Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Yorkshire Air Museum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Battle of Britain Memorial (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.)

Some bubble tea for you!

I love you my guy. Kellerneuman (talk) 14:55, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some baklava for you!

Hi there Hugsyrup! I'm Adam - a fairly new editor and I'm not sure if this is the right place to type if I want to chat to you? It's just that I've recently created a couple of pages which you've edited and I've written a message about each

- really want to try and figure out where I went wrong with them but don't know if it's in the right place. The page talk section? Thank you! (Sorry if this is the wrong way to chat on wikipedia! Still learning!) AdamSurrey (talk) 20:44, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adam, thanks for the message, and apologies if the messages I placed on your talk page when I nominated your articles for deletion sounded a bit unfriendly: they are automated messages and can come across as a bit impersonal.
I'm quite a new editor myself so I'm not really the best person to help you, but the essential problem with both articles you created (as I saw it, and others might disagree as the deletions are still under discussion) was that the subjects were not notable according to Wikipedia's definition. It would be well worth you reading up on Wikipedia's guidelines for notability as well as the policy on what constitutes a reliable source and trying to take that into account when creating future articles. You can also get lots more help by posting at the WP:teahouse. I hope this helps a bit. Hugsyrup (talk) 08:26, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hugsyrup, no worries! Thanks for your help and for your reply. I've written again on the talk page of the Coast to Coast Group. Thank you! AdamAdamSurrey (talk) 10:22, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete DYK nomination

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Florrie Redford at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; if you would like to continue, please link the nomination to the nominations page as described in step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 09:06, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK nomination of Florrie Redford

Hello! Your submission of Florrie Redford at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Yoninah (talk) 14:20, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, why are you changing the reference formatting? When you have more than one page number from a book, it's cleaner to use Harvard footnotes (see Help:Sfn). Yoninah (talk) 15:52, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Yoninah - well I thought I was changing it to Harvard footnotes, although I don't have page numbers as I'm using Google Books which, annoyingly, doesn't provide page numbers for this book. I see you've reverted my changes back to how I had it before though, so now I'm not sure what to do with them.Hugsyrup (talk) 15:55, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Here's how I find the page numbers in a Google Book like this: I scroll through the book for the fact I want to mention in the Wikipedia article. Then I do a search on Google Books for the name of the book plus a few words from the page I found the information on. This brings up a URL that includes the page number. If you can't find the right page numbers in the Tate book, it's okay to leave out the page numbers. (By the way, that title is really insulting.) Best, Yoninah (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome - thanks for the advice. I won't have time just now, but I'll come back and find the page numbers using that method later. (It is isn't it... kind of a shame on a topic like this) Hugsyrup (talk) 16:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, the article looks much better now! I'm going back to the nomination page to comment on the hook. BTW when you create a page on a Canada topic, you can list it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge. Yoninah (talk) 16:17, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Florrie Redford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hachette (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Footballer A7s declined

Hi Hugsyrup -- The rubric for A7 reads "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source or does not qualify on Wikipedia's notability guidelines" so whether or not it meets WP:FOOTY is irrelevant. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 12:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Espresso Addict. No worries, and thanks for taking the time to explain the decline. My thinking was that, given WP:FOOTY, simply playing for a non-professional team shouldn't be considered a 'claim of significance of importance', and the articles contained no other claim, so I still felt A7 could be valid. However, I realise I may have got that wrong here. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:50, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The bar for A7 is intentionally set extremely low. Different admins disagree on quite how low, but any credible specific claim is enough to save it from A7. Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance is a useful explanation, and you might also like to read Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters, which covers some of the other criteria that patrollers often get wrong. In this case BLP prod is probably the next step, and then look at the quality of the references that are provided, if any. Happy editing! Espresso Addict (talk) 13:05, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Nigel Botterill

Hi there Hugsyrup!

I am trying to make changes to Nigel Botterills account and each time I add something you delete it. I would very much appreciate if you stopped as I work at Entrepreneurs Circle and wrote the copy on the website that I am copying over.

Please could I add this back to the page?

Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conker095 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Conker095: It doesn't matter that you wrote it - the site you are copying it from (https://entrepreneurscircle.org/) states '© Entrepreneurs Circle Ltd. All rights reserved.' therefore the material is not available with the worldwide copyright-free license that Wikipedia requires. I left a message on your talk page explaining this, but the key page to read if you really want to donate that content to Wikipedia is Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
However, given that you say work for the organisation, you have a clear conflict of interest and indeed fit the description of a WP:PAID editor, in which case by editing without a disclosure you are in breach of Wikipedia's terms of use. And by continually inserting highly promotional content and multiple links to your employer's website, your editing is clearly inappropriate. Please read the policies I have linked to before you make any further edits to pages that you have a conflict of interest with. Hugsyrup (talk) 13:09, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh I wasn't aware of the COI policy, I have looked over these and will not make further changes to the page. Could you please revert it back and remove the deletion message on the page? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conker095 (talk • contribs) 13:18, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Conker095: Thanks. I have already removed the copyviolating content, and am waiting for an admin to delete them from the page history. The deletion notice is not related to the potential copyright infringement - that is a question over whether this individual is notable enough to have an encyclopedia article about him. That will be discussed by editors for a week and then a decision will be made. You can participate in the discussion but if you do so you must clearly state that you have a conflict of interest when doing so. I hope this helps. Hugsyrup (talk) 13:25, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Where will this talk be? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conker095 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Nigel Botterill (2nd_nomination) There is a perfectly clear link to it in the deletion notice on the page. Hugsyrup (talk) 13:34, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Florrie Redford

On 7 July 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Florrie Redford, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Florrie Redford played football with other women during her lunch break at a World War I munitions factory prior to becoming a leading goal scorer for Dick, Kerr Ladies F.C.? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Florrie Redford. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Florrie Redford), 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.

Rollback granted

Hi Hugsyrup. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Anarchyte (talk | work) 14:37, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of United Kingdom BSE outbreak

The article United Kingdom BSE outbreak you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:United Kingdom BSE outbreak for reasons why the nomination failed.

Translation of article about the LitRes company

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:The_LitRes_company

> Honestly I think the notices at the top of that page do a pretty good job of explaining the issue, and they also include several links to a lot of guidelines that will explain it further, in far more detail than you will get from us here. Have you read all of those pages? If so, and you still do not understand something about why the article was rejected, then feel free to come back with some more specific questions. Hugsyrup 10:57, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi! Can you help me please? What particularly should I change in my article, that it won't be declined? Because the notices at the top are a bit general for me.
