanJackson

A tag has been placed on OttomanJackson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Regarding Rheims Faculty of Law

As there's no rush to accept submissions, you should always cleanup the article first. Right now there are several broken references, entire sections which must be removed, and poor sourcing.  fetchcomms☛ 23:10, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

In addition, a comment was left unaddressed, that it needed (and still needs) a copyedit. If you could assist in that, please do.  fetchcomms☛ 23:17, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Do not lie in edit summaries, as you did here. That edit does not constitute vandalism at all. Furthermore, use the article talk page to discuss issues and cease edit warring. Pyrrhus16 23:16, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

User:IBen/TB mono 01:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the article Speechless (Michael Jackson song) has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. mono 01:40, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Recreating Greg Heffley

Please do not re-create articles where there is consensus to redirect per an AfD discussion. This page: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greg Heffley established consensus against his notability, and your one opinion does not override consensus. Thank you and かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 06:57, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as Don't Walk Away (Michael Jackson song), you will be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. I'm sorry to have to use such a warning; I appreciate your efforts, however - considering all the other messages above, I really think that you need to read WP:FIRST, Wikipedia:Image use policy#Requirements and Help:Edit summary. To create an article that is not ready to go live, use WP:USERSPACEDRAFT. I will add some help about referencing, below. Please ask if you need help.  Chzz  ►  07:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

How references work

Simple references These require two parts; a) Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref> b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}"; == References == {{reflist}} (an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections) To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:OttomanJackson/reftest and try it out. Named references Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook"> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/> Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result. Citation templates You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation | last = Smith | first = John | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century | publication-date = 2001 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]] | page = 125 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4 }} </ref> Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result. For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Proposed deletion of Theodosia Throckmorton

The article Theodosia Throckmorton has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable character

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ~BLM (talk) 16:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as Theodosia Throckmorton, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do NOT recreate pages that you or others have created that have been recently deleted per consensus. I suggest you take the time to read some of the helpful links supplied above.

Can you please answer the question for clarity? Pyrrhus16 21:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

One of wikipedia's rules says don't ask for personal information. Please cease your disturbance, as I will not say whether or not 24.15.54.202 is me and you are annoying me with your constant pestering for this info OttomanJackson (talk) 22:22, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: ???

No, you cannot recreate the deleted page because other editors discussed the matter and stated that it should be deleted outright, with no redirect. The song articles that you create are fail WP:NSONGS, so I suggest you stop and instead work on the thousands of song articles that already exist and that need improvement.
