Speedy deletion nomination of Tiffany Springs waterpark
editIf 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 Tiffany Springs waterpark, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

A tag has been placed on Kopyright, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Miami Heat, you may be blocked from editing. McGeddon (talk) 13:17, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Dionne quintuplets. Your edits have been reverted or removed.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. do not re-add the contested category without gaining consensus on the talk page. Your inability to provide a reliable source is indicative that your opinion does not carry enough weight to be included in the article. WP:BRD requires you to prove on the talk page that your edit should be in place. Just putting it back is considered edit warring and can lead to your being blocked from editing. noq (talk) 08:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
This is your last warning. The next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Dionne quintuplets, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. A random blog is not a reliable source. As stated previously you need reliable sources and to gain consensus on the articles talk page - not just reverting and shouting in the edit summaries. As this is your final warning, if you again revert without gaining consensus you are very likely to be blocked from editing until you decide to play by the rules. noq (talk) 06:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
The article Southwest Swim Club has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 22:13, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give SQL a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:35, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Well, here's what I wanted to ask you, Andy. I tried to do a conventional move in order to "swap" the two pages, but Wikipedia wouldn't allow me to for some reason. I was blocked for three months for vandalism earlier on, but my block expired on 19 December 2013 and I haven't been re-blocked (or even received a warning) for nearly a month since then. Could you get someone to please explain what's been going on with the page (or offer one yourself if you're an admin?) In any case, whenever we get to the bottom of this, just have whatever authority on the matter leave a message on my talk page. Thank you very much, User:Davidfreesefan23 (talk) 22:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not an admin, I'm not trying to block anyone, I used the warning template in the hope that its links would point you at relevant explanations.
- There are two issues here: should it be moved?, how to move it? I would suggest that both of these are better addressed at talk:SQL.
- Should it be moved? No and not yet. No, because of WP:COMMONNAME. Not yet, because making a substantial rename like this to a high-traffic page should always be discussed beforehand and only carried out with solid consensus behind it. In this case, I'd be amazed if such a consensus could be achieved.
- How to move it requires the page to be moved by an admin. There are tags to request this. What we can't do is to copy-paste move it, as you did here, because that loses the page's edit history and copyright attribution trail. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:52, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the pointers. User:Davidfreesefan23 (talk) 22:58, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Barney the barney barney (talk) 21:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

- added links pointing to Carlisle, Scarborough, Sunderland, Salford and Lancaster

Blocked
editI've blocked you as you are clearly not here to help build an encyclopedia. -- John Reaves 01:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Davidfreesefan23 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Please tell me what I did wrong after my second block. Point out a few examples to tell me that your block is justified. Many of my edits have been reverted, but I received NO vandalism warnings on my talk page ever since the second block (as opposed to a whole bunch before). Most of my edits, at least to me, seemed to be of a non-vandal or otherwise good-faith nature, even if they didn't necessarily belong. This block is shocking, and frankly, I consider it a travesty. I had thought about "retiring" earlier (in a fit of angry rage displayed in the edit summary), but now I've calmed down and I'm willing to give this another shot, if the admins are ever to do likewise. If anything, you could at least look over my contributions for the last month. If you compare them to all the stuff before the second block, the contributions seem to be less disruptive, even if not all of them are exactly helpful. If you don't unblock me, at least I would like you to explain your reasoning for the block. That would make me feel much better.
Decline reason:
Reasons for the block, if I were the one considering whether to block you or not: This, this and this. None of them in any way productive edits. — Daniel Case (talk) 04:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Orphaned non-free image File:The Break Time logo.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:The Break Time logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
