Wikipedia is not censored

Thank you for the content you added to Seven Dwarfs (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). It's an important perspective for us to document in that article, and I'm surprised that we didn't till now. Just so you know, though: Wikipedia is not censored, so when adding a quote containing profanity, you should not censor out words like "fuck". Thanks. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 06:39, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for pointing that out! Flaggingwill (talk) 17:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Rachael Leigh Cook edit

I have reverted your addition of a date of birth to Rachael Leigh Cook. In addition to Wikipedia's basic principle of citing sources (Wikipedia:Citing sources), a special need for citations applies with regard to elements of a biography of a living person (WP:BLPPRIVACY). Feel free to add a date of birth when it is accompanied by a citation to a reliable, published source. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

I added it back with a cite to the Minnesota Department of Health's vital records. Flaggingwill (talk) 13:16, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Speedy on Thomas Floyd (politician)

Hello Flaggingwill -- There's a very limited number of situations in which speedy deletion is appropriate, and possible misidentifications of the subject of the article are not among them. Suggest you try WP:Proposed deletion or WP:Articles for deletion. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 18:22, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks — wasn't sure which to pick. Flaggingwill (talk) 18:23, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Craig Cackowski moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Craig Cackowski, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:20, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Craig Cackowski

Hello, Flaggingwill. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Craig Cackowski, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 14:03, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Orphaned non-free image File:Lake Success cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Lake Success cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:33, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
