Speedy deletion nomination of Stanisław Ryszard Dobrowolski

edit
 

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 Stanisław Ryszard Dobrowolski 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, 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 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.

Status and Advice

edit
As reviewing administrator, of course I did not delete the article. The extensive article in the Polish WP makes the notability clear. But people checking articles atthhe enWP are often careless, and it is a good idea to translates something more substantial than the very short paragraph you wrote, even at the first edit.

It's also a good idea to copy over at least some of the references. The references templates from one WP usually do not work in another, and it is sometimes simpler to just add at least the key sources as plain text. I added a Russian one from the ruWP to get things started. DGG ( talk ) 21:50, 31 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Doug Weller. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Jürgen Graf, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 16:47, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I shall add the source ASAP. It's a well-known fact, it was either a German or Russian media interview with him where he himself admitted this.Polska jest Najważniejsza (talk) 16:48, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Conservative women rabbis

You know just as well as I do that everything needs to be sourced in the articles. Alas, your wikilink does not qualify as such. I had every right to insert this CN tag, the removal of that with an emotional comment was an issue, rather than the insertion of it. Cf. WP:V. Polska jest Najważniejsza (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Of course I do, just as I know you've been adding material without adding sources. Not a good idea to be advising me on such basic policy, I learned that about 230,000 edits ago. And of course you know I wasn't the one to revert you. Anyway, WP:V also says "If you think the material is verifiable, you are encouraged to provide an inline citation yourself before considering whether to remove or tag it." There are clearly reliable sources available from those two articles, and if you want to be considered a good editor you need to try to source something so easily sourceable. Although I see you simply didn't believe a women could be a conservative rabbi. Doug Weller talk 13:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Hello Polska jest Najważniejsza! Your additions to Catholic Church sexual abuse cases in Europe have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 18:08, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Please note that you need to do more than changing the odd word to make something into a summary. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Hut 8.5 18:52, 7 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Christian fundamentalism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nassau. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Notice

edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in Eastern Europe or the Balkans. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

DYK for Donald McGuire (Jesuit)

edit

On 2 November 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Donald McGuire (Jesuit), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mother Teresa defended Jesuit priest and child molester Donald McGuire against sexual abuse allegations? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Donald McGuire (Jesuit). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Donald McGuire (Jesuit)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
