  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Silver Nemesis. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Qwyrxian (talk) 16:49, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Silver Nemesis. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:27, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

I don't understand any of this. You are quoting policies about living persons about me when in the information I added I said that Anton Diffring has been dead for over 20 years. Revenge of the Cybermen (talk) 20:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
Ah, but Prince Edward isn't dead, so for him the WP:BLP rules most definitely do apply. Further, if the rules of verifiability be taken literally, Diffring's TV watching habits is information that, to quote the policy, is "likely to be challenged", so any mention of this must be given a reference - whether Diffring is alive or dead is therefore immaterial. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:53, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Doctor Who - The Revenge of the Cybermen

edit

Regarding the article Doctor Who - The Revenge of the Cybermen which you recently created: I have raised a discussion thread at the WikiProject Doctor Who discussion page. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:55, 20 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

To add to this, I have been bold and redirected the article back to the serial. The content guideline Wikipedia:Content forking says:

"A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject. Content forks that are created unintentionally result in redundant or conflicting articles and are to be avoided. As an article grows, editors often create Summary style spin-offs or new, linked article for related material. This is acceptable, and often encouraged, as a way of making articles clearer and easier to manage."

At the moment I believe there is insufficient material on the Novelisation to justify it becoming a new article linked from the main one with only a summary remaining. If you do believe you have, or can assemble sufficient material, on the novelisation to create an article of reasonable size then I would recommend either:
a) that you assemble it within your "sandbox" or a sandbox or temporary page off the article - that would allow you maximum leeway to draft and rearrange the article until ready to be used.
or
b) include the material within the subsection of the article until such times as it becomes large enough to spin-off - don't forget referencing as you go.

If you disagree with my redirection of the article, you can undo my edit through the article history. We can discuss the matter either here, my talk page or at the discussion on the Doctor Who project page. I would recommend the last as being most visible for other editors to contribute their views.

AfD Nomination: Base under siege

edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Base under siege meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Base under siege. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. WikiuserNI (talk) 16:26, 27 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
