Speedy deletion nomination of Reporters uncensored

A tag has been placed on Reporters uncensored 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 web content, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 16:10, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Reporters uncensored

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles you created, as you did with Reporters uncensored. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 16:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

I've read the note you left on the talk page of the above-captioned article. Unfortunately, to be the subject of an article in Wikipedia it is necessary to already be notable, and this notability has to be demonstrated by reference to reliable sources, arm's-length sources of third-party opinion stating that the topic is somehow notable in a verifiable way. You may want to look at the links in this paragraph and WP:Your first article and WP:Why was my article deleted? for useful background information that will inform your future contributions.

Properly close table

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your edit of 08:45, 1 February 2019 of 2004 United States Senate election in Georgia, you lost the markup {{Election box end}}, which messed up the syntax (but did not affect the current display of the page) and put the page on Lint errors: Table tag that should be deleted. Also, in your edit of 08:44, 1 February 2019 of 2004 United States Senate elections, you inserted the markup {{Election box begin no change ...}} without the corresponding {{Election box end}}, which messed up the syntax (but did not affect the current display of the page) and put the page on Lint errors: Table tag that should be deleted.

If it interests you to help avoid these and other lint errors, see Wikipedia:Linter#How you can help and a following section, Wikipedia:Linter#User Javascript tool: lintHint. If you install lintHint, you can easily identify and fix lint in any article before you save your edits.

Mad Commas

I saw your edits at Sparks (drink). The same person is adding craaazzzy commas all over WP, plus other bizarre stylistic notions (I think they are a Spanish speaker). I have tried blocking dynamic ip's before and it is a lot of work for no return whatsoever, any ideas?  Mr.choppers | ✎  21:20, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

@Mr.choppers: Thanks for reaching out! Yes, I have identified at least three IPs associated with that person based on the peculiarities of their edits and some of the specific pages they edit. (Personally I think they may be Indian/South Asian, but I can't be sure and suppose it doesn't much matter). No, I don't know how to precede; it's too much for me to bother fixing myself, and I couldn't find a definitive answer for how I should pass the buck on this specific problem. I wish I could be of more help. -Coreydragon (talk) 22:40, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
