Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to June Mar Fajardo, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. You accidentally removed June Mar's photo on the article. Please be careful next time. -WayKurat (talk) 04:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Salamat, Kaibigan

Hello Archie a9. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Salamat, Kaibigan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: If you think "this privilege speech does not have any historical value and does not even made the Philippines' top news of 2014, so this article about this privilege speech does not qualify for a Wikipedia article" then take it to WP:AfD.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Doug McDermott.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Doug McDermott.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "Click here to 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Topeleven.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Topeleven.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:27, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Ipomoea aquatica, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Please give a logical or reasonable reason why you're deleting the section, and other editors may be less eager to revert you.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Ipomoea aquatica. Please explain why you want to delete a referenced section, as deleting a referenced section without explanation, and edit-warring is considered inappropriate behavior.--Mr Fink (talk) 06:00, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2015 PBA Governors' Cup Finals

Hello Archie a9,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged 2015 PBA Governors' Cup Finals for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was created in violation of a block or ban. Content created by banned users will be deleted immediately.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Luxure Σ 12:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Troy Rosario

The article Troy Rosario has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. WWGB (talk) 05:36, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

2015 ABL season

I have declined your G7 speedy request for this article, as you do not appear to be the sole author or contributor to the page (indeed, requesting deletion was your first contribution). Did you mean to use some other code? Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 04:35, 11 October 2015 (UTC).

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Noting the message above regarding a declined speedy deletion, I am here about another: Charles Mammie, which you tagged for speedy deletion as vandalism. This is completely opaque.

Edit-warring and deleting sources, replacing sourced content with unsourced content

You appear to be engaged in an edit war at Calvin Abueva. I see you've also repeatedly deleted a source in that article, apparently because it contradicts a particular statistic you're 100% certain of. No matter how certain you are of your facts, the proper process in these situations is not to simply delete the citation you disagree with and change the data to whatever you think is correct. Instead, replace the source with a better source if one is available; then by all means update the article content to reflect the source. Wikipedia's most valuable asset in the long run may be its collection of references; they help guard against error and vandalism and permit others to verify and explore information in more detail, among other important functions. Needless to say, removing sources and replacing sourced content with unsourced content tends to not go down very well here. If you continue to edit-war and carelessly remove references from articles, you may be blocked from editing, as you've previously been warned for similar violations of Wikipedia's process guidelines. AtticusX (talk) 05:59, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Overwriting articles as redirects

I have reverted a few of these today (Pocholo Villanueva, Eric Rodriguez (basketball)). What is your reason for removing article content and replacing as redirecrts? If you think the players aren't notable you need to take them to WP:AFD for discussion. It is not acceptable to just overwrite the articles without discussion. Rikster2 (talk) 13:40, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Actually Rikster2, it is perfectly acceptable to be bold and redirect an article to another article. It is also perfectly acceptable for you to revert the bold redirect. It would be better if Archie a9 had explained why he had redirected the article but not required. At this point if Archie a9 believes the articles should be redirected, he should start a discussion on the article talk page. AFD is not the proper place to start a discussion if the desired outcome is to redirect the article, the proper place would be the article's talk page. -- GB fan 13:51, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Can you please link the policy around this? It definitely feels like that would be an end-run around the PRIOD and AFD processes so it seems very odd that this would be a WP guideline. In the Rodriguez case it was sourced content that was removed Rikster2 (talk) 13:53, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

You should look at WP:ATD. Prod and AFD are processes for deleting the article and all of its history so they are not applicable when all someone wants to do is redirect the article to a different article, see WP:ATD-R and WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT. -- GB fan 14:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

GB fanThose specify "problematic" articles. With the Villanueva case I can at least see it as that was poorly sourced. The Rodriguez article was not. It is also, as you noted, an issue when no reason is given and also when the article's creator is not notified of the move. I think it is a really poor practice and in my eyes is in conflict with the PROD and AFD processes. When one overwrites an article they are in essence saying that the person isn't notable enough for a stand-alone article, which it seems like more than one person should have the chance to decide. There is also an issue with redirecting two players who had full careers for several teams to PBA draft articles. Sorry, I just don't agree this was good practice per WP:COMMONSENSE. Rikster2 (talk) 14:21, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

I didn't say it was a good practice. I didn't say that those articles should be redirects. I just responded to what you said: "If you think the players aren't notable you need to take them to WP:AFD for discussion. It is not acceptable to just overwrite the articles without discussion." What you said in your initial comments here was wrong. It is perfectly acceptable to overwrite articles without discussion and if a discussion is needed, AFD is not the place to nominate an article for redirection. AFD is the place to nominate an article for deletion. The place to have the discussion about changing the article to a redirect is on the article's talk page. You have fixed the problem as you have reverted the redirects. If Archie a9 still thinks those articles should be redirected, he should go to the article talk page and open up a discussion explaining why it should be redirected. -- GB fan 14:31, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Rikster2, Just another observation, don't hold your breath waiting for Archie a9 to actually discuss this. Less than 3% of his 2400 edits are to a talk page and over 70% of his edits do not have edit summaries. -- GB fan 15:29, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

February 2016

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. -- GB fan 15:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

If you continue mark all your edits as minor even though they are not minor or refuse to communicate about the issues brought up, I will block you. -- GB fan 19:49, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

My only basis if my edit is minor or non-minor if my edit added less than 1,000 bytes. Also, in my opinion, I should not be blocked because I think I have contributed to a lot of articles especially to those involving the Philippine Basketball Association. I have also cleaned up, in my personal estimate, 100 articles, which 95% of those 100 I think is a biography of a PBA player, and I am currently trying to clean up and improve articles that I think can be cleaned up easily.

Decline reason:

This block has certainly achieved one thing, namely getting you to post here in response to another editor. I hope that will be the start of a new approach which will continue when the block is lifted. I say "when", not "if", because I see no reason at all why you shouldn't be able to address the issues which led to the block. However, I am unwilling to unblock you yet, for two reasons: (1) An editor posted to you about marking edits as minor, both giving a brief explanation of what counts as minor and linking to a help page about minor editors, in case you wanted further information. Since you ignored messages about it, you were blocked. Even then, in your unblock request you indicate that you have no idea whatever what counts as a minor edit, suggesting that you still had not read the message. Not only does that give no encouragement to expect that you will in future understand what is and what is not minor, but it also gives no encouragement to think that you will take on board what you are told in messages. (2) The part of your unblock request beginning "Also, in my opinion, I should not be blocked because..." appears to indicate that you think that so long as an you do useful work in some respects, you are exempt from Wikipedia's policies, guidelines, etc, in other respects. I suggest that you make another unblock request, in which you make it clear that (a) you will not mark as "minor" edits which are not minor (if in doubt, just don't mark any), (b) you understand that you need to comply with all of Wikipedia's accepted standards, and (c) in future you will take note of messages from other editors expressing concerns about your editing, replying if appropriate, and actually reading what they say. If you can do that, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be unblocked. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

If you didn't understand what a minor edit is, why didn't you ask? For clarification, I posted this above when I first warned you about making all your edits as minor.

Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor".

Some of your edits are minor, but you make many that are not and are marked as if they are. My suggestion would be to stop marking any edits as minor. The other problem is that you don't communicate with editors that have concerns. There are 29 sections above where editors have concerns and the unblock above is the only time you have edited this page. If you are willing to stop marking edits as minor and willing to talk to other editors about the concerns they have I will unblock you. -- GB fan 15:53, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Now, after some time, I have completely understood the meaning of a minor edit and a major edit. I actually am still editing Wikipedia through different IP addresses, and I am tired of going through some processes I have to make editing without logging in and being unable to edit some pages because it can only be edited by auto-confirmed users. I am also willing to not mark non-minor edits as minor and I think that some articles need to be really cleaned up, but is not edited by anyone. I also promise not to vandalize any article/s here in Wikipedia and will try my best to be a good Wikipedia editor and to my fellow users.

Decline reason:

You're committed sockpuppetry by using the IP addresses to edit Wikipedia now. When you are blocked, you are not allowed to edit Wikipedia (aside from your talk page) via any account, including IPs. I'm declining this so you can further acquaint yourself with our policies. only (talk) 02:35, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Please note that editing through IP addresses while your named account is blocked is considered block evasion per WP:EVASION. this is highly frowned upon and likely to get you into even more hot water. You will need to cease IP editing if you wish to be unblocked. Blackmane (talk) 01:33, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Archie a9, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
