"There are many reasons why a total number of edits usually does not indicate quality of work, quality of an editor, or significance of contributions" -- John of Reading (talk) 15:55, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:RAHUL KUMAR DARIHAT

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 User talk:RAHUL KUMAR DARIHAT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Oshwah: Perhaps check the page history before ticking the "notify the creator" box?

HA! Sorry, John of Reading. That was my bad. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:44, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Automotive industry in Ukraine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Passenger car (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A brownie for you!

I wiki love you! Floyd M. Bunsen (talk) 13:54, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'll leave you some introductory links on your talk page. -- John of Reading (talk) 14:14, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Template addition

At the talk page of Template:Infobox officeholder a majority of editors seem in favor of adding a denomination parameter. However I don't know how to do it. Could you add it? Hawaan12 (talk) 03:21, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawaan12: Since religion/denomination have been extensively discussed at Template talk:Infobox person, I wouldn't be comfortable making any change to {{Infobox officeholder}} except to make its behaviour match that of {{Infobox person}} exactly. I've made a comment at Template talk:Infobox officeholder; I'd like to see if the discussion attracts more comments before wading in to make the change. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:03, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you planning to postpone the change for much longer? Hawaan12 (talk) 06:41, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawaan12: Thank you for the reminder. I've made edits to the template sandbox, test cases and talk page. -- John of Reading (talk) 09:58, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
