May 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thanks for your contributions, please read a bit more on our MOS. You make a few simple mistakes but you're making them a lot, e.g. we don't capitalize every word in a header. We try to make all of our articles look the same and adhere to a few basic standards. Thanks! JesseRafe (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Kenyan cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2001–02

Hello Ericwg. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Kenyan cricket team in Sri Lanka in 2001–02, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Events involving notable entities are presumed significant. In this case, "[country] cricket team in [country] in [year]" are established kinds of article and there needs to be broader consensus whether they should still exist or not (I suggest raising it at WT:CRICKET). Thank you. SoWhy 16:20, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Eternal statement

Hello Ericwg, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Eternal statement, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: clearly has context. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you.

Also, I fixed your nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eclipse Center (2nd nomination) for you. Before nominating more articles, make sure you follow all the steps outlined at WP:AFDHOWTO or the nomination will not be seen and thus not be acted upon. Last but not least, remember to sign your posts on discussion pages such as deletion discussions or talk pages using ~~~~. Regards SoWhy 16:30, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Rockford High School Proposed Deletion

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia. I just wanted to give you a head's up that I removed the PROD template on the Rockvale High School article. In most cases, this would mean your next step would be to nominate the Article for Deletion on the AfD page if you feel it should still be deleted. In this case though, there's an exception for public schools that avoids the whole PROD/CSD/AfD process for schools that don't meet WP:GNG. Since it was just WP:TOOSOON for an article on the school, I wiped it and redirected it to the school district's page. This isn't the way the process works for most article subjects, though, so I didn't want you to see what I did and indiscriminately copy the process on other articles. If you're curious about how public schools work, here's the guidance: WP:WPSCHOOLS/AG. Happy editing! Orville1974 (talk) 19:57, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

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 ~~~~}}.  MER-C 14:44, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

---

Request reason:

I've improved multiple articles, and added information to them. See my contributions to John Orrell Lever (added information about his businesses), Henry Fisher (MP for Maidstone) (added information about his election), Ronald Ringsrud (removed dead links), Maryus Jones (added American civil war battles he fought in and information about his views on slavery), Robert Forde (added a public domain photo from the expedition he went on), Health_and_appearance_of_Michael_Jackson (reversed some external link spam), Rohm and Haas (added information about their labor relations), and Larry C. Inman (added information about his recent legal issues). It appears this may have been because I created the page for Gregorio Casar. I live in the city where Casar is on council, and follow the news. When I saw that he didn't have a wikipedia page, I decided to create one, and that gave me the interest in further improving wikipedia, which my contribution history demonstrates I've done. I was in no way compensated for the article, and have been planning other articles for the Austin area regarding local activism. Ericwg (talk) 15:18, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
