I suggest you first try talking to him. From a superficial glance at his edits, I really can't see anything too bad, and I think he's just testing it out. Anyway, tell him to read some Wikipedia guidelines and such, so he can get more experienced with the concept of the wiki, and the policy and guidelines of Wikipedia.

No need to apologize, I know edit summaries often seem brisk. The reason I removed it was simply that one of the main goals in maintaining the quality and readability of the article is avoiding endless lists of examples, and a show like Arrested Development does warrant lots of examples, which can become problematic. So I didn't remove the example because it isn't accurate (since it is), but simply because there are already pleanty of examples of political topicality. Hope that clears things up. -- TM 09:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, you cannot protect an article for an extended period of time, unless it's a high-traffic article such as George W. Bush, RuneScape, etc. Usually, admins protect pages per requests at WP:RFPP, and I believe that's how I first heard about the page. I saw that their was a high level of vandalism, and I hoped protecting the page temporarily would discourage vandals from coming back and editing the page. However, there are some good IP and newly registered users, who lose out when pages are protected. They cannot add their contributions to the page, and this is one of the reasons why pages cannot be protected for long periods of time. We want to stop vandalism, but we also want to keep the page open for everyone to edit. I mean, that's the point of Wikipedia, right? Hope that answers your question, Bkissin.

Thanks for uploading File:Alberton-Roseville.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Where did you get the blank map and what was its licence? ww2censor ( talk) 05:44, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments on the People Alliance Party. I think you're right; I double-checked, and I may have gotten a little ahead of myself. When (if?) they do become "official", I think we should add them if they become recognized by Elections NB. Thanks for fact-checking me! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shawnrouse ( talk • contribs) 14:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
I understand your take on the Leaders infobox, but I'm not sure it's factual to exclude PANB since they are (as of today), officially recognized as a party by Elections NB (
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/new-brunswick/story/2010/06/09/nb-panb-official-party-status-221.html). If we start to pick and choose which facts to put up, aren't we distorting the truth? In my view, it's not for us to decide whether or not they deserve it; you are either a registered party or you aren't. In this case, they are. You used the example of the Alberta election, but that page has the Wild Rose party in the leaders infobox, and they have never won a seat. In any case, thanks for the feedback; I appreciate a good discussion. —Preceding

Thanks for replying. I absolutely see where you are coming from. I think I see the gap between you and I now. You are using Wikipedia conventions of which I'm not aware (because I'm a newbie editor), while I'm just relying on what I consider to be the facts. I'm okay with leaving them out if that's how things are done around here, but I'm not sure it does reflect the facts. Even though PANB is a new party, they are officially registered in NB unlike the Animal Alliance Party or the Canadian Action Party.
By the way, I did a mini-Twitter survey on this question last night on the #nbvotes hashtag. It didn't get a big response, but two people (one NDP and one Tory) thought they should be added. I'm okay with leaving them out if that's the Wikipedia way to do it, but I don't think we have heard the last of this question. I plan to add the PANB candidate names in the "Other" column on the page. I'm sure you wouldn't have a concern with that.
Thanks again for the good discussion; it's great we can talk these things out. Shawnrouse ( talk) 15:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Please take a look at this revision of the article, and scroll down to the Historical Service section. You'll see that there were two identical copies of the list. All I did was remove one of them. The original list is still there, untouched. Another user copied it and pasted it, creating two lists, without giving an explanation. All I did was revert that user's mysterious unexplained duplication of the list. – BMRR ( talk) 00:37, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

If the leader of a party with no seats in the Legislature got to participate in the one-and-only 2007 Election TV debate, I think he should be in the infobox. The support that David Karwacki got in Saskatoon Meewasin also significantly decreased the margins separating the NDP and the SK Party, IMHO. - Jwkozak91 ( talk) 17:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

FYI - Campbell is still the Premier of BC until such time his party elects a new leader.

I have reverted the deletions I made on the election pages in question, and changed the titles to Marginal Seats per discussion on the Ontario election talk page. Sorry for falsely accusing you of reverting my edits, I should have double checked that before I said what I said. Also sorry for not clarifying the comment I made following my response to you, that comment was not directed at you at all but it very much appeared that it was. As you are probably aware, I have commented on the Ontario election page in support of the suggestion made by Vale of Glamorgan. Happy editing. Vietminh ( talk) 02:14, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]).

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know the reason I edited the information you added to Nova Scotia Parliamentary Expenses Scandal in this edit [2]. I read the reference article you used to source the claim that Hurlburt had pleaded guilty, and found that this wasn't exactly the case. His lawyer appeared in court and stated his client will plead guilty when he appears in court on April 12. Therefore a guilty plea hasn't been entered, so the article shouldn't be stating that he has already pleaded guilty. I figured you probably only misread the article, but we're dealing with WP:BLP which is why I wanted to explain to you here why I corrected the info before you seen it changed in the article.
The Green Party is included in the infobox on Ontario general election, 2007, so you are wrong when you say we only include parties that win seats. I think having such a large share of the vote should be enough to include them. -- Noname2 ( talk) 21:01, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey, no need to apologize for asking for another source. Your reasoning made sense, and it wasn't at all a problem. About the polling calls, I think it was more that the Conservatives were implying he'd step down and force a by-election, but I'll admit at the time it was kind of hard to tell if he was running again or not.

Thanks for uploading File:DavidBertschiPhotograph.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 21:49, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bkissin, I have cleaned up a significant amount in the nominated candidates section as you asked for in template. The new ridings are now included, I fixed the party order and added a number of candidates. One problem I ran into is Elections Nova Scotia lists a new riding as "Halifax Armdale" but because it was not already listed somewheres, I have no idea which of the Halifax sections it's supposed to be listed in. Also, the new "Sackville" riding, I wasn't sure what to link as there was previously a Sackville riding up to 1993. I was hoping you could check these problems out, as I think I have probably taken the section as far as I can for now. I'll keep checking the nominated candidates and add them as they become available. Cmr08 ( talk) 22:51, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Bridge Party of Canada 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 removed 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.

I totally get your reasoning, and I really wouldn't be shocked if there does end up being a by-election in Ottawa-Vanier. I just think that at this point it might be a bit premature, given all the other things that could happen; for instance, his health could theoretically remain well enough (relatively speaking) where he's still serving as an MP by the time the next election is held (whether it be in 2019 or theoretically earlier if a snap election is held).
It wouldn't shock me, I just think including it now is a bit too presumptive. Tholden28 ( talk) 03:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm the author, and I'm not yet requesting a re-review. I do intend to revise further. Robert B. Barr is notable in two ways as a Rabbi: his congregation has been controversial with the official Reform Judaism movement in that it takes a humanistic perspective. I can document that significance. Barr has challenged conventional thought within American Judaism. He is also credited with being one of the first online congregations - again, documentable. He is well-published and a regular lecturer on notable topics. Finally, his candidacy itself is notable and well-cited in the draft article. There have only been two rabbis who have ever run for Congress, and neither we active pulpit rabbis with actual congregations. Were he to win, Barr would be the first rabbi to serve in the US House. The very notability of these items can sound promotional, but these are established facts which are notable. Can you highlight particular phrases that either need rewording or need a citation? That would help.

Hello,
I added a lot of sources that repeat the facts that I have provided in the article. can you please let me know exactly what part of the references is not satisfactory??
Great, I will take a look and update the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ketikh ( talk • contribs) 09:25, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi. I am confused by the refusal. LO3 Energy has been reported by numerous major media sources and the references in the article include in-depth reports from the New York Times, the Guardian, New Scientist and Fox Business. If required, I can also add in reports from Wired, the Daily Telegraph and Scientific American and many others.
The Brooklyn Microgrid, which enabled the first peer-to-peer transaction of energy, is a key marker in the development of new transactive energy network developments which are of great interest to popular science. Having this information on Wikipedia - and I plan to also write an informative article on the Brooklyn Microgrid - is of benefit to the public realm.
I am happy to work on content to ensure it reads impartially if you feel it doesn't, but I do strongly dispute the claim that the references do not show the company's notability.
Please could you give a response as I would like to progress this page quickly. I really need to know what I have to do as I do believe the credits in global media make this a viable company to have a wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wdmguk ( talk • contribs) 17:24, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
Can you provide specifics of what is not acceptable? It says "should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed." I've provided 14 different sources including newspapers and government pages. I've not included the organization's website, press releases, social media etc. The last citation is an online blog so in re-reading the guidelines, that one probably doesn't carry weight. I didn't include any op-eds, opinion pieces, letters to the editor etc. It would be helpful to know which sections and which citations don't meet the standards.
Thanks.

Hi and thanks for your work reviewing new articles. Please remember to check for copyright violations. The particular one I saw was Draft:Napoli v Red Bull Leipzig Live Video Stream, which was copied from http://www.sofascore.com/rb-leipzig-msv-duisburg/TabskCo. Thank you, — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 16:28, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Clearly you do not understand notability rules for professional boxers.
Dealing with crap like this was the reason I left Wikipedia after editing for years. Obviously things have not improved.
Want to see another boxing article I started about another boxer at a similar stage of his career that someone like you thought was not notable?

You said that I didn't add any more references, but actually I added two more references. I really don't understand how it's possible to overlook that.
It's fine if you reject the article, but if you do so, you have to explain me exactly why.
That first guy simply said 'you have not shown that this model is particularly famous or significant.' and 'All you've done is cite the manual'.
Why do I have to show that the model is particularly famous or significant? There's no rule that says Wikipedia may only contain articles about famous or significant things. That keyboard may not be very famous, it's a really old 80s keyboard... But I researched about it, watched several videos, read the entire manual and collected all information I could find in the internet and combined them into one article, so it can be improved by other people later on with new information, that aren't yet available. I'm a 90s kid, I can't know how famous that keyboard was back then in the 80s. It was only covered in some very old music magazine and I cited that one in the latest revision. However, I know that there are other pages on Wikipedia about other keyboards by Yamaha with equivalent information and they didn't get rejected.
I don't only cite from the manual anymore and am referring to other sources, too. There's just not much more that I can include. If you disagree, please try yourself to find more information (which is hardly possible) and help me improving it. But please don't reject it without any tips on how to improve it.

Hey!
Thanks for the feedback on my article Draft:Movement For!. Some parts indeed were translated from the Latvian page, but some where added. You mentioned that the article needs a little work on article grammar. I edited a few mistakes that I noticed, but can you let me know if there are any more and if so, can you please point them out?
Thanks in advance! -- Svx101 ( talk) 08:20, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi you recently left a comment on the Page Draft:Motty Steinmetz. The main feedback was to remove promotionalism from it-I've tried to do this but I'm still very unsure if I have done enough. Would it be possible for you to have a look at it?
Thank you Adam Bernstein ( talk) 09:48, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
HI,
I cannot find any other, external and reliable references, outside the MPS. I've checked several other MPIs and they have no or only a few references, most of them really to the MPS (mother). So, could you please help us? Any idea what kind of references could match?
best,
