User talk:Devereux1978

Welcome!

Hello, Devereux1978, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Eleh, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! 331dot (talk) 18:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Eleh

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 Eleh 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 band or musician, but it does not 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 18:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tales of Space and Time has been reverted.
Your edit here to Tales of Space and Time was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vplrW-SJb_g) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hello, I'm XLinkBot. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Rebecca Morelle, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links.
Your edit here to Rebecca Morelle was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/rebeccamorelle) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert.

Proposed deletion of James Rutledge

The article James Rutledge has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable musician, speedy declined. Giving creators a week to fix the poor sourcing.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 18:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ueshiba

Just by way of further explaining since you are new. It often happens that editors put in what they consider an interesting factoid which is jumped on by others because it disturbs the overall flow of an article - this certainly happens for more mature articles like Ueshiba. It certainly was not meant to diminish your contribution.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:34, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion discussion about Richard Smith (artist)

Hello, Devereux1978,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Richard Smith (artist) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Smith (artist) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Itsalleasy (talk) 19:48, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well done for creating this article on somebody who is, as you say, an important painter. Surprising that there wasn't an article on him, but proper modern art is often badly covered on Wikipedia. Joe Tilson only got an article a couple of months ago.TheLongTone (talk) 23:23, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

...I've stuck in mentions of his retrospective at the Tate, Venice Biennale show & holdings in the Tate & MOMA collections, which should see off this ridiculous nomination for deletion.TheLongTone (talk) 00:39, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:35, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for June 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Echoes of the Marseillaise, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Enlightenment (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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Devereux1978, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to The Novel of the Future has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:41, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I see that you are fairly new here, and that you are not having an entirely easy time. I'm sorry to add to that with the notice above, but I want to be very sure that you understand that our policies do not allow copying of copyright material here. You had more or less edited the text at Novel of the Future to an acceptable point, but I had to remove it anyway. You are welcome to rewrite it, in your own words; please don't add back the same text I've removed. And, on a more general note, please don't be discouraged; the learning curve here is not so much steep as precipitous, but not insuperable. We really need capable editors like you. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:00, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you for your feedbackDevereux1978 (talk) 14:23, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The same considerations also apply to Josephine Kane (which I've just come across), of course. I've removed the non-free text instead of (as I would normally do) requesting speedy deletion. Except that there's more: the problem there is that, as the page stands, there is nothing whatsoever to indicate that she is notable by our standards for academics. To demonstrate notability you will need to add a good number of independent reliable sources that discuss her or her work. And I don't want to be alarmist, but you probably need to do so quite quickly, or the article will not survive. It's a quite different situation from, say, the Nin book, which has been widely quoted and discussed in learned literature, and so is incontrovertibly notable. Biography is not an easy area to work in here, and biography of living people is particularly tough (mostly for a lot of very good reasons). Please feel free to ask, here if you like, if ever you have questions or would like advice. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:56, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Right I see, thank youDevereux1978 (talk) 19:01, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Boell

Thanks for the great improvements to the article!

Just a small comment (cf. here): the reference at the influences section links to something like a mirror page of Wikipedia (i,e, to a copy of itself), so it is not such a good reference. I believe it is possible to find a ref. for the comparison to Greene and Bernanos in one of the monographs on Boell; on the other hand, parts such as "He was deeply affected..." would be somewhat hard to reference.
