Speedy deletion of Frary House
editA tag has been placed on Frary House 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Yavoh 04:41, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of John Paul O'Connor
editIf 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 John Paul O'Connor, 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 or person 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/Business 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.

- You provided no reliable, verifiable, independent sources. His own website and a retail opportunity at his publisher's website do not meet any of the requirements. Cabayi (talk) 16:52, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

November 2018
editHello, Whenelvisdied. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created Jon Padgett has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.
Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.
The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.
If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process.
You may find this tool useful for finding sources: Google custom search
Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too. You can ask for help at the TEAHOUSE
There is more information at Wikipedia:Community_portal Cheers, and happy editing. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:00, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi Whenelvisdied, invite to join RfC -- Request for Comment -- on Bruno Bettelheim
editHi, thanks for participating in last May's RfC.
There's a new one with the specific question of:
- Should our lead sentence describe Bettelheim as a "self-proclaimed psychologist"?
- started: Feb. 25, 2020
Any time and effort you wish to spend on this will be most appreciated. Thanks. FriendlyRiverOtter (talk) 01:14, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for February 27
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bruno Bettelheim, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Symbolic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:01, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
Minor and not-so-minor edits
editHello, I'm BlackcurrantTea. I noticed you've marked two of your recent edits as minor; yet this edit to Twinings Museum and this edit to Rizvi aren't minor. It's an understandable mistake – I often did the same thing when I was starting out here.
The Wikipedia definition of minor is different to what most of us expect. I reviewed Help:Minor edit many times, trying to decide if the changes I was making were minor. It helped me to think of a minor edit as a change that a reader is unlikely to notice (unless it's reverting obvious vandalism: this also counts as minor). Maybe it fixes a typo, or corrects the format of a reference without adding any new information. It doesn't change or add anything very noticeable to the page, and other editors are unlikely to dispute it.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions, you can reply to me here; I'll keep your talk page on my watchlist for a bit. Happy editing! BlackcurrantTea (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads-up--I appreciate the feedback and what you're saying makes sense. I'll be more careful in the future. Whenelvisdied (talk) 20:24, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
