Im quite new to wikipedia, and this was my first attempt to create a page. I followed all guidelines to create it. Im not so tech savy, and did my best. The organization has shut down, and the township has purchased the property. the church stands and cemetery and memorials,. monuments exist on its premises. 2019. You can search the web and find 100s of references, and even bruce springsteen performed one of his first performances here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rova Farms

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 Rova Farms, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Praxidicae (talk) 14:42, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

The usual criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia is explained here. Very basically, we only summarise information that's already published in reliable sources that're independent of the subject. We do this to ensure both that our information is verifiable, and that it can be written neutrally. If you have any questions, please ask. Cheers, WilyD 15:40, 11 December 2019 (UTC)

I moved the page to User:Valcot2018/Rova Farms, where you should have more time to work on it before others start judging it. Cheers, WilyD 05:54, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gulfport, Florida, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:20, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

The 'reliable' sources as you requested, are linked to wikipedia pages on the individuals... there are (were) hyperlinks to each name. so you mean to state, that wikipedia is not reliable?

Wikipedia articles cannot be used as sources, per WP:CIRC. Neither can gravestones you looked at in a cemetery someplace. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:17, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Valcot2018, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Luba Marks 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. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• 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 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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. — Diannaa (talk) 17:08, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Vandalism at Igor Danchenko

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Igor Danchenko. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Since 2010, Danchenko has been a consultant/analyst on political risk and business intelligence, managing projects on Russia and Eurasia. Danchenko has been quoted by media outlets on topics ranging from energy politics to defense matters.

Read this: Right-wing columnist and attorney Andrew C. McCarthy reacted to what he described as the "if not irrational, then exaggerated" reactions to these reports by Trump supporters. He urged them to be cautious as John Durham's "indictments narrowly allege that the defendants lied to the FBI only about the identity or status of people from whom they were getting information, not about the information itself. He lied in several ways, including protecting the identity of sources, which is standard practice, but he shouldn't have done that to the FBI. Galkina was his best source, and she is extremely well-connected. Of the many sources whose info was used for the dossier, she was the largest contributor.

I just noticed a typo in my edit summary: "He is a consultant and is only not accused of lying about the identity of a source" so striking it out here. -- Valjean (talk) 17:12, 27 December 2021 (UTC)

Im not vandalizing, nor am I defrauding, and mean no harm. Danchenko is an ANALYST, not a consultant, if he was maybe a part time consultant, or whatever it may be. To create a new CATEGORY that he is THE CONSULTANT on RUSSIA matters, this is somewhat incorrect. There are 1,000s of Russian Consultants who have more acknowledged names. The fact that he was apprehended for falsifying to authorities, prefabricating for that matter, should actually be denounced as anything else.

If you are to check his twitter profile, he states himself as an analyst.. But by far, or definitely should not be singled out as a russian consultant. Thats the better understanding. Valcot2018 (talk) 20:52, December 27, 2021‎ (UTC)

I have done some research and found that he is more often called an "analyst", so I have changed it to that. I have also stricken the vandalism template. Sorry about that. If you still feel the "consultant" category is wrong, feel free to remove it. -- Valjean (talk) 00:34, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

I notice that you once tried to categorize a film as "false evidence", and that was reverted. On what basis did you make that judgment? -- Valjean (talk) 00:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
