Raymond Challinor

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Raymond Challinor, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Avruch T 17:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Histomatist! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

  1. Donny Gluckstein - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 11:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Donny Gluckstein

edit
 

The article Donny Gluckstein has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Long term unreferenced BLP, without any real claim of notability, but no significant coverage able to be found in independent reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. The-Pope (talk) 13:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

Speedy deletion nomination of Chanie Rosenberg

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.

A tag has been placed on Chanie Rosenberg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 16:37, 1 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chanie Rosenberg, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Socialist Workers Party (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello Histomatist. It has been over six months since you last edited your article submission, entitled Chris Braithwaite.

Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Chris Braithwaite}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Proposed deletion of London Socialist Historians Group

edit
 

The article London Socialist Historians Group has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Since this has been unsourced for more than a decade now, it's safe to assume it never will be; this group doesn't appear to have gained any traction at all. I can find no source which isn't either a blog entry, or self-published by this group or their members.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.  ‑ Iridescent 11:10, 4 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:World Revolution 1937.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:42, 6 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

The change you added needs the full book refererence (or whatever it is - university paper?) as it's unclear what work you are quoting - WP:SAYWHEREYOUGOTIT. I see you've added similar content at other articles. You have a long editing history and should know how to format citations.

Ways to improve George Shepperson

edit

Hello, Histomatist,

Thank you for creating George Shepperson.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

As the William Robertson chair at Edinburgh, I have no doubt that this subject would pass WP:NPROF. However, with only a single source aside from the one connected to Edinburgh uni, this could do with better sourcing. There's also a substantial chunk of text (most of the second paragraph of the biography section) which is too close to the source, and needs to be reworded to avoid COPYVIO.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Girth Summit}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
