Revision as of 16:10, 28 September 2016

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 Bikers Enforcement Unit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/06/27/waco-twin-peaks-shooting-update-defense-attorney-files-motion-to-compel-cctv-video-release/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —teb728 t c 03:21, 1 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why Lego OK while Loowi not OK?

Dear WannaBeEditor,

Regret that you marked Speedy deletion nomination of Loowi.

Why Lego OK while Loowi not OK? Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego

Please help to edit Loowi till you think it is OK. Thanks.

Regards, EduToys (talk) 04:18, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@EduToys, Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for contributing.
I don't think Lego's page is relevant here, so there is no point in discussing it.
As explained on the speedy deletion template, I have nominated the page for deletion because it appears like its entire purpose is to promote a company or a product. More information on it can be found by pressing the CSD G11 link.
Please note that you can contest the deletion on the deletion template, and you can explain why you think it should not be deleted. Ultimately, it is not my decision, one of the administration will look it over.
The article you wrote has too many problems to list, but besides for appearing to be promotional, its second biggest problem is that the subject is probably not notable enough to have an article. To understand how to write an article that is Wikipedia worthy, please see Wikipedia:Your first article. To understand Wikipedia's Notability requirements, please see Wikipedia:Notability.
I hope I was of any help. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:24, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @EduToys, you are vioalting Wikipedia's rule by rewriting a deleted page. To un-delete a page, you need to contact an administrator. I have just alerted @Jimfbleak, to the fact that you are an account that is made to promote a product or company.

Hi @Perezgraphics, I moved your conversation here, it is not appropriate on my user page. Also, please sign your posts by typing four tildes (~) , or by hitting one of the sign your posts buttons.

Hi WannaBeEditor, I have a question about deletion - someone deleted my page, and now there is none of the work I did, is there any way to get it back? Thanks Perezgraphics
Yes, the way to un-delete a post is by asking an administrator to un-delete it. However, it looks like many admins were involved in deleting your page, and it might be difficult to convince them to reopen it.
I can see that the administrators that deleted your page did so because you failed to establish significance. This is not an easy element to establish, you need to show that the subject of the page is not just another player, for example you can show that he won awards. This criterion for speedy deletion is called CSD A7, and you will find more info on it by hitting the link. Wikipedia is not meant to be used as a place to promote musicians. Additionally, an account can be blocked if it is found that its purpose is to promote or advertise someone. Good Luck. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 10:20, 3 January 2016 (UTC) בן עמי?[reply]

Thanks for your contribution on editting works

Dear WannaBeEditor,

Thanks for your contribution on editting works.

Might Loowi be important enough like Lego to be enrolled in Wikipedia in the future.

Sorry if we have disturbed your time.

Happy New Year!

Regards, EduToys 11:59, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

It is certainly possible that Loowi will become notable one day, and if it does become notable, I am sure someone will write a great page about it. However, as explained to you by others, Wikipedia is not a place to advertise or promote toys. I am sorry for your inconvenience, but we must maintain the quality of Wikipedia.
P.S. Opening new accounts for the purpose of advertising is against Wikipedia's policies, and probably won't be of any help to you. As you can tell, we are pretty quick to respond. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 19:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Allthefoxes, thanks for being a recent changes patroller, and for fighting vandalism. The community and I appreciate your contributions.

Regarding your reversion of my deletion on the Ger Talk Page , my deletion was not vandalism, I have deleted that comment deliberately. I do apologies for not writing an edit summary, I got distracted by something else.

The discussion starts with the following comment: "Any Gerrer rebels out there who are willing to share with us to what extent sex with a hole in the sheet (erroneously contributed to hasidim in general) is prevalent in Gur?? It would be greatly appreciated"

To simply demonstrate what bothered me in the comment, consider the following sentence: "Any African American rebels out there who are willing to share with us to what extent child molesting is prevalent in African American communities?? It would be greatly appreciated"

The comment is of a very suggesting nature, and it encouraged an argument that assumes that it is practised, but argues whether it is allowed by Jewish law. I researched the subject, and I found no proof to it. As far as I am concerned, it is an urban myth, or a deliberate attempt to disparage. I therefore found the comment and discussion disparaging, and I deleted it as per the guidelines found in Talk page guidelines: Editing Comments.

As a show of respect to your efforts to improve Wikipedia, I will wait to hear your comment before I revert your revert.

Best of luck. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 06:41, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WannaBeEditor: - Feel free to revert. I didn't read into the context, and simply saw talk comments getting removed with no edit summary, so I reverted it. I should have taken a closer look anyways. Cheers. --allthefoxes (Talk) 06:46, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @allthefoxes, done, and properly explained this time.
LOL --WannaBeEditor (talk) 06:56, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your speedy deletion of Euniversity, because CSD A7 does not apply to educational institutions. Please be more careful next time. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 09:54, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Condescension is unnecessary. The first sentence would have sufficed. WWGB (talk) 10:02, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@WWGB, perhaps you are right, I apologize, meant nothing of that sort. Thanks for your contributions. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 10:08, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I'm Sarthak Sharma. This is not a duplicate copy. Thank You

Respective sir, Hi I'm Sarthak Sharma. I have not copied the article from anywhere. I have only taken some hints for only writing 3 lines. Its my humble request that please don't delete my article. Thank You --sattu 11:01, 4 January 2016 (UTC)Sarthak Sharma or sattu

@WWGB, a duplicate copy does not mean that you copied material, it means that a page for that purpose already exists, and you can make your editions there.
Please be aware that you may contest the Speedy Deletion, but you may not Delete a Speedy Deletion template if you are the creator. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 10:49, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding article - Sridhar DOP

Sir,

I had created two pages today accidentally for Cinematographer sridhar .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sridhar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sridhar DOP

These pages were deleted since I wrote the trademarks and personal quotes on the wiki page, which i had already posted on his IMDB profile ( check Imdb Profile link below ).

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm7819649/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cr4

I checked several wiki pages so that i comply with the rules. Now that I have removed removed all the content I had already posted on IMDB related to his personal quotes and trademarks and have also created a subpage for you to review and advise me of any corrections.

Subpage link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Thekeenwatcher/Subpage_Sridhar

Bottom line .. I want to follow the rules and policies following your guidelines .. Please help me ..


Sincerely,

The Keen Watcher Thekeenwatcher (talk) 18:46, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]


@Thekeenwatcher:, I would recommend the following actions:
  • Deleting the infringing sections directly on the page;
  • Rewriting the section "Early Life" without content that is already on IMDB;
  • Rewriting the section "Life and career" to sound less like a fan page / autobiography;
  • Adding Sidhar's first/last name if applicable, or explaining why it isn't applicable;
  • Adding references and source to Sidhar from independent sites to prove notability;
  • After making those additions, explain what you have done in the talk page.
Please complete those additions on the page as soon as you can, and notify me when you are done, or after you made substantive changes. I will than examine your page to see if the deletion nomination should be removed.
Feel free to ask me any question. --WannaBeEditor (talk) 21:01, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Sir,
I have made all the changes you had recommended and have performed the following actions:
Deleting the infringing sections directly on the page;

Rewriting the section "Early Life" without content that is already on IMDB; Rewriting the section "Life and career" to sound less like a fan page / autobiography; Adding Sridhar's first/last Initial ; Adding references and source to Sridhar from independent sites to prove notability;

You can find the updated page here :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Thekeenwatcher/Subpage_Sridhar

Thank you for your support and guidance
Sincerely,
The KeenWatcher
Thekeenwatcher (talk) 22:15, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Thekeenwatcher: First, I intended that you make the changes directly on the page, to prevent its deletion for G11 and G12 (Hint: read those links to understand their meaning).
Second, the reason I helped you edit the page, is because I though and hoped that you might be able to establish notability. However, I have done some of my own research, and I don't think the subject is notable enough to be worthy of a page in Wikipedia (please don't take it as an offence if its you). To be notable, the subject of the page must meet the criteria in Wikipedia:Notability. For example, if the subject won awards, and received a lot of recognition, that might establish notability. If I create your page again, even if it is not copyright infringement or advertisement, it will probably qualify for deletion A7 (Hint:press the link to better understand this criterion).
If you want, you can try to post it again if you can remove the violations, and establish notability. I can also ask another editor to take a look and make a comment.
--WannaBeEditor (talk) 00:48, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Sir,
Thank you very much for taking time to review my article and helping me point out my mistakes and your suggestions in creating better articles.
I didn't want to call that article "Sridhar" since that's already in use . I thought it could be called "DOP Sridhar" or "Sridhar G". Moreover the article "sridhar" doesn't really have a content that supplies some vital information regarding the topic "Sridhar" as discussed on that article. So This article could be replaced with that article .
That's is not my suggestion or anything . Maybe, that's just my opinion. Maybe some people might find lot of information from the already existing article "Sridhar" and its really good if its already serving the purpose.
Again, I don't want to resubmit it unless you find that my article could be posted on wiki with the same title- "Sridhar" or with the these titles "DOP Sridhar" or "Sridhar G".I don't want to argue on just creating a page for a person, since that would sound like advertising that person.
Either post them or delete them all, so that there is not even a deleted record of that person found on the real "Sridhar" in question , Because people who know him may get offended or even report to him if they saw a deleted page about due to some violation which traces back to us or me.
And they wont even care its a Wiki Policy violation but it would look like the person violated something. As i said everyone has different opinions without even totally reading the content.
I don't want media and others hunting me for spoiling that guys name on internet space.A Lawsuit against me for just creating an article , that's the last thing I want now. I understand if it cannot be done. Rules are rules.
Please don't take it personal , I don't even know you. Maybe, you would be someone who would save me from an accident in the future with a good heart. This mail is for Wiki Sir, not you personally.
God Bless You Sir,Happy new year 2016..
Sincerely,
The KeenWatcher
Thekeenwatcher (talk) 13:00, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Thekeenwatcher: As far as I am aware, it is not possible to delete a page's history, and I am certainly unable to do so. However, I don't think it makes Sidhar look bad if the article about him was deleted, and no one can have a legal cause of action against you for trying to write an article.

Speedy deletion declined: MiTAC Holdings

Hello WannaBeEditor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of MiTAC Holdings, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I'm just going to redirect it instead. . Thank you. GedUK  13:01, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

CSD tagging

Hi. Please make sure you have a good understanding of the language of the WP:CSD criteria before tagging pages moments after creation with tags that don't apply. Sky verdone is/was clearly not a G2 test page. It is probably an A7, and it's certainly a WP:BLPPROD, but in the case of both of those tags we should be giving editors a little bit of time to expand the page before tagging it for deletion. A lot of times editors don't realize that when they hit "save page", the page goes live. They think they're just saving their progress. A little bit of patience helps to stop being too WP:BITEey. Either way, a page that is making an effort at being an encyclopedia article is not a "test page." A test page is something along the lines of someone just messing around with syntax. Let me know if you have questions. Cheers, Nick⁠—⁠Contact/Contribs 05:36, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nick, I read your criticism, but I must disagree. Before tagging as test, I googled the name, and concluded that there was no real intention to create a notable article, it looked more like someone wanted to check how fast we will find it. Furthermore, once I concluded that their is no way to establish notability, their is no point waiting. Feel free to argue, it is just my opinion : -) WannaBeEditor (talk) 05:47, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging

Hi, Thanks for removing the tag on Eucalyptus sessilis, could you also please remove the tag on Eucalyptus semota? Best regards Hughesdarren (talk) 05:32, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hughesdarren, Done, it is certainly not applicable. However, I had on my mind to ask you if you don't think it would be better to redirect al those individual Eucalyptus species to the List of Eucalyptus species rather than creating individual articles for each one. WannaBeEditor (talk) 07:33, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Policy on Retagging with CSD:A7

Please see Mar George Rajendran SDB where an IP editor has removed an A7 tag, and I think it should be restored. As much as I looked, I was not able to find WP's policy on re-tagging with CSD:A7 after it was already removed once (for a bad reason). Thanks in advance.

WannaBeEditor (talk) 06:48, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no specific policy on restoring removed speedy deletion tags. It is, of course, subject to the same policies, guidelines, etc as other editing, including the policy on edit-warring, and the bold, revert, discuss approach is usually a good idea. It may be good practice to generally not restore a removed speedy deletion tag unless the removal seems to completely unreasonable, or the removal appears to have been done by the person who created the page, but instead to consider taking the page to a deletion discussion, in the case of an article Articles for deletion. Sometimes WP:PROD is a reasonable alternative, especially if the person who removed the speedy deletion tag indicated (for example in an edit summary) that the removal was specifically because he or she did not feel the particular speedy deletion criterion applied, rather than because he or she thought the article should not be deleted at all. However, there is no point in putting a PROD on an article if it is clear that another editor thinks the article should not be deleted, as the likely outcome is that the editor will just remove the PROD.
As far as this particular article is concerned, I have to say that the A7 speedy deletion nomination is invalid, as being a diocesan bishop is certainly a claim of significance. The article certainly does not contain enough evidence of notability to satisfy the notability guidelines, but whether that is because he doesn't satisfy those guidelines or because he does but nobody has added suitable sources to the article to show that he does, I don't know. I suggest that the next step should be to search for sources: if you find them, add them to the article, and if not then consider other routes to deletion, but, as I have already said, A7 is not appropriate in this case. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:11, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@"JamesBWatson" thanks for the clear answer, I am glad I asked before nominating it for speedy deletion again. WannaBeEditor (talk) 15:29, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi WannaBeEditor. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! MusikAnimal talk 22:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you're doing excellent work! A few concerns: first you are not properly warning vandals after reverting their edits. Huggle and STiki will do this for you, but I trust that you will remember to do it manually when needed. Also remember that some edits, while unconstructive, were made in good-faith. We don't want to use rollback on these types of edits, instead using the "revert as good-faith" option, which Huggle, STiki and Twinkle all have. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for your hard work, and don't go too fast with the automated software! MusikAnimal talk 22:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article deals with material that is not included in the general article Dance - as I know, having worked upon that article and just about every other major article in the category. It deals specifically, as you may guess, with RHYTHM and dance, which, for some reason is not covered elsewhere in depth and requires its own article. Otherwise I'd not be writing it. Thanks. Redheylin (talk) 20:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Redheylin. I did see that you included new materials and citations, however, I strongly believe that the material you added should be added to the Dance page. Did you consider doing that? WannaBeEditor (talk) 20:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I did. I have been working on dance and music articles for many years. Please note that "any article that expands or reorganizes an existing one or that contains referenced, mergeable material" is exempt from speedy deletion under A10. There is no article about rhythmic aspects of dance, and this is an aspect of fundamental importance. To delete it would be as absurd as saying WIkipedia had no use for an article on dance costumes, dance moves, dance venues or any other aspect. Redheylin (talk) 20:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you consider rhythm so closely allied to dance that there is no need to separate the two. This would be a mistake, since the amount of new and authoritative material I am adding speaks for itself. The subject is vast and is not properly covered, hence, as I rarely do, I am adding an entirely new, long article. Redheylin (talk) 20:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Redheylin - I am unconvinced that you are correct. I did remove my own A10 tag when I saw that there is new material, however I don't see why it needs a new article I would strongly suggest and support a merge. I guess we might need some help from outside if we can't reach an agreement. WannaBeEditor (talk) 20:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you wait till I have finished the first writing - which will itself only represent a fraction of the material available - before you consider the possibility of merger. I think you may find that the new article exceeds in length that into which you want to merge it. You have still not advanced any positive reason why such a merger needs to be considered. Goodness knows I have seen off by merger dozens of stub dance articles that were never going to become extended, but this is a subject of primary importance that is not covered and that ought to link to a considerable number of related articles to which it would be inappropriate to link the general article dance. Please contact me later on this. Thx. Redheylin (talk) 21:02, 10 April 2016 (UTC
@Redheylin - No problem, I will wait. Good luck, and thanks for contributing. WannaBeEditor (talk) 21:05, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Redheylin: Just wanted to let you know that someone suggested a merge (not me). WannaBeEditor (talk) 08:54, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, thanks. Amazing the number of people who propose destruction for no reason. One guy a while ago managed to get a category of 100 dance articles removed - just a complete loss of a whole dance category cos he didn't like the name. Still, this guy has no reason at all, nor, need I say, any dance article edits. But everybody knows everything about dance, natch. This is why I don't contribute as much as I did. Redheylin (talk) 10:40, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@OPOEOFKJF:How is adding 8888 to Marc Hansen's name not vandalism? WannaBeEditor (talk) 01:41, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This user has made many edits, none of, that I've seen, have been cited. And many have just added her as a relative, or in Simon Diamond's case, wife and mother of his child. This was done as an IP user. They then created an account that they've used to also make edits to the location a wrestler is from to them being from New South Wales. Warnings don't seem to matter as the user continues to change wrestlers heights and weights without providing an updated source. CrashUnderride 02:45, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Crash Underride: You are right, but since I am not an admin, I reported the user to Admin noticeboard. The are usually quick to respond and block. WannaBeEditor (talk) 02:59, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We can hope. I've had to report people twice before. It's like "I hate them, but I don't know why."...."See!!!!! I told you!!!" lol CrashUnderride 03:02, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MusikAnimal: just a heads up, if you would have a look at my opening statement above about user MaryKember2011. CrashUnderride 03:03, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, clearly the same as Special:Contribs/110.147.166.200, so I've blocked the account for disruptive editing / block evasion. Perhaps the block will get their attention MusikAnimal talk 03:12, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Animal, that's the IP user I mentioned above. I decided to see if they name that the IP user added to the Simon Diamond article was real, and I actually found them. They appear and I stress appear to be a teenage girl with down syndrome. So, that may explain some of it. Who knows. CrashUnderride 03:16, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Harry Dennis (musician)

This article is more than an "interview with the artist," wherein vital information regarding his entry into house music and the earlier years were pertinent to constructing the introduction. This is a response to WannaBeEditor's assertion that, when googled, there is little info on the internet about Mr. Dennis. I am concerned that considering this wikipage for deletion rather than conducting a thorough search of Mr. Dennis to include the websites provided in the content would be an error and negate the opportunity for the general public. as well as house music enthusiast, to increase their schema about this artist...who is well known in the house music community. If Wikipedia is only open to famous, household artists who have won grammys, been featured in commercials and/or are wealthy, then Wikipedia should make that clear. Instead, this format is open to all and/or anyone who has some notoriety (whether in community or at large) to have their biography and/or discography and/or contributions conveyed for the world to see. Would you rather I make up something about this artist? Who better than the artist can tell me about his history? While he has been featured on radio shows, and smaller literary venues, he has not been featured in notable and recognizable magazines for the content to be found there. I searched. I was able to access him, so I interviewed him initially, and I talked to some of his colleagues who are themselves house music artists, and together, they pioneered house music in Chicago.

As the creator of this page who is knowledgeable of house music, as well as having been in the company of house music artists who are also featured in Wikipedia articles, I have a working knowledge of the house music scene and know quite a number of the pioneers in house music. I googled Mr. Dennis, I've photographed and videotaped events of his (and other artists) performances. I approached him for permission to develop a Wikipedia page because it appeared to be a wonderful format to introduce him and his music to a wider audience and to better solidify his presence on the worldwide web.

In my research, I found his music in a number of locations (websites) including Traxsource.com, Soundcloud.com, Beatport.com, Juno.com, ITunes.com, Youtube.com. He is well-known in and around Chicago, IL and is known in New York house music networks. The Warehouse and the Den were the "hot" house nightclubs made popular by the pioneering efforts of Frankie Knuckles, DJ Ron Hardy, Harry Dennis and Robert Williams (information which can be found on the internet). As you may know, Frankie Knuckles (who recently passed away) was honored by the City of Chicago in a street naming ceremony. He was a good friend and colleague of Harry Dennis. You may also find Mr. Dennis name listed in such groups as Jungle Wonz and the IT wherein he was a member (vocalist and lyricist). You will find his name on albums (records) featured on YouTube and his earlier music is considered vintage and sold at record store outlets on the Northside of Chicago. I searched. He has a history of work with notable house artists and producers such as Marshall Jefferson and Larry Heard. Mr. Dennis is also a member of BMI, and has his works are registered with the U.S. Copyright office. He is no fluke. He is a house music pioneer and a ongoing house music artist staying relevant by performing and creating new bodies of work to the present time.

The information contained in this article is actual and reflects not only his contributions to the house music industry, but also provides references and/or links to much (but not all) of his works. I sought his input in my quest for authenticity. Of course, there is some information/dates that are relevant to his music that would not have known without direct input. There are more website links to his vocal works and published music than I have inserted. House music which as traditionally been somewhat underrated or labeled within a specific category is on the upswing in its popularity among wider audiences. His music is also played overseas. He is also well-connected with DJs in the U.S. and overseas who routinely and regularly remix his music which is found on the internet on various websites.

Please tell me what specific sentences are misconstrued or not written to Wikipedia's satisfaction. I encourage you to re-google and to visit the sites I have mentioned above. I am providing a few more links that should debunk the notion that this article is biased (my interpretation) and solely influenced by only an interview format with Mr. Dennis. He is acknowledged and/or respected in the house music industry among fellow music professionals. I paid particular attention to mentioning others who were instrumental in Mr. Dennis career and provided links as much as possible. Overall, this page is to tell others about Harry Dennis who in the early years did not have press other than his name pressed on a vinyl CD cover. House music is no longer underrated. It is now a widely recognized musical genre. Old and new artists are emerging worldwide.

So again, rather than considering deleting his Wikipedia page, just tell me (copy/paste) what sentences need to be deleted to retain this page and to remove the warning label at the top. I forgot to mention Facebook where you can search his name Harry Dennis and Hary Dennis Too. Yes, he created his Facebook pages, but you will see that he has plenty of friends/followers and not only does he post his music, he posts the music of other house artists. You will find a large body of music that he wrote, recorded and was produced and released to include remixes. You will find a diverse community that supports his music. Here are few more links with independent comments about Mr. Dennis:

Jungle Wonz, Electronic Standard, and Penderstreet Steppers. Thank you.--DA01 03:36, 5 May 2016 (UTC). --DA01 00:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here.

Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around!

Regarding revert on Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems

Diff in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tire-pressure%20monitoring%20system&diff=708194143

Indirect tire pressure monitoring systems do not give a unique tire identifier as the text suggests, since wheel speeds are the closest signals from the tire one gets. It gets even weirder (for an indirect system) when encryption of radio is suggested, since (again for an indirect system) there is no particular radio signal to encrypt coming anywhere from the wheel. The text only applies to a direct tire pressure monitoring system as far as I can see, so I fail to see how the edit is not constructive.

@2.248.35.164: You are right, my mistake. WannaBeEditor (talk) 01:45, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from FAST Card into Free and Secure Trade.

The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Diannaa - I stated numerous times in the edit summaries in both articles that i am merging the articles. Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough. 20:15, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Hi, just a quick note re. [1]. Disambiguation pages only have (disambiguation) in the title when there is an article on the primary topic at the root page. E.g. KGB (disambiguation) vs. AID. See WP:DISAMBIG for info. Joe Roe (talk) 11:54, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk.

Small edit on Confessions of an Economic Hitman page

This is in response to your message. I am somewhat new to Wikipedia (well not new, but I rarely edit). I just finished reading the book (Confessions of an Economic Hitman), and the text I added to the page was in a sentence that was already footnoted with a reference to the book, so I didn't think adding a reference was necessary. Apologies. I've added to the footnote a reference to a specific page on which Perkins talks about the loans enriching wealthy families rather than the poor. Though I should say this is a recurring theme throughout the book which gets mentioned more than once, so it's not tied to just one page. (This is my first time using a talk page, so I hope I'm using it correctly!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polytopic (talkcontribs) 01:18, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Polytopic - Regarding the edit, it it was unsourced and appeared to be unconstructive. If it is properly sourced and referenced it should be fine. Regarding the talk page, you are using it correctly, you just need to sign your comment with ~~~~. It will automatically add your signature plus the time and date. In this case a bot already added your signature for you. Additionally, in this case I was notified because it is my own talk page, to notify an editor about a message left for him on a different talk page, such as an article talk page, insert the following template: {{U|user's name here}} or {{ping|user's name here}}. (enter the other user's name in the template, not your own) Anyway, thanks for contibuting to Wikipedia, and thanks for reaching out to explain yourself rather than leaving me to try and find out. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional assistance. WannaBeEditor (talk) 15:25, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
