Turkish-Lebanese relations
editWhen removing a prod you have to either have corrected the problem, or explain why you find the prod inappropriate. Since you've done nothing to correct the problem, why do you feel the prod doesn't apply? Ironholds (talk) 18:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- You have again removed a prod without an explanation. I am nominating the articles for deletion under WP:AFD. Ironholds (talk) 18:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Don't Stop Believin'
editHi there. Saw you made a contribution, adding prog rock genre, that was quickly reverted. I just wanted to encourage you to go to the talk page and defend you edit. Call this edit war prevention. --Leodmacleod (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry to undo you, but that source just doesn't meet the standards for reliable sources. Take a look over the standards. I'm sure you can find something better out there. --Leodmacleod (talk) 05:36, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Point of view
editI've checked out your recent contributions and have had to reverse some. I think it might be beneficial for you to read up on Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy as well. --Leodmacleod (talk) 06:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Colchester121891! I have reverted this edit to the article, as the source given is not only not acceptable, but does not support the claim of progressive rock. I notice that you had made the same edit less than a month ago, and the explanation as to why this is not acceptable according to WP:RS was explained to you. Waiting weeks or months between re-insertion of the same contested material is not advisable. If you have a reliable source that backs up your claim, by all means utilize it. Please refrain from inserting the same unsourced material for a third time. Thank you, and Happy Editing! Doc9871 (talk) 21:16, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Greetings
editGreetings Colchester121891 - thanks for your edits to articles on drummers. Trouble is that the link you are providing as a reference is that of a blog, and as such is not a reliable enough source for Wikipedia. I used it myself once, and had to undo. Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
- Nothing's changed in the past month; that blog is still not a reliable source. Please stop putting it in articles. Cheers. Radiopathy •talk• 23:58, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Sources
editI came here to discuss your use of sources in articles and found warnings going back to January regarding your use of sources. Not seeing where you've answered on your talk page I looked at your contributions and it appears that you've never posted to any talk page. Seriously, this cannot continue. I see a lot of gnomish work in your contributions and would like to see more of the same positive effort, but if you continue adding non-reliable sources or misquoting information it could lead to problems for you. Many editors have offered you their advice and their help; do yourself a favor and take them up on it. Please take more care in your work and avoid citing sources until you've acquainted yourself with WP:Reliable sources. Regards Tiderolls 21:41, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
December 2010
editWelcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Bitches Brew has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. If you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the guidelines on citing sources and the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 20:07, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

editYou can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Wiki libs (talk) 03:37, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
BLP categories
editRegarding your edit at Faran Tahir, please do not add religious, ethnic, or descent categories to biography articles without first ensuring that 1) the category is supported by sourced article content and 2) the individual identifies as such. Please see WP:EGRS/WP:BLPCAT for additional information. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 14:33, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Citing sources
editRegarding your recent edit ([1]) at Geddy Lee, please take the time to review Wikipedia's instructions for citing sources at WP:INCITE. Also, since the content you added doesn't relate directly to Geddy Lee's bass guitar equipment, I encourage you to consider a better place in the article for incorporating the information you added. In the meantime I've relocated it to the article's Discussion page.—Biosketch (talk) 03:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

editPlease refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Strange Days. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus.

The article Christine Rousselle has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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 seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Christine Rousselle
editIf 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 Christine Rousselle 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
