Speedy deletion nomination of Beatboxing dog

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 Beatboxing dog requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. ttonyb (talk) 23:57, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Battle of Klagenfurt

The article Battle of Klagenfurt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Hoax. At Klagenfurt the only mention of Napoleon is in 1809 and not 1797. In 1797 he was in Italy, see War of the First Coalition. At the time this battle was supposed to have taken place the Treaty of Campo Formio was almost completed after five months negotiations. Based on the edit summary for the creation of this I think this may also be from a game. Google scholar has no hits whatsoever.

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Luna the Leaping cow

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 Luna the Leaping cow 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. 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. hang on If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Removing Speedy at Luna the Leaping cow

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Luna the Leaping cow, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hang on}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 21:01, 10 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Blackhorse riders a desperate last stand,an extraordinary rescue mission,and the Vietnam battle America forgot

Hello Battlesnake1,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Blackhorse riders a desperate last stand,an extraordinary rescue mission,and the Vietnam battle America forgot, may be copied from http://us.macmillan.com/blackhorseriders/PhilipKeith. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 00:29, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Homeland Security Market Research

Dear Battlesnake1,

In November 2013 you created the page Homeland Security Market Research, which claims that its subject is a part of the US Department of Homeland Security. However, you left no source that corroborates this claim. Could you please join the discussion at Talk:Homeland Security Market Research regarding this issue?

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for creating nonsense pages. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Dougweller (talk) 14:49, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was after I read the discussion at [1] about the Homeland Research article you created and seeing the number of hoax or other unsatisfactory articles you have created. You can be unblocked if you can explain why you created them and what you will do in the future to make sure this doesn't happen again. An agreement not to create new articles or only to do them in your user space and then ask for review would help. Dougweller (talk) 14:52, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is about the "Homeland Security Market Research" page that had me blocked; the reason I created that page was that on the article about Improvised explosive devices, the HSMR was mentioned but the page did not exist so I decided to create it. While creating it, there was not much information available except for the website and an online article. As for the reason it was removed because of false information, I looked at the aforementioned official website and found out they were involved in the Homeland Security industry, they were actually not involved with the actual Department of Homeland Security. I am terribly sorry for this and I agree to the condition to never create new articles unless I create them on my user space first for review.

The "About us" section of the website. The section in the Improvised Explosive Device Wikipedia page that mentions the HSMR. The online magazine article.

Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Gamergate controversy.

This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Edit Summaries on Talk Page

Hi there, when editing the Talk page on the Gamergate controversy it would be helpful if you put a comment in saying which section you are editing. If you click the 'Edit' link next to the section header the edit form will pre-populate the edit summary for you. As it's a busy page it helps other editors to know which discussion is being updated so that they can ignore updates to discussions they're not following or a part of. Thanks! — Strongjam (talk) 15:05, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Compromised account?

I'm confused. Were you aware that your edit, which you described as "Included a citation linking to a New York Times "Bits" article covering Intel pulling ads from Gamasutra," also "removed the description of the allegations against Zoe Quinn as being false, and ... inserted a claim that the controversy involves 'corruption in journalism?'" I am concerned your account or computer are compromised. Please respond to this post haste. Thanks! Hipocrite (talk) 15:23, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

January 2016

I've noticed you've edited a number of high school and college infoboxes so that the name of the school appears instead of the school's URL in the website category. This is problematic, since an editor could replace the URL with, say, a URL to a porn site, but the name of the school would appear in the infobox. If another editor did not catch the substitution and revert, an unsuspecting reader could click on it and be taken to the porn site. Please stop making these edits. Also, please note the standard is to use {{URL}}, not the brackets you've been using (see Template:Infobox). Thanks. Contributor321 (talk) 05:50, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Battlesnake1:, thank you for working on those school URLs. But I noticed that you still "hide" the URLs in infoboxes and don't use the {{URL}} template as recommended in the Template:infobox school documentation - see [[2]] for example. Please make sure to use syntax like website = {{URL|ahs-fusd-ca.schoolloop.com}} for the website parameter in infoboxes and do not overwrite the original URL information (in most cases). Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 01:52, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pickens County, South Carolina

Hi there, I read through Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. counties and didn't see anything about adding a link to the county sheriff's office (or the school board or county newspaper). That's why I deleted it stating per WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Did I miss something? Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:52, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I understood why you deleted that link at first. I should have clarified it when I initially added it in. Battlesnake1 (talk) 23:54, 17 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you understood why I deleted it, why did you add it back? The official county website is already on the article, and on that website is a link to the Sheriff's Office, see [3]. Please take a moment to read WP:ELMINOFFICIAL and WP:LINKFARM. Thank you again. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:03, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When you actually click on the Sheriff's Office link on the Pickens County website, the link redirects to a generic "Domain for sale" page. I found the working website on Google and put that link on the "External links" section of the article for the sake of convenience. I was saying that I should have clarified that the link on the Pickens County website was dead, hence the reason for putting the working link on the article.

"Recent edit also had some bias"

I wonder what you thought you were referring to when you said this? Factchecker_atyourservice 16:48, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "bias" part came from the part of your edit that read,"a homeowner who called to report an intruder was mistakenly shot dead by police." It's biased because the officers believed that they were actually getting shot at , while the family of the victim claimed that they had the wrong person. Also, the homeowner did not call the police to report the intruder. A silent burglar alarm was going off, so the police were already responding. In addition, the ex-wife also called 911 to report the intruder. The homeowner was busy chasing after the intruder because he was concerned about his mother.

I was just trying to include a one sentence summary of what happened since the sequence of events was a little hard to figure out.

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged August 2017 Gardez Mosque Attack for deletion, because it's a redirect that seems implausible or is an unlikely search term.

If you don't want August 2017 Gardez Mosque Attack to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello Battlesnake1,
Do NOT, please, archive "db.ukrcensus.gov.ua" pages — there are ".asp" pages "down the tree" and the "Wayback" doesn't archive the content of these pages.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited People's Defence Force (Myanmar), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ARTE. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Archive links

Hello Battlesnake1, you seem to have added these archive-url's manually. Please note that they can be added automatically using WP:IABOT. Moreover, the url-status field is always required when the current links are functional. In future, please refrain from adding archive-url's manually. I would normally revert them unless they are added justifiably for dead links. They cause unnecessary bloat. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:34, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Lo Hsing Han.png

A tag has been placed on File:Lo Hsing Han.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary. If you can explain why the file can be used under the non-free content guidelines, please add the appropriate non-free use tag and rationale.

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.

PRODs

Hello, Battlesnake1,

When you tag an article or file for a Proposed deletion, you need to provide a coherent and policy-based deletion rationale. Please do not leave the "reason" or "concern" fields blank or these pages could be untagged. Also, any time you tag a page for any type of deletion (CSD, PROD, AFD/RFD/CFD/FFD/etc.), you should post a notification of this tagging on the User talk page of the page creator. This process is made easier if you use Twinkle to tag pages for deletion or for any problems and go to your Twinkle Preferences and check off "Notify page creator". Thank you very much. Liz ^{Read!
