Hi, I'm Oiyarbepsy and I can see fairies.

Welcome and thank you for joining and editing Wikipedia. I would like to personally welcome you here and hope that you decide to keep contributing.

If you have any questions, please click this link, then hit the new section and rock and roll. I really like to pretend to know what I'm doing here, so I'm sure I'll give you the right answer, and if I don't, you can whack me with a trout.

Proposed deletion of Alyssa Selman

edit
 

The article Alyssa Selman has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails notability tests, While her accident was tragic, Ms. Selman was apparently a non-notable jockey before her accident and the single event of her horse-riding accident is not sufficient to make her independently notable. See WP:BLP1E. In addition, she has not sought publicity so WP:BLPPRIVACY and WP:LOWPROFILE apply.

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.

Question about the possible deletion of Alyssa Selman

edit

Hey. It think Wikipedians should have a debate by listening reasons in favour of deletion of Alyssa Selman or against deletion about Alyssa Selman and explain why delete or why keep before the final decision on November 7. I would also recommend that Manitoban Wikipedians look over this article and get into the discussion of deletion or keep.

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

  Hello, I'm Rklawton. I noticed that you made a change to an article, November 2015 Paris attacks, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Information, such as "ISIS did it" must be reliably sourced. Since it isn't (yet), we can't add it to the article. Rklawton (talk) 23:34, 13 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia 15 in Winnipeg

Wikipedia is celebrating its 15th birthday on January 15, 2016. I have thought for a while that it would be neat to meet some local wikipedians. According to the wikipedians in Winnipeg or Wikipedians in Manitoba category you are one of us. I am contacting people in this category to say: Let's celebrate this milestone. If you know other wikipedians, please ask them to join in as well.

I am posting this to your talk page as a transclude so that any updates will show up automatically.

Hope to see you there! Tenbergen (talk) 04:46, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

One other Winnipeg Wikipedian showed up, in addition to a number of regular skullspace members. It was nice to actually talk to someone else who has worked with Mediawiki and actually "gets" transclusion. Cake was eaten! Tenbergen (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Fort McMurray, did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed.

Since some of your edits appear to be valid, I assume you are not trying to be intentionally disruptive, which is why I did not place a final warning template. However, your interpretation of what constitutes a ghost town is far too expansive and you are applying that both to places that may properly be considered ghost towns, but many that should not be - even if they might eventually meet the definition.

Your edits at Alyssa Soebandono

edit

Wikipedia ia an encyclopedia. In order to make sure that the content of Wikipedia is reliable and encyclopedic, there are a lot of rules and guidelines. If you wish to contribute to the articles of Wikipedia, you need to understand and to follow these rules.

One of the main principles of the encyclopedia is that the information shall be verifiable. This means that if someone adds information to an article, other editors should be able to check that the infomation is correct. You need to show people where they can check the information, and you do this by citing reliable sources, which you can read more about here. This is especially important in articles about living people, and therefore there are specials rules for such articles. You can read more about the rules for biographies of living people here.

In your edits to the article Alyssa Soebandono you have added the category "Indonesian Muslims". The article about the actress does not mention that she is a Muslim. Adding a category like that can not be done unless the article has a sourced mention of the fact. For such a claim to be added to the article, sourcing is absolutely necessary. Even if you are certain that she is a Muslim, and even if I believe you are right, that is not enough. Your edit summary "almost always if a woman wears the hijab she is a Muslim" constitutes what is known as original research, which you can read more about here. A reliable source that other editors can check is necessary.

Even if it can be sourced that she is a Muslim, it is not necessarily pertinent to mention it in the article. Religion is in most cases a personal matter. In order to add information about personal matters, you would have to create a consensus among editors that it has some relevance for her public life.

Finally, even if it is mentioned in the article, it does not necessarily follow that the category is relevant. Here you can read that "Categories regarding religious beliefs (or lack of such) or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question."

I suggest that you remove the category yourself. If not, it will soon be removed. --T*U (talk) 09:34, 3 August 2016 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion nomination of Lvov Euro Food Corner

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 Lvov Euro Food Corner, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. --HyperGaruda (talk) 04:26, 11 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Erm any editor can nominate an article for deletion, does not have to be an administrator. I improved the article which hopefully will help its chances of survival. Take a look at the article now and see the difference. This might be instructional for your future articles. Among the things I did was: removed peacock terms (praise and so forth), removed material that was not referenced, or tagged it as citation needed, added material from the references.
The subject of the article is fine in my opinion. So thank you for creating the article. You need to continue to practice sharpening up your article writing, so that your articles are less likely to be nominated for deletion. Herostratus (talk) 12:28, 27 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Some advice

edit

Please talk some time to read these small pieces of advice carefully:

1) If you want to suggest moving an article to another title (like you obviously was trying to do with Schmallenberg), it is important that you follow the correct procedure. If not, the request will either be ignored, or the faulty request will be reverted by an automatic program (a so-called "bot"), as it happened here. You can find the correct procedure at WP:RM#CM. As you will see there, you should not do anything on the article page, since that will be handled automatically. You should just enter the appropriate template at the bottom of the talk page as described. If you only make the request as an ordinary edit to the talk page, it will only be seen by those reading that talk page. If you use the template, your suggestion will automatically be listed several places so that editors interested in the topic(s) will be alerted. Besides, the edits you intended to make to the talk page Talk:Schmallenberg ended in the the wrong place, in the misprinted talk page Talk:Schamllenberg, where probably no one will see it, since there is no article Schamllenberg.

2) It would be helpful if you learned how to sign your talk page edits. You can read about it at WP:SIGHOW. It is quite simple: Either you put four tildes (~) at the end of your entry, or you click at the signature icon   just above the editing window. If you do not sign, your message will sometimes be automatically signed by a "bot", leaving a message like "Preceding unsigned comment added by ...", but that does not always work, in which case it is not easy to see who has written it. --T*U (talk) 14:31, 8 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Your attempted request for move here is completely malformed. If you really want people to discuss your suggestion, you must follow the correct procedure described at WP:RM#CM. --T*U (talk) 07:50, 9 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

If you make a Google search for "Nwe Yrok", the first thing that springs up, is New York. Google's search algoritm allows for "fuzzy" searching and is trying to second-guess your misprints.

See WP:NOR. As you said in Category:Developed countries: "Countries that are have a generally ok standards of living such as Malaysia, Croatia, Lebanon, Chile ect. will soon be listed on a separate country called semi-developed countries." It is very subjective and highly offensive to its citizens to decide which country is "ok for living" and which is not. Please do not start mass-categorization of major Wikipedia articles without consulting the related project first, Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries in this case. Materialscientist (talk) 03:56, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
This not about which countries are okay for living. For example I would neither live in a developed dictatorship like UAE or developing democracy like Benin. And it is also obvious and a very simple fact that a country like Germany or Japan can't be classified as anything but developed or a country like Ethiopia or Cambodia can't be classified as anything but developing. Also if you are saying it is rude to classify countries like Lebanon or Croatia as either semi-developed or developing, either way developed or not developed it is an obvious fact that countries like Lebanon or Croatia is a lot poorer than countries like the USA or Australia but a lot richer than like India or Vietnam.--Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk) 04:06, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Red Icarus, it is good to have new editors joining Wikipedia family, however, as a “family”, we should learn the do’s and don’t’s. I noticed that in about a year joining, you have gotten lot of messages asking you to stop editing some of the contents, etc. The best way to start writing in Wikipedia is to join a group, wikigroup. Start with something you love the most. In the group page, read up the guidelines. Normally, in the group page, they will list down articles that require additional info or articles that require “fixing”. Start with that first, and slowly you will know what to do. I have been here for years but I still ask friends in my “group” to work together on formats and contents for all articles I started or edited. Do not simply edit articles without discussing or consulting the “group”. If you are interested to contribute in “Countries” (based on your recent edits), please join Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries or its subsets. PS- I agreed with Materialscientist, do not start mass-categorization of major Wikipedia articles without consulting the related project first. Thanks. --Jay (talk) 08:23, 20 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello. It's only my opinion, but I am concerned that two of the most recent redirects (see above) you created seemed inappropriate. I worry that you have perhaps not understood the purpose of redirects and I would urge you to read up on them, or seek help with the concept, before you create any more. I am sorry but I do not feel that your present strategy is likely to be successful, but that's only my view. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 10:31, 30 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on George Michael. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. 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; 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. - Mlpearc (open channel) 21:54, 31 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Allison Wilke deletion

edit

I am feeling mad that my article got deleted. I tried to explain user ATS to specify how this person is not noticeable and I still no response and speedy deleted. I asked him/her to replace it with a talk page about deletion and still deleted. And I was blocked for one week for disruptive editing. I never ment to do that. I am just asking nicely to give more reasons for deletion and while Allison Wilke was not a very famous person she accomplished notable accomplishments being a cancer fighter and activist and spreading awareness about cancer. In a talk page I could see more people's opinions whever to keep or deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Red Icarus of Jakarta (talkcontribs)

Any protests will fall on deaf ears; yours is a consistent pattern of disruption, for which you have been blocked before. If you wish to edit constructively once your block expires, you would do exceedingly well to review Wikipedia policies, especially governing what an encyclopedia is and is not, and our notability guideline. The short version: whether a person is notable is irrelevant—an article must demonstrate through the inclusion within the article of reliable sources that the person is notable for our purposes. That Allison Wilke has been deleted twice speaks volumes. —ATS 🖖 talk 21:22, 12 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

However there is some things I wanted to explain about Allison Wilke and how she was noticeable --Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk) 04:10, 28 January 2017 (UTC) 1. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/what-oa-who-allison-wilke-9597164 explains who she was. 2. Wikipedia's The OA article has a section about her. 3. She was a film producer and movie director. 4. May have not been famous in her short life but is comparable to someone who was not a celebrity but was a brave and strong public cancer fighter who lost their life far too soon like Talia Castellano. 5.It's explained on Google who she was, how old, place of birth, major movies. 6. She worked in many noticeable movies like Pirates of the Caribbean. 7. Most noticeable person with the popular women's name Allison according to Google search and images as the first thing when you search Allison is Allison Wilke in front of well know people like Allison Williams or Allison Janney. 8. The OA is a very popular show which has millions of fans even in my far away country of origin of Indonesia and other far away countries. Millions of people saw this and many people will search for her especially OA fans. 9. She has done lots of outreach for people affected by cancer like setting up foundations and directing movies about cancer. 10. This is a very important one:Google even suggests Allison Wilke Wikipedia like if an article about her existed. I think it is absolutely disrespectful to speedy delete about a hero like her. For the listed reasons I suggest restoring the page. For now I will not recreate the article about her as I do not want get blocked again or have the article blocked for non-administrators' creation. So I suggest recreating it your self or start a talk page. I know that I have made many editing flaws, I mean tones, but this article I really think should at least be reviewed on a talk page. --Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk) 04:10, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Carrie Reynolds, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. Acroterion (talk) 04:20, 28 January 2017 (UTC) Why did that get undone? I think Carrie Reynolds should redirect to Carrie Fisher since her mother was the famous actress Debbie Reynolds who died a day after her. That is why most people would search for Carrie Fisher and not the underground actress Carrie Reynolds. --Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk) 04:31, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

What you think is not enough. Apart from the very obvious recentist bias to your edit, Carrie Fisher has never at any time been called Carrie Reynolds, so that is not a remotely credible reason for blanking content. As is the case in most European-derived societies, Carrie Fisher carried her father's surname, and never used her mother's surname. Blanking content for such a trivial and speculative reason is disruptive. Acroterion (talk) 04:35, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

My appeal for getting unblocked

edit

I am requesting an appeal for getting unblocked because I was just voicing my concern about the Allison Wilke article and it's deletion. I was not recreating it. I was just giving evidence of notability that could be judged by a Wikipedian as relevant or irrelevant and how it is relevant or irrelevant. I was simply just asking questions about the article. --Red Icarus of Jakarta (talk) 18:44, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I was wrongly blocked since I was simply asking questions about why Allison Wilke was deleted. I was not recreating the article. I just simply put some signs of notability for a Wikipedian to judge and explain how it is noticeable or not noticeable? I however to admit that I have not been a good editor a lot of the time I formally apologize for all my disruptive editing. I do want to resolve my dispute about Allison Wilke ASAP. I am still completely confused of why it was deleted speedily with out any fuss. Seems to me that I sourced it well and there is many sources about her and seems to show some small notability.

Decline reason:

Your unblock request and other comments on this page indicate a continued inability to understand how Wikipedia works. We neither want nor need an apology; in order to be unblocked you will need to demonstrate a degree of competence and understanding. So far, you have pretty much demonstrated the opposite.
