Hi, Lord A.Nelson. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Biographies of living people



Hi there, thanks for creating the Sam Broughton ↗ article. Please be advised that biographies of living people must be referenced. Please review Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons ↗.

:You need to add references. Infoboxes are nice extras; references are a requirement. Otherwise, it won't be long before the article is put up for deletion.

Sam Broughton ↗



Howdy hello! I wanted to let you know that I have just turned Sam Broughton into a redirect. I'm afraid that most local mayors do not meet our requirements for notability ↗, i.e. aren't well enough written about to have a standalone article. I know it feels bad to have your work undone, so please ask on my talk page if you have any further questions. If you can find 3 more reliable and independent sources that show significant coverage of the subject, please post them on my talk page and I will reconsider the notability of the subject. Smooth sailing, <span style="color:#6a1f7f">'''Captain Eek'''</span> <sup><span style="font-size:82%"><span style="color:#a479e5">''Edits Ho Cap'n!''</span></span></sup>⚓ ↗ 19:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

:Hello, that's fine. I can understand that there want much in terms of volume of information for the article. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Cheers. Lord A.Nelson (talk) 00:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

::{{ping|CaptainEek}} I concur with the notion above that there wasn't much to that article; hence it wasn't that useful. I suggest, however, that the subject has passed the notability threshold. Over the years, I have seen quite a bit of in-depth reporting. If you are interested in giving this another go, Lord A.Nelson, I suggest that you write this in draft namespace ↗ and I would be willing to give you a hand. I should not write the article myself as it could be argued that I have a conflict of interest ↗. The very first thing would be to have a look around for sources. If enough can be found that is of substance, drafting could begin. '''<span style="color: #000000;">Schwede</span><span style="color: #FF4500;">66</span>''' 03:54, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
:::{{u|Schwede66}}, If a solid draft were created, I'd definitely give it a second look. I have no prejudice against recreation, but such recreation needs appropriate sourcing. Starting in draftspace would be ideal. <span style="color:#6a1f7f">'''CaptainEek'''</span> <sup><span style="font-size:82%"><span style="color:#a479e5">''Edits Ho Cap'n!''</span></span></sup>⚓ ↗ 03:57, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Notice of community-authorized general sanctions regarding COVID-19 ↗


{{Ivmbox|1=This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. ''It does '''not''' imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.''

'''Please carefully read this information:'''

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions ↗ for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 ↗).<br>The specific details of these sanctions are described here ↗{{#ifeq:{{Gs/topics|sanctions sanctions = covid }}||.<br>|&#58;
{{talkquote|}}}}
Broadly, general sanctions ↗ is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. 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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on :Catholic Bishops of Aotearoa New Zealand ↗ 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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Catholic+Bishops+of+Aotearoa+New+Zealand|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here ↗. <!-- Template:Db-nocontent-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="color:black">'''‡ Єl Cid of Valencia'''</span> <sup><span style="color:teal">talk</span></sup> 02:02, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Adding unreferenced content



There seems to be a recurring issue with you adding unreferenced content, and even unreferenced articles ↗. That is a serious issue and it has to stop. Consider yourself warned. Wikipedia has just three core content policies, and verifiability ↗ is one of those. I recommend you give that page a read.

If you can't be bothered to add references, Wikipedia isn't the right hobby for you and you need to look for something else. If you carry on like this, you will soon see yourself blocked. If you need help with figuring out how to do something, please ask. Here's good. '''<span style="color: #000000;">Schwede</span><span style="color: #FF4500;">66</span>''' 07:42, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

:Hello. Thank you for your concern. I can understand the importance of referencing and I totally agree with you. In regard with my 'recurring' issue of adding references, I am shocked. Yes, I can think of three notable examples, the first being of Sam Broughton (in which you left a message on my talk page), the second being Malvern Hills, New Zealand and Homebush, New Zealand ↗. The reasoning for the first two examples are: I had not finished the article and secondly in regards to Homebush, the wikitext was copied over from the page of Aylesbury, New Zealand ↗, which too, had no references. If that had not been addressed since December 2006, then surely it wouldn't hurt for Homebush (but learnt how wrong I was later when I read your message). If I do add something significant, I try and find a source, otherwise I leave it or wait till one is created. Your warning is heeded and I will take note. If there are any other examples of me violating a page with unreferenced material, please let me know as I would not liked to be blocked. I look forward to reading your reply.

Hello, Lord A.Nelson. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation ↗ submission or Draft ↗ page you started, "Malvern Hills ↗".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace ↗, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Malvern Hills, New Zealand|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}}, {{tlc|db-draft}}, or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link ↗. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Kia ora, with your new user name, it seems you are based in Christchurch. I don't think I knew that before. Are you interested in catching up with other Wikipedians? There are monthyly meetups going on; the template below has the dates. The next one is on 12 May! I won't attend as I've moved to Golden Bay; Heather and Mike are running the show.
