Social democracy =/= Democratic socialism

Just to clarify some things on the Justice Democrats page...

-- Firestar493 / Nightstar648 02:01, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Seriously, why do you keep insisting on democratic socialism when that's NOT what JD is? -- Firestar493 / Nightstar648 19:15, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this edit to Justice Democrats, you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. —MRD2014 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Uranium

I reverted your addition to uranium as you put the sentence into the history section, where it didn't really fit.JSR (talk) 23:21, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Edits to Justice Democrats

Hello, I've undone your reversion of my edits to Justice Democrats because they reduced the neutrality of the article and misrepresented JD as a "faction" of the Democratic Party when it is actually a PAC. Additionally, it restored a bulleted point list that was copied directly from JD's website and was thus a copyright violation. I can respect your obvious enthusiasm for the organization... but we need to channel our energy into making this the best article it can be rather than a promo piece.

Your contributed article, United States occupation of Honduras

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, I noticed that you recently created a new page, United States occupation of Honduras. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – History of Honduras#The internationalization of the north, 1899-1932. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at History of Honduras#The internationalization of the north, 1899-1932 – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. HapHaxion (talk) 03:42, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

The issue here is that we already have an article which discusses this topic elsewhere. Wikipedia doesn't like having multiple articles about the same thing - it makes them harder to maintain, for example. That doesn't mean that this topic can't have a standalone article, but if we want to start one it would need to be done by splitting off the existing article. This happens quite often when a page gets too long. Hut 8.5 21:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

May 2017

Hello, I'm AJFU. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Miss Me Yet?, 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! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  AJFU  (talk) 04:42, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

June 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with 2017 United States-Saudi Arabia arms deal. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Hello, I'm AlexanderLevian. I noticed that you recently removed content from Blue Dog Coalition without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, I'm Home Lander. I noticed that in this edit to Strongman (politics), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Home Lander (talk) 19:56, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Arnold Phillip Shortman

A tag has been placed on Arnold Phillip Shortman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 17:32, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Francesca Marie Smith

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 Francesca Marie Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for Deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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.

Proposed deletion of Francesca Marie Smith

The article Francesca Marie Smith 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.

Removing cited content from US political coalitions

Your most recent edits removed well cited content from the articles on several US political coalitions, apparently to make the articles conform to your own views of the coalition. We don't do that, we go by what Wikipedia:Reliable sources say, not what our own opinions are. --GRuban (talk) 01:22, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Important Notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
