Speedy deletion nomination of Richard C. Zilmer

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 Richard C. Zilmer 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.

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. Dusti^*poke* 23:51, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Richard C. Zilmer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 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.

License tagging for File:Major General Gurganus.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Major General Gurganus.jpg. 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) 22:05, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Notice regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

Civility

Please read and review Wikipedia:Civility and Wikipedia:No personal attacks. Comments like this and this in edit summaries violate those policies and are not acceptable. Neutrality^talk 14:16, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Judging by this edit summary, you haven't heeded the advice of Neutrality's above warning and also appear to again be POV pushing, as was the case in the aforementioned diffs. Acalamari 01:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

Hillary Clinton article

Hello! The edits you added to the Hillary Clinton article were removed, and you restored them. I am going to remove them again because any such edits, especially to the lede, need to be discussed and reach consensus before they can be added. I just wanted to warn you I was going to do that, because of the Discretionary Sanctions at that article. If you re-add it again, you would be in violation of the Discretionary Sanctions rules against edit warring and 1RR, and you could be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator as a result. Please come to the talk page, propose some wording, and let's agree on what should be in the lede. --MelanieN (talk) 01:24, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

August 2018

Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to InfoWars, will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:14, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistent vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

Ablust (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

Ian Thompson is clearly inciting his own personal bias/anger in Wikipedia articles, and engaging in Wikipedia:No personal attacks by calling people incompetent and half-brained

Notes:

• In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
• Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Ian Thompson is clearly inciting his own personal bias/anger in Wikipedia articles, and engaging in [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] by calling people incompetent and half-brained |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=Ian Thompson is clearly inciting his own personal bias/anger in Wikipedia articles, and engaging in [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] by calling people incompetent and half-brained |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=Ian Thompson is clearly inciting his own personal bias/anger in Wikipedia articles, and engaging in [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks]] by calling people incompetent and half-brained |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

Ian.thomson (talk) 03:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

The only reason to remove the material would be failure to understand that:

• CBS is a reliable source.
• The CBS article cited is "Don't get fooled by these fake news sites," with an entry in particular about InfoWars. In short, they identify it as a fake news site. (Also, that is the only citation at that point in the article, but far from the only one.)
• InfoWars is a fake news site to anyone with half a brain.

Ian.thomson (talk) 03:21, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

How is saying "you have half a brain" not a shining example of your own personal rage/bias (aka NOT credible, neutral facts) and not a violation of Wikipedia:No personal attacks? People like you are why Wikipedia will never be seen as a credible source by anybody with half a brain.
