Matthew Cornford[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as Matthew Cornford) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EarthPerson (talk • contribs) 18:26, 15 March 2007

Cornford & Cross[edit]

Please pardon these canned messages, but the say it better than I can.

We appreciate your contributions to the Cornford & Cross article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. For this reason your edits have been reverted or removed. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the information in your own words. If you do, please remember to cite your source(s). For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Thanks. --EarthPerson 20:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --EarthPerson 20:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lastly, I've made some edits to the external links and elsewhere in the article. Please let me know what you think. Cheers. --EarthPerson 20:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

David Cross[edit]

Hi, I reverted your edits to David Cross (disambiguation) and David Cross. It doesn't matter if he is notable outside the US or not. Many articles are topics only notable in the UK for instance, but we don't remove those either. Happy editing, Garion96 (talk) 21:21, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I see what you meant, you actually wanted to have the David Cross on David Cross (actor). Since David Cross has the longer history, that article would have to be moved to [[David Cross (actor). But I think it should just stay the way it is. Garion96 (talk) 21:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The actor named David Cross is internationally notable. The English Wikipedia is not solely an American encyclopedia, yes, but David Cross is an actor who has appeared in several movies that have had impacts outside of the US (not as major roles, but still in them). Other people listed at David Cross (disambiguation) are not as notable, and the article for the actor was on Wikipedia before the others.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:42, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a result of this editwarring, I have blocked you indefinitely, as you have not sought out any other areas of Wikipedia to edit other than to promote the David Cross that you feel has importance.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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:

I am not very sure how to do this, so I will give this a try. This situation is ridiculuous. I am new to the Wikipedia and started a topic page for Cornford+Cross, notable British Artists. It took me a little time but I worked it out. On the first day, as soon as I made one page for Matthew Cornford it was delete before I had even worked out to make a link! I had to make it again. NOW I came back for the second time and discovered someone had changed the page back the same day. I changed it back to work on it and the same person that was changing it at the same time then went and banned me immediately. I can assure you David Cross the actor is not notable in the United Kingdom and I am offended by the accusation this admin makes. I do feel that this must surely be against some rule as it would appear to be a gross misuse of powers. British Contemporary Artists are under very under-represented on the Wikipedia and I fully intended on contributing more.

Decline reason:

You are confused as to our policy on notability. We do not require that someone be notable only in the U.S. or only internationally. If you believe this person is not notable at all, you should nominate the article for deletion instead of engaging in edit warring. Once you have read WP:NOTE, WP:3RR, and WP:DISPUTE and can spell out what you did incorrectly and how you will deal with such disputes in the future, please re-request an unblock. — Yamla 22:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Cornford[edit]

Please do not make articles about a living person that are entirely negative in tone and unsourced. Wikipedia has a policy of verifiability and any negative information we use must be reliably sourced, and our articles must be balanced. Negative unreferenced biographies of living people are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

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.
