== Eugene, Oregon ==

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content{{#if:Eugene, Oregon|, as you did to the article [[:Eugene, Oregon]],}} please cite a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]] for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]]. Take a look at [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] for information about how to cite sources and the [[Wikipedia:Introduction|welcome page]] to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.<!-- Template:uw-unsourced1 --> —[[user:EncMstr|EncMstr]] ([[user talk:EncMstr|talk]]) 05:39, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

== Wikipedia is not a memorial site ==

Hi Vicboy, you've continued to add a "fallen officers" section to the [[Eugene Police Department (Oregon)]] article. Please read [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]], which states "Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others." [[User:Tedder|tedder]] ([[User talk:Tedder|talk]]) 00:08, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

== "do not erase" ==

Using [[WP:SHOUT|shouted]] admonitions like ''do not erase'' in an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eugene,_Oregon&curid=9623&diff=358758789&oldid=358750744 edit summary] is contrary to how the Wikipedia community works to build and improve articles collaboratively. The quickest way to gain some insight into appropriate content for an article is to read [[WP:5P|Wikipedia's Five Pillars]]. These form the basis of how one persuades other editors that a particular edit is an improvement.

Furthermore, articles about U.S. cities have already had considerable debate about what should be in them and what should not be included. The resulting guideline is [[WP:USCITY]]. Please refer to that as a reference for improving or developing such an article. If you feel there are inappropriate guidelines there, appeal for change on the [[WT:USCITY|guideline's associated talk page]].

Thanks for your efforts to improve the Eugene article. Possibly you are misunderstanding the Wikipedia slogan ''The encyclopedia anyone can edit''. The full slogan (which was edited for brevity) should be something like ''The encyclopedia anyone can help improve according to policies and guidelines decided by the editing community.'' —[[user:EncMstr|EncMstr]] ([[user talk:EncMstr|talk]]) 03:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

== Lane County fallen officers memorial ==

Hi- again, you added a memorial/fallen officers section to [[Lane County Sheriff's Office (Oregon)]]. '''This is your final warning'''; while the page needs to be expanded, [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]] should be followed. Please let me (or others) know if you need help coming up with encyclopedic content to add. Once example would be the history of the department. [[User:Tedder|tedder]] ([[User talk:Tedder|talk]]) 01:04, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
::It is inappropriate to warn this user over adding this info. [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]] states "Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others." So if someone created an article about a non-notable friend who died, [[WP:NOTMEMORIAL]] applies. However, listing in a police department article that officers in that department have died is history. Having this info is not only appropriate, it is required if the article is to be complete.--[[User:SouthernNights|SouthernNights]] ([[User talk:SouthernNights|talk]]) 01:24, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Hi SN and Vicboy, apologies for that. However, no consensus could be found, even on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Law Enforcement]] to support this. I will agree that it didn't verge into memorial territory if the names are omitted. In that vein, I'm going to convert the Lane County and Eugene police pages to prose, rather than a table.

==May 2010==
=== Vandalism ===

Hello,
I see you have already been warned about adding unsourced claims about Eugene being Oregon's second-largest city, which it is not. I came here because you added that claim to [[Eugene]], also without a source. I also want to point out that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eugene&action=historysubmit&diff=359348416&oldid=333425487 this edit] was NOT a minor edit, and you should refrain from marking edits you know are bogus as minor in the future, because it indicates that you know you are breaking rules and are attempting to avoid detection.

A tag has been placed on [[:Springfield Syndicate 13]] requesting that it be [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedily deleted]] from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]]. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the [[WP:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the article ('''just below''' the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Springfield Syndicate 13|the article's talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria [[Wikipedia:Notability (people)|for biographies]], [[WP:WEB|for web sites]], [[WP:BAND|for bands]], or [[WP:CORP|for companies]]. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.<!-- Template:Nn-warn --> [[User:Morenooso|Morenooso]] ([[User talk:Morenooso|talk]]) 03:03, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

== Acclimatization ==

Vicboy, you seem to be experiencing a higher than average rate of warnings, reverted edits, and deleted pages. Above, I provided a link to [[WP:5P|Wikipedia's Five Pillars]] before—I strongly encourage you read that page, and the primary linked pages, which are:
* [[WP:NOT|What Wikipedia is and is not]]
* [[WP:NPOV|Neutral point of view]]
* [[WP:N|Notability]]
* [[WP:C|Free content (use of copyrighted material)]]

If you have any questions or comments, please drop me a line on my talk page. —[[user:EncMstr|EncMstr]] ([[user talk:EncMstr|talk]]) 03:56, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Vicboy|your contributions]] to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to [[:Pacific University]], you added [[Help:Link|links]] to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see [[WP:Linking|Wikipedia's guideline on links]] to avoid overlinking. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-linking --> ''Linking to the same article twice within the same paragraph is frowned upon. Generally, do not link to the same article within the same section, or even the next section.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Cottage Grove Police Department (Oregon)]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Cottage Grove Police Department (Oregon)]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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 [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:Notability|see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable]], as well as our subject-specific [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|notability guideline for organizations and companies]]. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0|Article Wizard]].

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Cottage Grove Police Department (Oregon)|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 hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Cottage Grove Police Department (Oregon)|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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these admins]] to request that they [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or have a copy emailed to you. <!-- Template:Db-inc-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:GregJackP|GregJackP]] ([[User talk:GregJackP|talk]]) 19:20, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

== Eugene ==

Please do not undo edits without explanation as you did with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eugene,_Oregon&curid=9623&diff=361592562&oldid=361588948 this edit] to [[Eugene, Oregon]]. The editor making the edit has given a reasonable rationale (''please, the article has enough subsections already, this level of navigation is needlessly complex. Discuss on [[talk:Eugene, Oregon|talk page before re-adding]]''). Per the guideline [[WP:BRD|Bold, Revert, Discuss]], it is up to you to explain why your edit is an improvement. Simply undoing edits without explanation is [[WP:CIVIL|rude]], and repeating the same edits without discussion is [[WP:WAR|edit warring]] which you can be [[WP:BLOCK|temporarily blocked]] for. [[Special:Contributions/Vicboy|So far]] you haven't participated in a single discussion. —[[user:EncMstr|EncMstr]] ([[user talk:EncMstr|talk]]) 02:23, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
:One last try on my part. I've reverted all your edits. There are a multitude of reasons, but the above one from EncMstr is most relevant for why I pretty much blanket reverted everything.
:That said, I admire your enthusiasm for trying to improve the coverage on Eugene. But you seam to simply not get what Wikipedia is. We are an encyclopedia. Go look up a city in a print encyclopedia at your local library and see what they tend to cover. Now, since this is not a print publication, we can go more into depth, but we still limit that. Honestly, I swear tomorrow you are going to add a subsection called "''People with the first name of Bob who reside within 50 miles of Eugene''". Then, you would actually pull out the phone book and starting adding those people. Or, in general, please read [[WP:WWIN|What Wikipedia is Not]], specifically the [[WP:IINFO]] section, and even more pertinent #7 at [[WP:NOTDIRECTORY]].
:Now, for a good example of what a city article looks like, see [[Hillsboro, Oregon]]. It's the best in the state, which I know because I did most of the work, but also because it is the only Featured Article of a city in Oregon. We also have [[Cave Junction, Oregon]] and [[Wilsonville, Oregon]] as GAs - and the Wilsonville one I'm responsible for. So, hopefully, that demonstrates that I actually might know something about city articles. But, if you don't care, oh well, no big deal, you can just read all the policies and guidelines and come to your own conclusions on content. For that, start with the above links (all of them, not just this section), and add [[Wikipedia:Featured article criteria]] (what all articles strive for), [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cities/US Guideline]] (an outline for a city), and as a warning see [[WP:3RR|about our three revert rule and edit warring]].
:Lastly, hopefully the fact that a handful of editors have come to you to discuss your edits and that there are problems with your edits gives you a clue that there is a problem. Please take our advice. Failing to abide by the community consensus is a problem, and does not making editing fun.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Ya-Po-Ah Terrace (disambiguation)]]==
Hello Vicboy, this is a message from an [[WP:BOT|automated bot]] to inform you that the page you created on May 13 2010, [[:Ya-Po-Ah Terrace (disambiguation)]], has been marked for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] by [[User:Ttonyb1]] ([[Special:WhatLinksHere/Ya-Po-Ah Terrace (disambiguation)|page has mainspace links]], and 4 edits). This has been done because the page is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer (see [[WP:CSD#R3|CSD]]). If you think the tag was placed in error, please add "<code>{{tl|hangon}}</code>" to the page text, and edit the {{#if:Ya-Po-Ah Terrace (disambiguation)|[[{{TALKPAGENAME:Ya-Po-Ah Terrace (disambiguation)}}|talk page]]|talk page}} to explain why the page should not be deleted. If you have a question about this bot, please ask it at [[User talk:SDPatrolBot II]]. If you have a question for the user who tagged the article, see [[User talk:Ttonyb1]]. Thanks, - [[User:SDPatrolBot II|SDPatrolBot II]] ([[User talk:SDPatrolBot II|talk]]) on behalf of {{user|Ttonyb1}} 12:01, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]]. I have performed a web search with the contents of [[:Willamette Towers]], and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.willamettetowers.com/history.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

(If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Vicboy, if you had checked the history of articles you have edited, you would already know that an addition like

does ''not'' adequately back up [[Citizens Building (Eugene)]] for its claim of tallest office building. You'll find much to learn about editing rationale in the edit history of an article.

The Tlatlaya and Apatzingán incidents are widely regarded to be extrajudicial at this point so those are okay for inclusion. Thanks again!
