Speedy deletion nomination of The Shadows (professional wrestling)

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 The Shadows (professional wrestling) 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 company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Feedback 05:12, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi

Could you take a look at this SPI that I have been mysteriously included in. Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kurtan~enwiki. Based apparently on a !vote at a AfD for C. Johan Masreliez. I have no association to that account and I learned my lesson years ago. As I have no association any IP connection should be easily established. I find this very odd.

Sortkeys on Murder of Adam Walsh

Just curious why you are removing the category sort keys from Murder of Adam Walsh? Now the article is going to come up under M versus W in the Category. Seems like it will be hard to find that way --Klaun (talk) 20:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

@Klaun: I see their purpose now, and have restored them. Davidgoodheart (talk) 20:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Great. The fact that the pipe operator is overloaded for categories can be a bit confusing. --Klaun (talk) 20:51, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

Mysterious Disappearances

Why do you keep re-adding subjects that did not mysteriously disappear? Most of these people are known to have been killed, it is simply a matter of the body never being retrieved. Others are people who were known to be kidnapped, which is also not a mysterious disappearance. Edward321 (talk) 05:36, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

@Edward321: Hi, I am sorry, but I do not see things the same way you do, if we don't know their whereabouts that to me is a disappearance. But I will not keep re-adding them, it's just too much hassle, and it's not worth fighting for. When I learn how I will make some independent wikis Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Category of WWF/WWE World Tag Team Champions

I made changes to the category. I moved it to WWF/WWE World Tag Team Champions as WWF/WWE World tag-team champions wasn't correct. Unless the WWF/WWE listed the World Tag Team Championships as World Tag-Team Championship, than by all means have it as WWF/WWE World Tag-Team Champions. But since they don't, it was wrong. I moved all the article to the proper category, but you still have lots to add.Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 06:12, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

There are still tag teams missing from that category that can be added. Take a look at the template and check. Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 06:36, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Deletions

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I hope you don't let your recent deletion nominations get to you and discourage you from editing. You're a very nice and diligent Wikipedian and it makes me sad to see that you're experiencing issues with finding notable subjects to write about.★Trekker (talk) 00:54, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

@*Treker: I know that this is a late response, but I would like to say thank you as you have given me inspiration to keep editing even though I have often really felt like giving up. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:24, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Your recent message to Cullen328

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I reverted your recent edit at User:Cullen328. I'm guessing you just screwed up and put it on his userpage instead of his talk. It's still in the history there if you wish to repost it to the right place, but I've pinged him here, so maybe you can discuss your problem with him here. John from Idegon (talk) 01:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you, John from Idegon. Davidgoodheart, I see no evidence that you are being harassed, and unless you have very solid evidence, I recommend against pursuing any such claim. I agreed with you about Disappearance of Brandi Wells, but that is a borderline case, and those who support deleting the article are acting in good faith and are making relevant points. You are not yet well-versed in our notability standards or what constitutes a reliable source. I saw you arguing at another AfD that a YouTube video establishes notability, which is obviously false. Spend more time developing your skills and less time complaining about "harassment" by your fellow editors who are acting in good faith. Also, communicate through user talk pages, not userpages. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Cullen328, see this monster of a thread for some background here. This has been going on for a long time. Davidgoodheart, I'll repeat what myself (and many others) told you there: Wikipedia's standards on which topics are notable enough to justify an article are much higher than you think, and it's not harassment when people try to ensure that Wikipedia policies are followed. Please follow the advice I repeatedly give you and actually read Wikipedia's definition of 'notability' and Wikipedia's definition of 'reliable source', neither of which says what you think they say. ‑ Iridescent 19:34, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, Iridescent. You are patient, helpful and thorough. I had actually read that thread but had forgotten about it. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:06, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

Archive urls

I saw your edit to Brian Pillman recently, please don't remove archive links form refs. They're pretty good to have.★Trekker (talk) 23:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

To add, you should always keep both the archive and original url, use the prameters |url=, |archive-url= and |archive-date= to make it work.★Trekker (talk) 23:27, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

>Spelling

Please do not Americanize Commonwealth spellings, especially when the article deals with a Commonwealth country. You did this here. It is not allowed. WP accepts all English spelling standards. Thank you. Kelisi (talk) 05:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Categories

Ok, I know for a fact that I have told you this before, don't make dead end categories like you did with Category:The Dangerous Alliance members. Also, don't make categories for stuff with less than 5 articles for it.★Trekker (talk) 04:30, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Note

This is blatant canvassing; informing an editor you know will vote a certain way with such a bias statement is as obvious as it gets. I know you are already well-informed about canvassing. And, on another issue, this is not appropriate either. You cannot bypass other voters to assert your own opinion. I have had to correct you on that before. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:40, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: Hi, I do not that consider to be blatant canvissing, since people have informed me when their articles were up for deletion, and never asked me to vote, when I did vote it was due to my own judgement, and not because they asked me. Also objecting to my article being deleted is fine as everyone has a right to vote on the issue. Davidgoodheart (talk) 05:11, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

It is canvassing. Stop pretending it is not; I am not reporting it so lying does you no good. And, as for my second point, please actually read what I wrote: You cannot bypass other voters to assert your own opinion. Voting is fine but skipping over other voters before you is not. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 17:54, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: Why does it matter where you place your "vote"?★Trekker (talk) 18:03, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Basic etiquette *Treker: Do not reorder comments on the deletion page to group them by keep, delete, or other. Such reordering can disrupt the flow of discussion, polarize an issue, and emphasize vote count or word count. Not to mention David is technically tampering with another editor's comment by reshuffling it. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:15, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Don't really think that qualifies as "etiquette" by my standards, but the actual reason from the quote makes sense.★Trekker (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: I have moved my vote to the bottom if the page, and this issue of me objecting to the deletion of articles might not last longer, as I will making independent Wikis in the near future. Davidgoodheart (talk) 22:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been saying that for months despite the advice of experienced editors. It would be much easier to simply brush up on WP:V, WP:NOT, and maybe even WP:EVENTCRIT--if you are feeling ambitious--instead of running into trouble while writing about such a sensitive subject outside the protections of Wikipedia. You may believe editors are nominating "your" articles for deletion because they are "pesky" and "ill-informed", but they are displaying their knowledge of notability guidelines and acting fairly for each unique situation.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:41, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: I know I have been saying that for months, but the reason I haven't yet is because I do not yet know how to just yet, but tomorrow I am having someone who will show me how to make some private wikis, and yes I do have concerns about libel issues, so I won't publish any sensitive articles online, so hopefully it will be safe. The way I feel about others viewpoints about what is notable, and what should not be included is my own viewpoint, and there are a wide variety of viewpoints out there, and everyone has a right to their own, and to express their opinion, so I am sorry if what I stated may have seemed a bit demeaning, but I am feeling a lot of frustration as of late and some of it showed in my messages. Also I consider myself an experienced editor who does know a lot about certain topics, and I do consider myself also quite knowledgeable, so I think that my opinion should also count as well. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm sorry to tell you, but you do not get to have different opinions on what notability and extensive coverage or reliable sources are. Why are you so insistent on doing this even when people have told you that you might endanger yourself and others?★Trekker (talk) 06:49, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Mistake?

Care to reinsert my comment you removed? Thanks. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:20, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

@TheGracefulSlick: Hi Grace, yes it WAS a mistake, as I did not mean to do that, and I have now restored it. Also I like that fact that you said you feel for the family of the missing girl, compassion is a great emotion to have. Davidgoodheart (talk) 20:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Part of the reason I nominated it actually was because I feel for this family. Unless something like this is notable--and I believe I thoroughly demonstrated why it isn't--should there be an article? Most families wouldn't want their daughter to be included on Wikipedia so we can focus on what (presumably) lead to her death. I know you had the best of intentions, but Wikipedia is not a memorial, and I do not believe this is the kind of memorial a family would want anyways. You are entitled to your keep! vote. I just wanted you to understand I came at this with good intentions for this girl and Wikipedia. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:50, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

It's cool you want to expand her article. But you added information you were told by Verne Siebert. That's all fine and well. But how do you plan on sourcing that? Besides, you didn't even list the promotion this took plac in. You need to cut down on the amount of independent promotions in the lead section. You don't need to list every promotion she has ever worked for. Not necessary. Just list the main ones. You don't need to list the ones she worked for once. Not necessary. The purpose of the lead section is to summarize things. The career section is for listing career items like major matches, title wins, and what not. A lot of work needs to be done on the article.Mr. C.C.^{Hey yo!}_{I didn't do it!} 11:54, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Hi, if I come across anything I will let you know. Also the fact that he was released from jail after receiving a life sentence after being denied parole 11 times is an indication that Mark Chapman who killed John Lennon in 1980, who has been denied parole 10 times may still have a chance to be released from jail.

List of suicides

@Davidgoodheart: Hi, David. I have removed the method of suicide you included when you added Brian Christopher to the List of suicide article, because the source you cited makes no mention of it. As you know by now, having been editing Wikipedia for a few years, Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, so if you want to re-add that method, please do so only if you can accompany it with such a citation. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 05:18, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Nightscream: Hi, I have added this source now It claims he hanged himself, but often people will try to make theories about some other thing that could have happened. Davidgoodheart (talk) 08:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

David, why did you make these edits? These edits consist of:

removal of overlinking of The New York Times in a citation, when that term is already wikilinked further up

removal of the dead link tag on Nicola Ann Raphael, when the cited source in question is indeed down or dead, and the re-addition of the text " - News|" in the title parameter of the citation for that entry, which I had removed

Reversion of my correction of the capitals in the name of the website PWWinsider.com in Brian Christopher, and the addition of a second, redundant closing tag

User:Nick Gurr 7777's correction of the method of May Brooklyn's suicide, per the cited source, also without any edit summary or rationale Nightscream (talk) 17:52, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

@Nightscream: That's odd, I know it says my name above those edits, but I did not make those edits. Could someone have access to my password do you think? Why else would my name be listed above those edits, I know I did not make them. Davidgoodheart (talk) 00:06, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Look

..at these articles.. I created Von Sydow murders. And contributed to Christine Schürrer and Anders Eklund.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:19, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: Very interesting and well written. Thursday I am getting help with my computer, I will talk to you then. Take care! Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:49, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

This might interest you. Since the editor was harsh on you some time back. BabbaQ (talk) 10:39, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

@BabbaQ: How do you feel about this? I don't agree with her viewpoints, but I do feel that it's bad that she wanted to leave, and I usually think it's wrong to gloat, and in this case it surely is. Davidgoodheart (talk) 23:22, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I hope you understand that TGS had used sockpuppets to influence different articles etc. The editor had received so many chances over the years and the community could not take any more of the users disruptive behaviour if not including the editors great article work. This was not a case of viewpoints any more. It was a case of a editor abusing other editors even threatening one off Wikipedia as included in the discussion that led to the editors block. I hope you did not leave the message at TGS talk page without fully understanding that situation. --BabbaQ (talk) 00:30, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hi Davidgoodheart. Thank you for your updates on the biographies of people in the Mexican Drug War. I noticed you updated several articles and did not provide edit summaries for your changes, so I have a few questions about them. The articles in question are Vicente Zambada Niebla, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, and Luis Fernando Sánchez Arellano. Why are you adding "missing people" categories for these individuals? I understand they were being sought by law enforcement, but they weren't "missing" in the traditional sense of the word (the right word would be "fugitive", and there are specific categories for that). Consider the fact that authorities had evidence of their criminal activities, and that these individuals worked with other people in organized crime, so they weren't "missing". MX (✉ • ✎) 05:02, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

@MX: Hi, I thought that being wanted by the law as not knowing where they were and escaping from prison would classify as "missing", but if that is not the right phrase for that I can except that. Thanks for letting me know this and I won't do that again for fugitives. Davidgoodheart (talk) 07:35, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Nancy Benoit

No, that's different. Chris Benoit, it has been officially determined, that he killed his family and then himself. He can't be prosecuted because he's dead, obviously. Had he lived and been acquitted it would have been the same thing as the Simpson case. But since the perpetrator is dead, we can accept the official verdict and consider it solved (just like Murder of Jane Britton). Daniel Case (talk) 05:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of fugitives from justice who disappeared, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chihuahua (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Break

Hi, I am going to be honest with you. You and I need a Wikibreak from each other. I took a look at the latest 1000 edits on my talk page and a low estimate is that you have written about 600 of those edits. I have also responded back and written on your talk page several times etc. This is a Wikibreak that is needed between us. Today it is the 20 March, you should not write to me or contact me in any way until at least after midnight on the 21 April. And the same goes for me of course. That is a month in which we should both focus on doing our own edits. I fear that we will be too co-dependent on each other otherwise. Do not take this as criticism or me not wanting to have contact with you. Take care and let’s keep in touch in a month or so. Bye. BabbaQ (talk) 11:53, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Disappearance of Brittanee Drexel

On 25 April 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Disappearance of Brittanee Drexel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while investigating the case of Brittanee Drexel, who disappeared 10 years ago today, the FBI brought federal charges against someone who had already served state probation for the same crime? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Disappearance of Brittanee Drexel. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Disappearance of Brittanee Drexel), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

List of unsolved deaths

Hi. I noted you are extensively populating this article as of late (which is naturally expanding in length). I have just added two Wiki. Commons images to separate sections. As extensive sections do not currently have any form of imagery, if a few more images were added, it may help the reader to navigate the article and maybe encourage more contributors? Best regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 02:33, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

@Kieronoldham: Hi, I like the fact that you noticed my work. I figured why not add all the articles that exist to the list that can be added. I like the images that you have added and yes adding images may encourage more contributors as well. If you want to add images great. Images are one on the few things that I do not know yet how to do. You could help me out by adding sources to the articles that do not yet have them. That would make my editing job a lost easier as adding articles is really all that I can do right now. Davidgoodheart (talk) 03:17, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

You are welcome. You have contributed close to double the amount of edits I have on Wikipedia. Searching Wikimedia Commons for relevant images esp. in areas where imagery is scarce is beneficial for articles of this length. I could search for sources. In fact I may do. Regards,--Kieronoldham (talk) 03:42, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Zeng Guofan into List of unsolved deaths. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:50, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

October 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Sayeed Salahudeen, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Kautilya3 (talk) 14:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
