Proposed deletion of John Cooper (journalist)

edit
 

The article John Cooper (journalist) 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.

The article Next Conservative party leadership election has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

If we don't even know what year it will be, WP:TOOSOON. Removing from template for now because it breaks on a highly visible page.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Your contributed article, Shadow Cabinet of Anas Sarwar

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, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Shadow Cabinet of Anas Sarwar. 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 – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_Shadow_Cabinets_of_the_Scottish_Parliament#Current_Labour_Shadow_Cabinet. 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_Shadow_Cabinets_of_the_Scottish_Parliament#Current_Labour_Shadow_Cabinet. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it 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 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. 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. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:21, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Shadow Cabinet of Douglas Ross, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russell Findlay. 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.)

  Hi Robert Birkett! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. JaggedHamster (talk) 22:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Talk page discussion that you are involved in

Hi, please see Talk:Scottish Socialist Youth (SSY)#What is the actual current name of this group? and you're welcome to add any thoughts you have there. Thanks. Skynxnex (talk) 22:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

GenderGP moved to draftspace

edit

Thanks for your contributions to GenderGP. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Significant neutrality concerns. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Sideswipe9th (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I see that you've already been warned for this. Let me be absolutely clear: almost no edits are minor, and none of the recent edits that you have marked as minor appear to be so. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at F1NN5TER, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

The page which you recently edited relating to this rule is Candace Owens. Burrobert (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Candace Owens, especially if it involves living persons. Your edits have been reverted. Thank you. Spagooder (talk) 17:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:Willie Scobie
