Speedy deletion nomination of 2022 in the United Kingdom

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on 2022 in the United Kingdom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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 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. 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.

2021 in the United Kingdom

Hi there.

Can you please learn to write in the correct Wikipedia style? This isn't acceptable:

Five people arrested after England footballers were racially abused online succeeding their Euro 2020 final defeat.

It should look like this:

Five people are arrested after England footballers were racially abused online following their Euro 2020 final defeat.

Spot the difference. The correct English is to have "are" between "people" and "arrested". Five people are arrested. Not "five people arrested".

I only bring this up because you consistently make this mistake with literally every edit you make on that page. Not sometimes, but every. Single. Time.

Also, a better word than "succeeding" is "following".

Thank you.

Stop ignoring these messages, the reverts, and your other notifications. What is wrong with you? I'm requesting you be banned from 2021 in the UK if this continues. Wjfox2005 (talk) 08:48, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CS1 error on Dodgeball

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Dodgeball, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 15:24, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia. DMacks (talk) 19:35, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reflection, I recognise that the source I used may not have met the standards for verifiability and neutrality. I apologies for any inconvenience I have caused. In light of your feedback, I am committed to improving and ensuring that the information I contribute is accurate and well-supported.

However, I do believe that the threat of blocking me from editing is quite unjust. I admire your contributions to this service and strive to be as established as yourself. Before blocking me, please take my considerations into account. Thank you. WikiBits17 (talk) 19:58, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reflection. As an explanation of why such an extreme warning for what seems like a simple bad edit is the intersection of two issues. First, obviously things related to Israel–Gaza, especially anything making any sort of cause–effect connection, require extreme care in both writing and sourcing. And second, the idea you re-added was one where others had already raised concerns about lack of sourcing and your sources seemed to be an unrelated weather report and a whole news service in such a topic-area. DMacks (talk) 21:11, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@DMacks Thanks for your understanding, the weather sourcing was a mistake on my part. All the Best. WikiBits17 (talk) 21:17, 9 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief 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.

Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello WikiBits17! Your additions to Brain have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to 81st Venice International Film Festival.

Disambiguation link notification for February 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Billy Zane, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Epic. 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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 20:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doctormatt Thank you very much for your feedback. I am not as experienced as many other Wikipedians and I'm always willing to learn and improve. I will always make sure to enter a summary of my edits. Thanks again. WikiBits17 (talk) 20:55, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great. Cheers! DoctorMatt (talk) 00:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Death of Vishal Mehrotra has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing.
