Speedy deletion nomination of Eric "Badspot" Hartman

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 Eric "Badspot" Hartman 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 person or group of people, 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. Under 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. ...William 15:14, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 23

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Radial Force Variation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Traction (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

ClueBot NG:

Bot of Wikipedia,

Stops vandals in their tracks,

But seriously. I just saw vandalism, I click on it to edit it. BAM. ClueBot beats me to the punch. Oh well. It really shows how fast that thing is. Give us human vandal-stoppers a chance! :c

Rollbacker

I have granted rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 16:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I will use rollback to the best of my ability, and try not to abuse it's power. Again, thank you. Secondhand Work 16:20, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Reason for reverted edits

Hello, Secondhand Work. You have reverted some edits I have done to "Draft:Pan-Romance language" and I'd like to know why they "did not appear constructive" to you. I had added extra bibliography, essentially. I'm new in Wikipedia, so a clarification would be helpful. By the way, I've already done these edits twice, because when trying to save them for the first time someone else had been editing the page at the same time and I lost my work. Thanks. Jorcaiba (talk) 21:59, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

@Jorcaiba: I've checked my edit, and I realized I have made the revert in error. I must have not seen things or assumed it wasn't a draft due to how quick I sometimes revert vandalism. I deeply apologize and hope that your Wikipedia experience is a great one. I believe you should be able to recover your work through copying the text on the edit history window near the top of the page. Once again, I apologize. Thank you for letting me know. Secondhand Work 22:07, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

@Secondhand Work: Hi, Secondhand Work. I'm glad to read that it was just a mistake. Don't worry. Thanks for your reply! --Jorcaiba (talk) 00:21, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Tarzan Triumphant

Hello, you reverted my edit to this page. I don't understand why you consider it disruptive. It is a valid link to a complete copy of the Burrough's book in several different formats. Fadedpage.com is a volunteer project. The site offers electronic editions of books in the public domain free of charge. There is no DRM attached to the books and all we ask people as that they read and enjoy the book. Fadedpage is very much like Project Gutenberg which offers a similar range of books for readers to download. There are 2000+ links to fadedpage on Wikipedia and 30,000+ links to Project Gutenberg. Thanks, LiteratureCompanion (talk) 01:33, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

@LiteratureCompanion: I've checked the edit, and I have to say I'm really sorry. I did not know the book referenced Joseph Stalin, considering that I thought of the movie Tarzan and had never heard of the book before. My thought process thought it was essentially a slightly-more 'professional' comedy edit/vandal, and did not realize that it did indeed contain messages about him. My sincere apologies again, thank you for letting me know. If there's anything else I can do, let me know. Secondhand Work 03:37, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
