Speedy deletion nomination of Tinkerbella
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Tinkerbella, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
- It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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. Alex2564 (talk) 19:27, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Lots of stub articles
editHi. I just wanted to say that it may not be the best idea to create a ton of articles in a row consisting only of dictionary definitions. Instead, it may be better to just improve the article at Fairyfly first. Generally, articles consisting only of dictionary definitions of smaller topics of large topic are redirected to the main article. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 23:59, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- Ok want to help expand them to start class?
- Personally, as a non-expert on insects, I don't really see how they can. I may be wrong, however, from my layman's perspective, and google search, they are more or less all the same thing, and wouldn't have enough individual differences to warrant a new article. Maybe it would be better to improve Fairyfly. Correct me if I am wrong. Cheers and thanks! Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Do you want to wikipedia adopt me?
- What? Wikipedia does not adopt anyone. Other editors "adopt" other editors at WP:Adopt-a-user. Also, I don't want anything. It is up to you. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yeah I meant like wikipedia adopt me XD so what do you think? Do you want a adoptee.
- Again, Wikipedia does not adopt anybody. And no, I do not personally want to be an adopter. Also, please sign your comments, and reply to further discussions by adding colons like I am doing now. See the left side while in the edit screen. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:15, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- I am talking about do you need a adopter not literally adopt like wp:adopt-a-user
- I am confused. I am talking about the adopt a user program. Are you? Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yes
- Ok. Then no, I do not want to be adopted myself if that is what you are asking. Please sign your comments. Ramaksoud2000 (Talk to me) 00:22, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yes

- I would like to add that you shouldn't create a new article unless you can include at least 2-3 good references. I suggest you slow down a bit and concentrate on quality over quantity. - MrX 02:06, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Gonatocerus ashmeadi
editNice job adding sources to Gonatocerus ashmeadi. I've made some WP:MOS adjustments and formatted the citations. WP:CITE provides help on different ways to format citations that I think you may find useful. Please let me know if I can help you learn how to do anything. - MrX 11:10, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Tinkerbella
editLooking good - I hope that's all your own wording... One thing for general use: it's and its. If it's something belonging to it it is its. If it can be replaced by it is or it has, then it is it's. An exception to the rule about possessives (the dog's bone) in that the possessive of it doesn't have the apostrophe. Hope that's clear. Apostrophes are widely misunderstood. When I took over the running of a DTP course, one of the first things I did was write a check sheet on apostrophes for the younger trainees.

Speedy deletion nomination of Yinger
editA tag has been placed on Yinger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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".

Bad Robot
editI noticed that you had to fight off the robot. I understand the need for Wikirobots, but they can be so annoying. I will be half-way done with an article, and get interrupted by one of my kids, by the time I get back an hour later, the article has been tagged for "speedy deletion." I noticed this happened to you when you were creating the Tinkerbella article. I loved the number of references you put in. Good for you. That is just what I feel like doing some times. It is not your fault the biologists were feeling whimsical. All the best Nick Beeson (talk) 17:32, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
Machine translation
editHi! I've come across an early edits of yours from last year ([1]) and want to bring to your attention, that such uncorrected machine translation are not welcome in WP. Just in case you weren't aware of this by now anyhow. Machine translation may be used as a tool by editors as long as they to proofreading afterwards and fix all the errors/problems, but verbatim machine translations are normally a no-go.
regards,
