Proposed deletion of Richard Irvin (Illinois politician)

edit
 

The article Richard Irvin (Illinois politician) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Richard Irvin (Illinois politician), disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You cannot copy text word-for-word and add it to Wikipedia.

  Hello, I'm LaundryPizza03. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Azerbaijan, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 10:28, 8 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I will try to find a citation and a reliable source for Azerbaijan. – WORLDWAR8 WorldWarIIIIIIII 13:14, 8 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Please excuse my mistake on the article page, RedWarn can be very easy to make mistakes with unfortunately. Uness232 (talk) 01:05, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

What page?, I havent removed a template or any content. WORLDWAR8 WorldWarIIIIIIII (talk) 15:14, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
Podgorica, though in general, I can see in your contributions that you do not provide edit summaries, which are incredibly important tools for explaining what your edits are for; and could help them not get reverted.
As you have not used an edit summary to explain your removal in Podgorica, and as I saw no Wikipedia policy violations to explain the removal, I have reverted your change. Uness232 (talk) 15:32, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Why are you moving your Sandbox around to different locations? It's just causing it to be deleted for being an inappropriate titles. Liz Read! Talk! 02:32, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Correction to previous election announcement

edit

Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:42, 15 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Bundeswehr, you may be blocked from editing. BilCat (talk) 05:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello BilCat,
I seen the citation and I clicked on the "Auftrag der Reserve" and the source clearly said that it is 949,000 and not 29,000. I am not editing disruptively, if you want to challenge this, then please state a clear answer on why I am, otherwise, I do not see any disruptive editing on my part. If you want to correct me on the source, please feel free to do so.
Sincerely,
WorldWarIIIIIIII WORLDWAR8 WorldWarIIIIIIII 15:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
My apologies. I've looked at article history, and I can see why you changed it. In the future, please use an edit summary so others can understand why you made a change. Thanks. BilCat (talk) 19:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
No problem. I will use the edit summary for describing my edits in the future.
