Disambiguation link notification for October 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Sexpionage, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages James Hudson and Jason Matthews (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

Vladimir Schneiderov moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Vladimir Schneiderov, does not have enough sources and citations 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. — Newslinger talk 19:00, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

blocked

Hi Moscowdreams. Your account was not blocked, but you were affected by an IP range block that was meant for a different user, which was set to disallow edits from logged-in accounts. I have given your account the IP block exempt flag, which will allow you to edit even if you are editing on a connection like this one. This flag will expire in one year. If you find that you are still not able to edit because of an IP range block, please email functionaries-enlists.wikimedia.org and refer to this discussion. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Ilf and Petrov into One-storied America. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 12:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mauk, Miller, & Hawkins, LLC

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 Mauk, Miller, & Hawkins, LLC 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 company, corporation or organization that does not credibly 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 "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. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:45, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Placeholders in templates

Hey Moscowdreams,

Since templates are automatically rendered in every article where they're included, you can't have visible placeholders like [*]. If you want a "template" for future additions, put it inside an HTML comment: <!-- [*] --> - that way it'll be hidden from view.

Cheers,

Nomination for deletion of Template:Fermi paradox

Template:Fermi paradox has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. jps (talk) 00:43, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

==== Template:Fermi paradox ====

• {{Tfd links|Fermi paradox}}

Misguided. A template may work, but not like this. Requires discussion at Talk:Fermi paradox. jps (talk) 00:43, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

• Delete. Even in theory, it's redundant to Template:Extraterrestrial life, where all articles related to the Fermi paradox would be and are listed. I think some adjustments at that template may be in order, but that does not concern us here. As it is now, this template is also highly problematic because many of the articles listed have no plausible relation to the Fermi paradox, it contains major formatting and spelling errors despite its use in an article, and it attempts to inappropriately contain external links. Crossroads ^-talk- 02:12, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
• Delete It's not so much a template about the Fermi paradox as it is a box full of stuff that people who are into space and science and all might find, you know, cool. Cloning and Head transplants have nothing to do with the Wow! signal. Cut away all the things that don't belong (including the inappropriate external link), and there's not enough left to warrant a template at all. XOR'easter (talk) 02:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
• Delete (edit conflict) - Far-fetched relationship between items, I also liked this posted at WP:FTN: "What do cloning and head transplants have to do with the Wow! signal?" by XOR'easter. —PaleoNeonate – 02:41, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Your overzealous counterproductive bullying of deleting other editors contributions

I have watched your edits from afar for years User talk:Diannaa in complete shock and disgust. I haven't spoken out for years because you are powerful and have the blessing of the Wikipedia foundation and Jimbo. But your deletion of material is bullying. You cloak yourself in Wikipedia policy, but it doesn't change the fact that you bully editors.

Your deletion of whole sections completely ignores fair use. You are a detriment to the future of Wikipedia and the original spirit that wikipedia would be a encyclopedia of all knowledge. To have people like you in charge and such a prominent member of Wikipedia, shows how much wikipedia has lost its way.

I know what this post means for me, you and your proxies will now ruthlessly watch every edit I make, and will probably come up with a reason ban me, because that is what bullies do.

Your behavior is best described in The New York Review of Books article, The Charms of Wikipedia "wannabe tin-pot dictators masquerading as humble editors."

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:KGB/Active measures

A tag has been placed on Template:KGB/Active measures requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes.

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 "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.
