Speedy deletion nomination of Nervous Energy Records
[edit]
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 Nervous Energy Records, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi. This month The Women in Red World Contest is being held to try to produce new articles for as many countries worldwide and occupations as possible. There is over £3000 in prizes to win, including Amazon vouchers and paid subscriptions. Wikimedia UK is putting up £250 specifically for editors who produce the most quality new women bios for British women, with special consideration given to missing notable biographies from the Oxford Dictionary of Biography and Welsh Dictionary of Biography. If you're not interested in prize money yourself but are willing to participate independently this is also fine, but please add any articles created to the bottom of the main contest page even if not competing. Your participation in the contest and contributing articles on British women from your area or wherever would we much appreciated. Thanks.

Disambiguation link notification for July 16
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Central Hill Estate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Open House. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:43, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
Citations needed
[edit]You seem to have a particular interest in adding "citations needed" to numerous statements across several articles. While I agree that more reliable citations are (nearly) always welcome. The need to request tham is probably limited to contentious statements that might othwise be false. However at Holyhead you requested citations for the statement that South Stack on the other side of Holyhead Mountain and is open to the public. and The Anglesey section was financed through a Private Finance Initiative scheme. and The Welsh name, Caergybi, derives from the fortification around which the town developed. I would suggest that none of these statements are contentious and all probably easily sourced by a quick on-line search. Adding CN tags without good cause just causes work for others when it it is often easier simply to sort out the issue yourself. I notice that you have taken a similar approach at Tourism in Uttar Pradesh. This is especially odd when your user page asserts your interests include citation hunt? Is there an easy explanation that I am missing? Velella Velella Talk 16:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Ok that makes sense sorry! I'll endeavor to find them myself and tag only for contentious issues. thanks for pointing it out.~~~~ Rhagfyr (talk) 16:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Rhagfyr (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I went to a local library in Islington, north London and tried to edit using the communal computers whilst logged into my account and it says the IP (I imagine a webhost) is blocked. I would both like to be able to to edit wikipedia here and also think it would be beneficial for other Wikimedians who may wish to edit at this location. I believe the IP address is 62.140.192.0/19
Decline reason:
The library appears to be using a webhost. You may request an IP block exemption by following the instructions at WP:IPECPROXY. 331dot (talk) 22:06, 11 January 2023 (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.

Editing news 2023 #1
[edit]Read this in another language • Subscription list for this newsletter
This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Please add a post to the article's talk page linking to wherever the requested move was made so the sequence of events is clear to other editors. Thanks. Schazjmd (talk) 15:45, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
[edit]|

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Your submission at Articles for creation: South East Library Management System (September 23)
[edit]
- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:South East Library Management System and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
- Hi Stuartyeates - only 4 of 11 sources are primary sources, the first source is DCMS (UK Government) and others include professional journals and newspapers, independent of the subject. 6 WP editors have contributed to this article. Therefore given these two factors, I believe there is a significant interest in it being published and sources prove to be notable. Any more suggestions? Rhagfyr (talk) 11:45, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
