Speedy deletion nomination of Colston Westbrook
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 Colston Westbrook 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 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 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. DGG ( talk ) 09:26, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Deletion discussion about Joe Remiro
editHello, Emihemi,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Joe Remiro should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Remiro .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, MB298 (talk) 02:48, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Please don't do it. It's getting there. Gimme a break!Emihemi (talk) 03:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
November 2015
editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Joe Remiro has been reverted.
Your edit here to Joe Remiro was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://forum.prisonplanet.com/index.php?topic=150154.0) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Emihemi/Colston Westbrook a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Status and Advice
edit- As reviewing administrator, I did not delete the article this time. The material added is quite interesting, and it certainly passes A7, and probably will pass AfD, if anyone brings it to a discussion there. I'm glad you persevered with it. It does still need some improvement. First, adjectives of praise or importance must be removed, unless they can be justified by a good 3rd part reference. http://www.forevermissed.com/c is not a reliable source in the sense we use it here, but it can be used for the routine uncontroversial facts of his life, unless it is challenged. Second, the writing is too personal--it resembles a WP:MEMORIAL more than an encycopedia article. Third, his academic career needs more clarity: an exact list of positions in chronological order, and a list of any publications. There;'s material in the bio I can not verify, such as the PhD. Fourth, as you well know, the material with respect to the SLA is controversial; are there any more recent works on the suhject covering his role? DGG ( talk ) 00:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
As I said, it still needs work. Slowly hoping to replace most forever missed citations, particularly anything subjective. It was a good starting point due to full bio. PhD is verifiable, have seen it in a few places. I will keep digging.Emihemi (talk) 00:34, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
SLA research
editJust wondering if you have any intention of publishing your research into the SLA on an external website/blog. Considering how often the SLA article and other related articles on here seem to get edited down or deleted, it would be a shame were this to happen to any of your comprehensive edits.
It would be great if I could talk to you privately at some stage about all this, too, as I have never met anyone else as interested in this topic before, however I dont really understand wiki talk page business works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.23.53.239 (talk) 07:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi there,
- I've thought about it, but just too busy at this stage. I'd still like to add quite a bit more to Wikipedia if I get time. I wasn't aware there was a history of SLA stuff getting deleted. I have had to put forward the case against deletion to some admins on here, but in fairness they were generally worried about vague citations, which I've tried to fix up.
- I'm not too good on the talk pages myself. I think I have all the protocols wrong. I'm not sure how to get in touch privately without putting my contact details all over Wikipedia. Let me know if you can think of a way. You seem to be in Qld?Emihemi
