References and Edit Summaries[edit]

Hi. Please be aware of WP (Wikipedia) guidelines:

No original research, i.e. content should only be added when accompanied by a reference that verifies the content from an external source.
Please supply an Edit summary (ES) with each edit.

Happy editing, Trafford09 (talk) 13:24, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Wikipedia is not a means of self-publication. -- Ian Dalziel (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Preview[edit]

I made these corrections to your waza additions.

Please would you pay more attention to the section-headers' levels, which you had upset. I've now corrected them, and some spelling. If you set your spell-checker on, it should underline misspellings in red.

I'd suggest using preview, to see what the effects of your edit are, before saving your edits. Thanks, Trafford09 (talk) 13:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Bodegas Faustino[edit]

The article Bodegas Faustino has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No asserted notability

While all 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.

Sandbox[edit]

Hi. You seem to be using your user page - User:Imperator1974 - to build up text for later use. This is not too bad an idea, but there is a better way. Recommended practice is to use a 'sandbox'. A sandbox is a place where you can experiment & indeed build up content (properly cited!), & later copy or move it to where you'd like it to be.

It's easy to create your own sandbox. Here's one just for you: User:Imperator1974/sandbox1.

At the moment, you can see it's red, i.e. empty. If you use it (click on it, then add & save any content), its name will go blue.

A sandbox like that is just a subpage of your own user.

You can create further subpages - User:Imperator1974/sandbox2 and so on - as & when you need them.

Hope this helps? Trafford09 (talk) 19:57, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Whisky and Food[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from Whisky and Food. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps:

Go to the page by clicking this link. Once there, select the button that says Click here to contest this speedy deletion.
This will take you to the talk page, where you can make your case by explaining why the page does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:33, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Whisky and Food. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:43, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Whisky and Food, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:46, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reported to AIV[edit]

Hi Imperator1974, this is a notice to let you know that I have reported your removal of speedy deletion templates at Whisky and Food to administrators. An administrator should assess the report in a short while, and they will take any appropriate actions. Please wait for an administrator before taking any further actions yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for repeatedly removing a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created, despite being told several times that doing so is unacceptable. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

March 2012[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Battle of Mons Graupius, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. part is obviously copied from Mons Graupius AD 83: Rome's Battle at the Edge of the World By Duncan Campbell. Dougweller (talk) 13:58, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please cease adding unsourced commentary to articles. And DO NOT create other accounts to continue your disruptive behavior. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:50, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Avoiding copyright problems[edit]

Hello, and welcome. 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 Wikipedia: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.
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 if 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 visit me at my talk page . Thank you. --Dougweller (talk) 13:51, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the link on close paraphrasing, you might also want to see Wikipedia:Copy-paste. And I note that some of your edits (including those of your sock puppet) have been reverted as unsourced - see WP:NOR. I'm sure there are sources, eg there are loads of sources for Whisky with food which I'm hoping you've read and used but haven't cited. Dougweller (talk) 13:54, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
