Speedy deletion nomination of French 11th Corps

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on French 11th Corps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Matty.007 13:29, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply


Status and Advice

edit

As reviewing administrator, I did not delete, for the context is clear: its a unit in the French army, but you must be more specific. Add some content immediately., please, or it will be deleted. DGG ( talk ) 14:05, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

ALERT! please stop making article frameworks and write some content

edit

It's not really helpful to make articles that are essentially blank. You really do have to add some content. AT the very least, the relevant dates and a reference--and you should certainly try to go beyond that. If you want to start several at a time, just don;t press the submit button until they're actually ready.

There is in fact a criterion by which they could be deleted immediately, as essentially empty articles just repeating the name of the subject, I haven't done that now, because I want to give you a chance to fill them in. But you must do so. I will consider deleting any not improved in another day or so, but another admistrator might very well decide to do this earlier. DGG ( talk ) 14:16, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Problem: starting Wikipedia pages with no actual content. Solution: just ask!

edit

Hi TorpetLegionary, and thank you for your enthusiasm in creating new Wikipedia pages (called "articles" in Wikipedia jargon). But just stop for a little while, OK?
Please read what Matty.007 wrote on the French 11th Corps "Talk page". You have to add some "content" - like "the French 11th Corps were a unit of the French Army that fought in that battle of (battle name) in (date) of the (war name) - or those pages are going to be very speedily deleted.
If you are interested in Military History, I would strongly recommend you go straight to WikiProject Military history, and read it thoroughly before you start another article.
Any questions? Ask Matty.007, at WP:MILHIST, or me, or at any of the many places that are here to help you build Wikipedia. We are all here to help! Pete aka --Shirt58 (talk) 14:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please do some reading and research

edit

TorpetLegionary, please do take a little break before starting any more articles. Read the WP:MILHIST guidelines, do some research and find references for the pages you would like start. This is a very gentle warning. --Shirt58 (talk) 17:00, 26 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Order of battle for the Battle of France may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "[]"s and 2 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Victor Bourret

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 Victor Bourret 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 person or group of people, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Jinkinson talk to me 21:12, 2 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcel Garchery

edit

Hello TorpetLegionary,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marcel Garchery 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. Tco03displays (talk) 21:29, 2 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Regarding Speedy Deletion
Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.
I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.
Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written about the subject.
Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.
Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.
If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard to guide you through the creation process.

CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED.

Please see the following links that will be helpful in editing.

Nomination of 1st Carabinier Regiment for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 1st Carabinier Regiment 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/1st Carabinier Regiment 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 high-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 notice from the top of the article. The Banner talk 22:45, 14 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of 41st Army Corps (France)

edit
 

The article 41st Army Corps (France) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources, no notability claim and virtually no info either.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —♦♦ AMBER(ЯʘCK) 20:44, 3 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Edits to Greek and Roman articles

edit

Please stop changing era styles from BC and AD to BCE and CE. Per MOS:ERA, these styles should not be arbitrarily changed from one to the other, where used consistently in an article; also note that most Greek and Roman articles consistently use BC and AD. Also please avoid adding "Consul Prior" and "Consul Posterior" to biographical articles and Roman gentes; this distinction is of extremely limited importance, and is often merely inferred from the order in which names are recited in ancient sources. It has little or no relevance outside of the list of Roman consuls. Note that most articles treat "consul" and other Roman magistracies as a common noun; in some cases words like this may be capitalized in some articles and not in others (for instance, mentions of the Roman senate may or may not capitalize "senate"), but as long as it is done logically and consistently in an article, it is not necessary to change the established style in each article. P Aculeius (talk) 15:16, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

You asked about the Manual of Style. This is a guide to general policies for editing Wikipedia articles, and contains links to other pages with more details. It's not necessary to become an expert who can quote all of these policies without looking them up, and it's not horrible if you run afoul of something technical you didn't notice or a specialized policy you haven't read yet. But glancing over this page and some of the related ones (there's a lot of help available to editors of all skill and experience levels) will help you avoid conflicts with other editors. Note that the Manual of Style and other Wikipedia policies aren't bludgeons; there are exceptions to most policies, and many individual projects have their own written or unwritten standards (as is the case with WikiProject Classical Greece and Rome).
My focus is on Roman biographical articles, especially gentes, (although I do write on individuals and institutions, and some topics outside of Classics), so I'm likelier than most editors to encounter your work. If in doubt as to a change, you may discuss it on each article's talk page by adding a new section using the tab at the top of the page, and asking for input on your suggestion. Not all suggestions receive feedback; that may mean that nobody has strong feelings about it, or that nobody is actively watching the page in question. When replying to someone else's comment, you can indent your reply using colons ( : ) at the beginning, so that it can be quickly identified as replies to previous comments. When you post on talk pages (including user talk pages, such as this one), it's polite to "sign" your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end. This adds a link to your user and talk pages, as well as the time and date you left the message. This makes it easier to tell who's talking in a discussion, and when he or she replied. Note that you don't have to do this with all edits, since article histories do this automatically. These procedures are for talk pages, such as this one, which is yours. I hope this helps you improve your work. Happy editing! P Aculeius (talk) 15:47, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Answer; I have a passion for Roman history but my sloppy editing was in hindsight inattentive and I'm grateful that you notified me on this matter. I will come back to your reply here since there's a lot of valuable information, again thank you. If there's anything I'm wondering about when writing about the Roman (or ancient era) might I contact you for some guidance and ideas?

March Madness 2017

edit

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.
