Speedy deletion nomination of Play-i

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 Play-i 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 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:26, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Play-i Logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Play-i Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:42, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to WP:WPCB

The link WP:WPCB is a shortcut to the main page for WikiProject Contract Bridge and that linkname works in the search box.

Regarding biography pages for international bridge players, who have WBF playing records, you will find template {{WBFpeople}} useful. I see you have edited Bobby Levin, which is a good source for code I have used to cite WBF people pages both in-line with formal references and in section External links. (It's a good source mainly because I cited the records of Jill Levin and Nick Nickell, who are not the biography subject, but I believe it's also one of rather few biographies with a formal reference to WBF.)

We also have template for citing the encyclopedia OEB formally, namely {{OEB}}, and for linking the glossary Bridge terms conveniently, namely {{gcb}}. These three templates are rather well documented.

User:Newwhist may be the author of more than half of all WPCB work in the last couple years, and must be the author of more than 90% of work on the "Project" pages.

New bridge articles seem to show up here in various ways but I encourage you to add a listing at WP:WPCB#Articles requiring attention in column three, Newest Articles Created or Substantially Improved. (I don't know that anyone does list substantial improvements or that we should do so.) I updated the People sections of columns two and three "recently" --and rarely or never visit most sections of the box.

A tag has been placed on Carolyn Lynch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 deleted without delay.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Peter Lynch into Carolyn Lynch. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:24, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
