Why has this page for Derrick Evans locked? This needs an update because everyone needs to know that he was involved in breaking into the US Capital!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.27.68.16 (talk) 00:31, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi there. I took the liberty of moving this comment to the bottom of the page, where new comments go. I am not the person in charge of the article Derrick Evans (politician), nor was I the one who levied the semi-protection. Since you are an IP editor, I will reply to your talk page with this information as well. RexSueciae (talk) 00:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Kim Dracula

edit

hi, there are reliable sources for his name and birthdate. his name is on the credits of every song he's made and he posted an instagram story back on his birthday, also, his age was found in one of his instagram posts saying he was 16 in the photo, and the caption read "6 years ago" so when doing the math we can confirm his age. I did not anything about the pronouns since that has not been released. other than that thank you very much! have a good day

Glucosegarbage (talk) 00:11, 23 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Glucosegarbage: No worries mate -- I don't know if the IG story would be a good source (unless maybe it was archived?) -- and the age calculation from "he was X years old on Y date" is actually already in use! The article uses Template:Birth based on age as of date (calculating from a figure in a news article, though, not from a social media post). Honestly, it would make things a lot easier if more newspapers or magazines were to write about him -- finding enough reliable sources to get the article to stick (and not get deleted) was a tremendous labor.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kim Dracula

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 Kim Dracula requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.lyrics.com/lyric-lf/2472504/Kim+Dracula/Paparazzi. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

About your comments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Troutman Pepper

edit

Hello, the redirect is cool but how could that work. The other company that merged with Troutman Sanders is also big and has an article Pepper Hamilton. Would both be updated with post merger activities? I really do not see why we cannot keep the merger article, I was the user the user that sent the afc for it.Rseinfold (talk) 04:12, 14 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks.

Hey, thanks for opening the deletion review for David Firth. I was the IP who wrote that comment and I was honestly surprised that the discussion was closed with a consensus to redirect. I thought for sure it would've been relisted for 1 more week, and I was considering putting it up for deletion review later in the future. I didn't expect that Firth would post a Twitter thread about it, and I didn't know about both that and the DR until today. Thank you so much for doing it for me! :) PantheonRadiance (talk) 06:24, 7 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

@PantheonRadiance No problem! The draft in AFC is looking good -- hopefully someone reviews it again soon -- otherwise, glad to see things more or less worked out. RexSueciae (talk) 12:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

  • adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
  • comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
  • follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
  • comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
  • refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
