Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket

Hi

Welcome to Wikipedia.

I see you're a fellow cricket-lover. I thought I'd invite you to Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket, a corner of Wikipedia where cricket-loving Wikipedians can chat about what they're doing on cricket articles, etc. All the best, jguk 23:48, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Richard Nanes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nutley. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Thank you for your edit on Prince2 - The content is very well summarised with more neutral language. Goodtiming8871 (talk) 23:49, 17 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2017

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:White genocide conspiracy theory. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 20:15, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As your post was not about improving the article but solely about another editor, I've removed it. Doug Weller talk 20:16, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! As your post was also not about improving the article but solely about another editor, I've removed that too. Chi Sigma (talk) 20:51, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the bit that it was about your calling a vastly more experienced editor who has been here a couple of years less than you a newbie. I was just pointing out the difference in number of edits. That's doesn't equate to the post of yours I removed which was purely a personal attack. Doug Weller talk 13:34, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And that improves the article how? Chi Sigma (talk) 13:51, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lol. You should have thought of that before calling an experienced editor a newbie, which didn't improve the article or the discussion atmosphere. Doug Weller talk 19:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did think of that. It was a proportionate reaction to being told that my time wasn't as valuable as Grayfell's time. After which I moved on to article matters. Whereas you were there solely to be personal. Chi Sigma (talk) 21:03, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That isn't what happened. I made a one sentence comment on newbie vs experienced, User:EvergreenFir made a comment about your apparent lack of knowledge of WP:NPA or WP:EW or WP: BATTLEGROUND. Your next edit did not move on to article matters but was purely an attack on User:Greyfell which I removed. You then deleted my comment and that of EvergreenFir (a comment which was very much like others on the page you left). Your next comments have a battleground feel to them and your last one, "would assume you were trying to conceal an obvious political agenda in a thicket of verbiage, but a quick glance at your talk page tells me that no, it's not concealed at all, it's a badge of pride." is purely about an editor and shows a lack of good faith. Whatever other editors are saying, you need to take responsibility for your own posts and not claim to have simply moved on to article matters - if you had I wouldn't have had anything to revert. Doug Weller talk 17:06, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You wouldn't assume good faith either if a supposedly experienced editor started the conversation by telling you they weren't going to bother dealing constructively with your edit, because clearly your intention was to promote white supremacism. How much worse faith is it possible to get?! "I'm reverting your edit because you're a Nazi." Chi Sigma (talk) 21:05, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Scott Farrell (organist); that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --John B123 (talk) 22:44, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Scott Farrell

The article Scott Farrell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While the article's creator states, "the notability of holders of full Organist and Director of Music posts at English cathedrals is well established", there is no SNG which establishes this. And there is not enough in-depth coverage, outside of his crime, to suggest that he meets WP:GNG. It seems that his only notoriety is due to his crime, and as such WP:PERP would apply.

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.

Annabel Schofield moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Annabel Schofield, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Annabel Schofield (September 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't see which major roles she had that meet WP:ENT

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Annabel Schofield and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Annabel Schofield, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
