Proposed deletion of Foley's Peak

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Foley's Peak, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Qur'an desecration has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 19:48, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Qur'an constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 19:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to 2005 Qur'an desecration controversy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 19:49, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding talk pages, as well as "Qur'an" and "Koran"

When you tried to leave Snowolf a message, you left it on his user page, instead of his talk page. I've moved it, but from now on, please leave messages on talk pages, not user pages.

Also, Koran is an outdated spelling of Qur'an, like Shiite instead of Shi'a, or Mohammedianism. Your changes to the article Qur'an messed up the titles of some sources, and your changes to 2005 Qur'an desecration controversy messed up quoted statements. Ian.thomson (talk) 22:22, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

No, please see the manual of style, Wikipedia:MOSISLAM#Qur.27an. If you want to change it, debate it on that talk page and reach consensus there, don't go around changing all the spellings to the version you prefer. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 02:23, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Agreed, Qur'an is the preferred spelling on wikipedia.VR _talk 09:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello all, Point taken about inserting changes. However, It’s actually not correct to say that "Koran" is outdated. As far as I can ascertain, Koran is still the accepted spelling in English. Other variations of "Koran", of which there are many, are also used. "Qur'an" is just one attempt to reflect the Arabic origin of the name and is merely a variant of the original English spelling. Therefore in my opinion, it is not valid to now impose this new, non-universally agreed, spelling over the traditionally used one.

You're the only person pushing for the spelling Koran. Consider that for a moment. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:03, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Guinness R.F.C. for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Guinness R.F.C. is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guinness R.F.C. until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gnevin (talk) 23:06, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Women in Islam. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Silvrous ^Talk 13:21, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm GimliDotNet. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Stop Islamisation of Europe seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. GimliDotNet ^{(Speak to me,Stuff I've done)} 10:57, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree. I note your earlier attempt to describe the SPLC as left-wing, and anyone who thinks the British Labour Party is left-wing isn't familiar with British politics. Left-centrist at best. And when did David Cameron, leader of the Tory party, become left-wing? (if you don't know what I'm referring to then maybe you need to be more careful about your edits). You can't call Unite Against Fascism left-wing. And "many come from Left -wing political parties and pressure groups." had no source, just 2 examples. Dougweller (talk) 12:54, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Emmetfahy. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority 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.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Citing sources correctly

Hello! I've looked through your contributions (is that a weird thing to do? I don't know) to see if I could improve a few. This is mostly regarding the two edits you've made to 129th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht) (this one and this one) and I noticed that you just kind of copy-pasted a link at three different points of the article. Now, it should be done differently. As you've probably noticed, sources usually go something like this:

Men, Fletcher M. (2008). Constitutional Development in the South Atlantic States, 1776–1860: A Study in the Evolution of Democracy.Chapel Hill, North Carolina: University of North Carolina Press. ISBN 978-1-58477-928-5.

That was a complicated example but you get my point, I hope. I suggest you read Wikipedia:Citing sources to improve your citing-skills. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia (I have a few hundred edits), so I'm not particularly good at citing sources correctly 100% of the time either, but I hope you learned something from this.

Please remember that this isn't backlash or me trying to be sound like a super experienced admin, just feedback :) - Biscuit-in-Chief ^{I'd love to hear your feedback :-)}

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, you may be blocked from editing. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 17:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello Maddy. Is that not how Izzard would self-describe? Where was the vandalism? Is it just that you disagree with anyone questioning such self-imposed identities?

And, can your reversion be appealed to Wikipedia? Emmetfahy (talk) 12:05, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Your comments about people's gender identities have no place in Wikipedia. There is no "Wikipedia" to appeal to; article content is determined by consensus of interested editors. If you think you can convince others that yours is an appropriate addition, you are welcome to post to Talk:Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull and explain your position. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 15:29, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hello, I'm Rhain. I noticed that you changed the personal pronouns of an individual in the article Jex Blackmore. Wikipedia refers to all people, including transgender and nonbinary people, by the pronouns they have most recently requested for themselves; this applies to all phases of their lives, unless they have requested otherwise. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 10:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
