Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Constitution of Venezuela into Elections in Venezuela. 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. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. 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 moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 01:04, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the copied template, that will be useful in the future. If my edit summaries are lacking, I will pay more mind to being exact. Yvarta (talk) 01:31, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

October 2016

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Paul Singer (businessman). 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.
You are encouraged to discuss on the talk page. Per WP:BRD this needs to stay at status quo. Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:24, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Paul Singer (businessman) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:28, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello Lemongirl942. I have enjoyed conversing with you, and would rather not report you for disruptive editing. Please provide a counterargument and rationale for your reverts, or it will be apparent you are ignoring valid guidelines. Yvarta (talk) 17:30, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

You started an RFC and it didn't conclude in a way you would have liked. You need to accept the community consensus now. If you have problems, go ahead and start another RFC or start another discussion. What you are doing however is ignoring consensus. Please refrain. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:32, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

I do not engage in edit wars, but turn to arbitration when required, per guidelines. However I shall not refrain from protecting my edit, despite your request, until you provide evidence there is a consensus. Frankly I thought I made that apparent from the beginning. Yvarta (talk) 17:35, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

We discuss. We do not revert (unless there is an egregious BLP violation). See WP:STATUSQUO for more. Anyway, let's keep this discussion at one place. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 17:48, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

I and others have argued that there is, as you say, an "egregious BLP violation." Please focus your discussion on content, including the WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE guideline I have brought to the table. In fact, specifically that, as it with that guideline I am justifying my deletion. Yvarta (talk) 17:55, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

ArbCom Elections 2016: Voting now open!

Hello, Yvarta. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2016 election, please review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

		The Civility Barnstar
		Thanks for your comments on the Murder of Maria Ladenburger article. Wikipedia really needs more editors like you who try to cool down heated discussions and to stay focussed on the content of an article. LucLeTruc (talk) 14:20, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you kindly for the barnstar, LucLeTruc, and do keep up the good work on BLP-related articles! Even though such topics can get tempers heated, they are of course also the ones that can have the most incidental impact on real people, and they benefit from your close attention to content. Happy holiday season! Yvarta (talk) 12:25, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Fort Bend Christian Academy

Hi! I notice the notability tag. Anyway thank you for looking for sources on that. I could try checking the Houston Chronicle archives later to see what I can find. I have a library card so I can use the online NewsBank directory and check.

Anyway if this was nominated for AFD it would very likely be kept because it has a senior high school component. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools states: "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools are usually kept except when zero independent sources can be found to prove that the institution actually exists."

Also, if you haven't tried this, it may help to look up all of its names, current and former, in search terms. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:26, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:WhisperToMe, thanks for the note. I would have no problem with you removing the notability tag if we can get in at least one independent source on the page, per the guideline you link above. Best, Yvarta (talk) 15:46, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Found one :) About the name change WhisperToMe (talk) 22:28, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

For high school articles which only rely on primary sources there is a special template saying the school article relies too much on self-published sources and sources too close to the school. Using those templates acknowledges common outcomes but still makes it clear that it needs work. I forget which one it is but I can find it for you if you like! WhisperToMe (talk) 22:52, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing back the source and removing the tag, User:WhisperToMe! I have seen those templates with one source before, but since the page is still a stub with mundane information at this point, I'm not too worried about it. Maybe if it was full-size and still based on press releases or official websites, but it still has growing to do. Yvarta (talk) 18:32, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

François Barrault Bio: You send me a message regarding François Barrault's Bio where you are complaining about the fact that I am removing your negative comments about him. Indeed, I am doing so because what you post about his departure from BT does not reflect at all the reality. This is a high level case with a lot of implications you don't even know about. Therefore, this type of negative comments is totally inappropriate to be included in his bio. I wonder why you are posting this comment with such tenacity? Do you have specific reasons to harm his reputation? What is motivating your relentlessness? Is it personal or are you acting on behalf of someone? I am looking forward to your response. I hope you give up, let it go, I am sure you have more important things to deal with than posting again and again a controversial post on an executive's bio.

Proposed deletion of José Luis Ramos

Hello, Yvarta. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, José Luis Ramos, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want José Luis Ramos to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

Fernando Huanacuni Mamani

Hi, Yvarta,

The article Fernando Huanacuni Mamani is one of thousands of articles that were originally created by machine translation and many of these are scheduled to be deleted fairly soon (2 weeks?). I know you've done a lot of work on this one, and I'd hate to see it get deleted out from under you. If you want to save it, can you either find a bunch of sources for it and let me know you've done it, or else move it to your user draft space where it will be safe. If you leave it in main space, it may get deleted. Feel free to {{ping}} me here if you need more info. Cordially, Mathglot (talk) 04:19, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

	You're Awesome!
	Thank you very much for your edits. I can't thank you enough, I am a novice and I knew that if someone seasoned made small wiki-esque tweaks this page will look much better. Thanks again for your help. I am a fan of this woman she has an amazing story. Thecapital15 (talk) 00:12, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

@Thecapital15:, thanks for the trophy! :D Interesting topic you posted, so I am glad you think my edits help. I also think the page does pass notability, but I might also note that it barely passes WP:GNG, and so the discussion may not necessarily agree with me and it could be deleted if consensus goes that way. If so, I hope you won’t let that dampen your enthusiasm for editing, and remember you can ask to have the page saved as a draft for you to edit until it accrues more coverage, as described in WP:TOOSOON. Keep up the good work! Yvarta (talk) 20:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

@Yvarta: :) No problem, you were very kind, you edited my article and made it so much better. Unfortunately, two people think that it should be deleted :( I am trying to improve it and adding more information on the page. It will be very hard to see all this hard work go to waste if this article is deleted - hope someone else pitches in & votes keep. Just thought should drop by to say thank for your kind words.Thecapital15 (talk) 01:49, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

That joke was terrible and I should feel terrible about it.

A friend was traveling to Bermuda and wanted a book to read, so I gave him Under the Black Flag. While he's been away I decided to contribute in my own way by filling in missing pirate pages. Haven't had this much fun researching since early University days! Leigh Ashworth was my 10th in the last month or so. Glad you enjoyed it! And good luck with Jennings. TheLastBrunnenG (talk) 23:50, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

@TheLastBrunnenG: - Lol - maybe you should feel terrible about it, but it has given me the giggle fits, so not complaining. Pirates are fun research aren't they - I'm not sure how I encountered Jennings myself anymore, but I never know what to expect - I hope you won't be creeped out if I poke my nose into your other pages sometime and take a look, I'm sure they're all a fun read. Keep up the great work, Yvarta (talk) 23:55, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on SellAnyCar.com, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

For future reference, and so I don’t look like a dirty dirty spammer, here was my response on the now deleted talk page: ‘’This stub was not created with promotional intent, and appears to pass WP:GNG (see references on the page). Page was posted after a cleanup attempt on the founder earlier today at Special:NewPagesFeed. This stub was started with content pasted from the founder page, as the founder did not look notable, but the company did. Founder since deleted since this morning, looks like that topic had been spammed in the past. I suspect the spammers from that page might appear here as well, in that case, deletion to WP:SALT the topic would not bother me, but lesser protections I suspect would work fine.
