Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Dilla, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. (For example: where did you obtain the population figure?) Gyrofrog (talk) 17:19, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dilla, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Also: the reference section you added has no apparent relation to the text.

Speedy deletion nomination of ديلا

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 ديلا requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Wilbysuffolk Talk to me 11:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Dilla, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, reduces edit conflicts, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 15:03, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

• I'm not sure whether the rest of your edits are constructive, but I know the capitalization of the word 'town' is not. Please stop. Thank you, 76.248.149.98 (talk) 14:01, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.

You appear to be changing sourced material, and removing references, without explanation. 76.248.149.98 (talk) 14:06, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

February 2012

Your addition to Dilla has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Gyrofrog (talk) 04:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Dilla, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are repeatedly posting content that evidently originates from another website. (For example, see Google search.) Please see Wikipedia's policy regarding copyrighted material (Wikipedia:Copyright violations). Gyrofrog (talk) 20:06, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Lughaya may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 09:24, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Gyrofrog. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Awdalland, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Water Consulting

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Global Water Consulting, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. 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. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 20:09, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jamal Abdullahi Amin

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 Jamal Abdullahi Amin 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 "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.

Proposed deletion of Awdalland

The article Awdalland has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The bulk of the article (demographics section) is identical to that of the "Awdal" page. Moreover, contains poor citations throughout. For example, 1) Citation 1 makes no reference to "Awdalland" and it being a "former region". 2) No citation for the claim that "Awdalland (also spelled Adelland) takes its name from the Adel Sultanate". 3) Citation 4 is unreliable as it links to a Somali news tabloid website. 4)Citation 5 links to a Japanese website irrelevant to the article. 5) Though some sources touch on Awdalland, a Google Books search returns very limited results for "Awdalland" [1], thus may not qualify for notability in the sense of gaining "sufficiently significant attention by the world". Therefore, this article should be deleted due to lack of relevance and unreliable citations.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
