Speedy deletion of Michael Burgess
A tag has been placed on Michael Burgess 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Balliol rhyme, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 21:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Dalvey
You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
The article Dalvey has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 11:09, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. andy (talk) 12:15, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Cagliost! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 5 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Robert Sledge - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Anthony Browne (UK politics) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

The article Bruce Caldwell (economic historian) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Rettetast (talk) 06:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Kim Il-sung, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit.

Copyright violation at Quentin Crewe
You can't just copy text from newspapers and paste it into Wikipedia. You have to rewrite it in your own words, and you can't just change one or two words. I have stubbed Quentin Crewe to remove the copyright violations. In the future, you should use inline citations, such as <ref>...</ref>, to support text that you add, especially in a biography (biographies of living people have stricter requirements). In order to cite the same source multiple times, you can use named references, like <ref name=nyt>...</ref>. Then, when you need to use the reference again, you can cite it with <ref name=nyt/>. Remember that you must use your own words when you write an article. If you wish to use direct quotations, you can use <quote></quote> or quotation marks: Jane Journalist of The New York Times called the book "a triumphant return to form". If you choose to paraphrase someone else's words, you must give attribution: According to Jane Journalist of The New York Times, the book was a return to form for the author. After each of these statements, you would need to include a citation, of course. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:44, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
- I've already warned you once about this. Do not add back your original text. Not only is it plagiarism, it is a copyright violation. You have changed a few words per sentence from the original NYT and Independent articles, and that is not enough. If you continue to add copyrighted text, you can be blocked. All you need to do is follow the instructions that I've stated above. In order to avoid plagiarism issues, give attribution. In order to avoid copyright issues, use your own phrasing. Don't just substitute a few words here and there in their sentences. You should also cite your sources properly; uncited information can be challenged and removed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:25, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
The article Battle of Al Waki Market has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unremarkable skirmish, no assertion of notability.
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. TheLongTone (talk) 16:42, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Cagliost. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, List of places named after places, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

Hi, I'm UNSC Luke 1021. Cagliost, thanks for creating Newport Street Gallery!

Comment left on Talk Page
You left a spurious comment on my talk page indicating "Thank you for some of your contributions so far, however, some other of your contributions do not meet Wikipedia's guidelines. It is good to discuss an article on its Talk page, with the aim of improving the article, but not to discuss the subject more generally.". Clearly, not providing any indication or example of what the offending contribution was seems a little odd - would you care to give some examples to see if there is a general trend?

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Bloomberg London. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have been politely asked before to use sources when you add content to Wikipedia. Continuing to add content without sources is disruptive and can result in you being blocked. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand how sources are supposed to be used on Wikipedia. - MrX 14:42, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Article of Benedict Wells
Hi Cagliost, I just thought it's better to discuss here :-) Like I wrote, I totally can see your point. But I hope you understand my point too? Since it is my life it is very important for me that my decision is reasoned correctly, especially an important one like this one. And "he doesn't want to be associated with" is just not it, there are important parts missing. I also changed my name right after High School, but this process took time and I'm not sure if it was exactly 19 or a bit later. Best! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Libuda84 (talk • contribs) 13:05, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
- I'm sympathetic to your situation and desire for privacy. Claims on Wikipedia have to be sourced, and secondary sources are preferred to primary sources. So ideally claims about your intentions should be in a newspaper article rather than your personal website. For example, you added a claim about your American ancestry. It would be nice if there was some explanation of this on your personal website, but even better if it was explained in a third-party source. cagliost (talk) 13:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your quick reply, Cagliost, and for your understanding. I also saw your post on my talk section now and answered it. The thing with intentions on print articles is a bit tricky here since I usually try to avoid to talk with newspapers about my family. Because I don't want to sell books with these headlines and private topics, but with the stories I write itself. This is why I wrote the text on my homepage to make my decision clear without selling books with it. So I understand that a third party source is better, but it can't be more true than my homepage text. Libuda84 (talk) 14:27, 18 February 2021 (UTC) P.S. Thank you for your edits. If there is anything unclear with my page in the future you can always write into my talk section. Best wishes! Libuda84 (talk) 14:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Cut and paste between articles - you need to do it properly
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Variable-pitch propeller (marine) into Variable-pitch propeller (aeronautics). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Young Royals (Netflix). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Young Royals (TV series). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Young Royals (TV series). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 deleted 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Babar Suhail (talk) 16:01, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

- Hello Adakiko. I do not know this user or users.
- You say the user is banned from Wikipedia but I don't see them mentioned on the official Wikipedia:LTA page yet. Instead you provide a link to someone's user page, which says a LTA report is still under construction.
- The edit in question does not appear abusive. cagliost (talk) 20:15, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

- Please format/indent/thread your talk WP:THREAD - I indented yours above.
- Editors in the Brescia area have been making wp:disruptive edits and wp:personal attacks on Dutton as well as similar articles and have been blocked numerous times. I would suggest that you review page history. IPs do change and there are numerous IPs in the Brescia area. The fact 79.21.97.65 is not on the list would likely be the rule and not the exception. I would suggest you discuss this with Beyond My Ken (talk · contribs) Adakiko (talk) 21:01, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know about the Brescia editor. I agree with you reverting their edits to the article, which weren't constructive. However the edit on talk page is, I believe, constructive, and not abusing anyone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this user is not in fact banned from Wikipedia. If you think an IP ban or some other ban is justified, please pursue it. Regards, cagliost (talk) 21:08, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

IMHO, an edit summary of "Moved references to articles" is barely explanatory. Is there a WP:MoS policy about your preferred style of referencing? Paul W (talk) 20:39, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Apologies, I was misremembering Wikipedia:Disambiguation#References, which doesn't apply. Nonetheless I think the same logic applies, and I think it is better to avoid cluttering the page with many references of tangential relevancy. I think it would be better to have a short list of particularly notable/relevant alumni (e.g. Eric Liddell), with a reference about them being the most notable/relevant, and put the rest on either a separate article or just rely on the category. Eton College doesn't list all alumni on the main article. cagliost (talk) 16:17, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

Richard and Maurice McDonald
Hi. I have reverted your addition of birth dates to the Lead section of the Richard and Maurice McDonald article, because they were not accompanied by citations of reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources. I understand that you're a veteran editor, and that it's possible you added it because you saw those dates in the article's Infobox, but I thought I'd point out that information was also uncited, as another editor added it without citations two days before you did. I've noticed it's somewhat common for editors to add material to one part of an article for this reason, which is why I'd request/suggest, from one veteran editor to another, that we double-check the portion of the article that contains the initial info before adding it to another one. Thanks, and Happy Holidays. Nightscream (talk) 20:59, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
