Speedy deletion of Proximity1
[edit]
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
reply: RE: "Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted." I created a page???
Note: The page I created wasn't a "test." It was apparently flagged and removed before I was even aware of its having been subject to speedy deletion. As soon as I read that it was, I posted reasons why it ought to be maintained as a stub page. Now, I'd like to appeal the page's removal and have it restored. There was a valid and reasonable ground for the creation of a page for "Thomas Whitfield Baldwin" and the ground remains worthy today. Wikipedia should be a place where readers find not only articles about things which are widely-known but also about topics (and people) which are (undeservedly) little known.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas Whitfield Baldwin
[edit]Hello Proximity1,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Thomas Whitfield Baldwin for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

- Hi. There's no reason to email another editor for a simple matter like this. Please read WP:GNG and WP:SCHOLAR. His cite count would not come close to passing Scholar, although he did have a single book with a decent cite count. When you post a very short stub, with little or no referencing, it most likely will be removed. After you read the two above policies/guidelines, and feel that Baldwin meets or surpasses those criteria, contact the admin who deleted the article and ask him to restore it, and then you can work on it. I'm not an admin, so I can't do that. Onel5969 TT me 12:12, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Please read
[edit]
Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding the Shakespeare authorship question, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Tom Reedy (talk) 15:36, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Unusual comments
[edit]Hello Proximity1. Some of your comments at Talk:Shakespeare authorship question suggest that you may not be familiar with how Wikipedia works. In particular, your efforts to ensure that an external link to politiciworm.com is added to the article may cause concern among administrators that you might be engaged in promotional editing. Some of your responses in that thread are less than civil: "I would be ashamed to offer such flimsy excuses.." and "..smoke-screen pseudo-arguments devoid of merit." In the past, articles about Shakespeare authorship have been the target of enthusiastic newcomers to Wikipedia who are eager to set the record straight. You've already been alerted to WP:ARBSAQ per the box above. You should be aware that administrators are prepared to take action if our policies are violated. Let me know if I can answer any questions. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 04:49, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
- Well, we have to know that this topic belongs to those which are very closely controlled. A number of editors has already been banned from English Wikipedia, partially completely and forever. So it is of very limited prospect to write about such fringe theories with enthusiasm. Nice weekend, --Zbrnajsem (talk) 20:14, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Arbitration enforcement request
[edit]See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Proximity1. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:27, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement topic ban
[edit]
The following topic ban now applies to you:
You are topic banned for six months from Shakespeare Authorship Question and related pages, broadly construed.
You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.
This topic ban is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Shakespeare authorship question#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. Please go to WP:TBAN and read the information there to see what a topic ban is. If you do not comply with the topic ban, you may be blocked for an extended period, to enforce the ban.
If you wish to appeal against the ban, please say so below or on my talk page and I will explain how to do it. Bishonen | talk 19:54, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
