Speedy deletion nomination of Muntazah Oryx Investments

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 Muntazah Oryx Investments 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 an organization or company, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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.

Multiple Accounts

I've blocked Parisfarmer as being a Sockpuppet of you. Please do not use multiple accounts like this. If you continue to do so you will likely be blocked. Thank you for your cooperation. NativeForeigner Talk 19:27, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Javed Only Lives Once

edit

Hello SFCTID,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Javed Only Lives Once for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Sourov0000 (talk) 10:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Keating Government

edit

Hi, I've just reverted your move of the Keating Government article to Premiership of Paul Keating. The common way of referring to different governments in Australia is to refer to them as the Keating Government, Howard Government, Gillard Government, etc. If you'd like to discuss what the Wikipedia articles on these topics should be called, please start a central discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics‎. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 09:40, 8 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

Agreed - SFCTID, could you please revert other altered articles accordingly. In Australia the term premiership is more commonly associated with state governments. Ozhistory (talk)

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Cathy McGowan (politician). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. Also Please also make sure to add a reliable source that verifies her previous political stance, and whom she worked for.MelbourneStartalk 10:45, 18 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Cathy McGowan (politician) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Moving Australian soccer league system

edit

That is a change that requires discussion. I have reverted it.

There have been several RfCs at Talk:Soccer in Australia, all reaching a consensus that "soccer" is the name for articles about the game within Australia.

Please join discussions at that page if you want. HiLo48 (talk) 07:14, 4 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your edit at A-League

edit

There is a repeatedly achieved consensus at Talk:Soccer in Australia that the name "soccer" will be used for Australian articles.

Can you also please use Edit summaries and post on the article's Talk page when you want to make changes. HiLo48 (talk) 03:26, 2 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:27, 16 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Move of Barramundi

edit

Please note that there is no source that supports your move. This is not a word of Latin origin. Noting that you appear new to Wikipedia, please note that such bold actions may need to be tempered by discussion. I encourage you to state your rationale and supporting references on the talk page. Till that happens, it would be best to retain the status quo that has lasted. Shyamal (talk) 08:40, 3 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Wee Waa, you may be blocked from editing. Messages about "resisting the lizard people" and invalid redirections undermine the hard work put in by many editors. Gronk Oz (talk) 14:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:HiLo48. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 03:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make personal attacks on other people, as you did at User talk:HiLo48. Comment on content, not on fellow editors. --- Barek (talkcontribs) - 03:35, 29 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

November 2015

  This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Sepp Blatter, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 10:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for contravening Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  NeilN talk to me 10:15, 5 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
