Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Finckenstein (disambiguation). Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Geoff ^{T C} 00:02, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Count Albrecht Konrad Finck von Finckenstein"

A page you created, Count Albrecht Konrad Finck von Finckenstein, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it has no content, other than external links, categories, "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. DA Skunk - (talk) 02:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Finckenstein

Please stop removing {{disambig}} tags on disambiguation articles as you did here and here. The disambig tag clearly marks disambiguation pages, so it is needed for maintenance purposes. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 04:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Finckenstein (disambiguation)

Speedy deletion is only for those deletions that are not controversial in nature. Another editor has objected to deleting this, so it is controversial. It would be best to list the article at WP:RFD instead of retagging it for speedy deletion. Dlohcierekim 14:16, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Burgruine Finkenstein

A tag has been placed on Burgruine Finkenstein, 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 providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. 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 page 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Count Charles Leopold von Schlieben

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 Count Charles Leopold von Schlieben 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. 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 {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Winner 42 ( Talk to me! ) 23:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Adding images

I fixed the syntax of the image you added to the article East Prussia for you. I saw you tried very often to do it right and it never worked. There is a help page that may be of interest to you at

• Wikipedia:Picture tutorial

I think after reading that, you won't face syntax problems again. Regards Skäpperöd (talk) 07:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Soft del.

Hi Cambridgehistory,

I've seen that The Graduate Network has been reduced after a soft deletion. Now that it's back, make sure you do improve the third-part references. In it's current shape, the article might get deleted for good this time. Best, Modussiccandi (talk) 20:02, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Modussiccandi,

Gratias agimus tibi! Thank you for your suggestions, I will make edits to the article accordingly. All the best
