If I've made a mistake please don't hesitate to tell me.

If ''you'' have made a mistake don't worry.

The '''do as you would be done by''' and '''suffering of fools gladly''' perhaps ought to be enshrined in Wikipedia's guidelines for editor behaviour.}}

Deletion discussion about Bigsworth chart board ↗

Hello, Msrasnw, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Samf4u, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Bigsworth chart board ↗, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bigsworth chart board ↗.

You might like to note that such discussions ↗ usually run for seven days and are ''not'' ballot-polls. And, our guide ↗ about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with <code><nowiki>{{Re|</nowiki>Samf4u<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>. And, don't forget to sign your reply with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> . Thanks!

Proposed deletion ↗ of :List of people on the postage stamps of Iceland ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :List of people on the postage stamps of Iceland ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Fails WP:LISTN ↗. A seemingly random list, missing many entries (even the very first one, from 1902, Christian IX). Abandoned since its inception in 2010, with hardly anyone interested in it (25 views in 90 days). Sourced to a general catalogue and the homepage of a stamp dealer for some reason.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons ↗.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary ↗ or on the article's talk page ↗.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.

Arno Tausch for deletion all over again

this might interest you

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Arno_Tausch_(4th_nomination)

Springer, one of the world's leading publishers, now lists 70 items by this author, and rumours have it that they prepare a Festschrift with contributions by Hartmut Elsenhans ↗, Manfred Steger ↗ and many others for 2023

Austrian political observer (talk) 05:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Dear Austrian political observer, I think a big part of the problem is the over-pomotional approach that has been taken tothe WP page on Arno Tausch, the defence of the page by some in the AFDs and the spreading cites to him throughout WP. I suspect this is due to a lack of appreciation of the problem of conflict of interest ↗ editing. For example if you yourself have any connections with Arno Tausch that it could be wise to refrain from editing WP in a way that could be seen to be promotional and one should make some mention of any COI that could arise. This is only my view of the WP approach. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:12, 8 July 2022 (UTC))

{{Reflist}}

Answer: I can only repeat: == https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arno_Tausch == This delition was carried out although a major cleanup of the article was finished before - all of a sudden during the debate - a user simply draftified the article, which is now in a good shape. All this is really frustrating: you re-write an article, and - here it disappears! The article now would have met all wikipedia standards, and there are dozens, and dozens of worse articles on social scientists all around the present Encyclopedia.

The author featured in the article, Arno Tausch, has now 70 entries at SpringerLink ↗<ref>https://link.springer.com/search?dc.creator=Arno+Tausch&date-facet-mode=between&showAll=true</ref>, and Open Syllabus, which is a database with nine million English-language syllabi from 140 countries and which was founded at The American Assembly ↗, a public policy institute associated with Columbia University ↗ <ref>https://opensyllabus.org/</ref> lists 59 global classes using materials by Tausch on their syllabi. <ref>https://opensyllabus.org/result/author?id=Arno+Tausch</ref> The decision to delete the article is really absurd Austrian political observer (talk) 21:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC) Austrian political observer (talk) 21:41, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Louis le Broquey Eire Stamp1977.jpg

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:Louis le Broquey Eire Stamp1977.jpg ↗'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline ↗ is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag ↗; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free image File:Nguyen Van Troi Photo.jpg

35px|text-top|left|⚠|link= ↗ Thanks for uploading ''':File:Nguyen Van Troi Photo.jpg ↗'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use ↗. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media ↗).

Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Msrasnw. Thank you for your work on Walter L. Winterbottom ↗. Another editor, Ldm1954, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol ↗ and left the following comment:

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at :Lello Zolla ↗. Your edits appear to be disruptive ↗ and have been or will be reverted ↗.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute ↗ with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page ↗, and seek consensus ↗ with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution ↗ page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards ↗.

If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents ↗.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges ↗. ''The decision at the AfD was very clear; draftify until the obvious errors such as non-existent sources etc were repaired. It was certainly inappropriate to ignore the opinions of multiple editors and the AfD closer, you are making work for others.'' Ldm1954 (talk) 14:24, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to British Rail Class 08 ↗! However, adding a bare URL ↗ is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot ↗. It is preferable to use proper citation templates ↗ when citing sources ↗, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation ↗. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{tl|cite web}} template to cite a web page:
: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.</syntaxhighlight>
which displays ''inline ↗'' in the running text of the article as:
:Lorem ipsum{{fake ref|1}} dolor sit amet.
and displays under '''References''' as:
#^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac ↗". ''Ask a Question''. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.
If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool ↗, or in the wikitext editor ↗, try the reFill tool ↗, and in the Visual Editor ↗, the reference dialog ↗ can convert some bare urls into a full citation.
Once again, thanks for adding references to articles.  <span class="nowrap"><span style="color: RebeccaPurple">Danners430</span> <sub>tweaks made ↗</sub></span> 16:04, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Talk:Criticisms of econometrics ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

A tag has been placed on :Talk:Criticisms of econometrics ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

<blockquote> [multiple comments from other users that this is of such low importance, and generally, all criticisms are not unique to econometrics. criticisms are basically the same criticisms as other causal inference approaches across disciplines. Info on this page should be added to main econometrics page in section * criticism * ]</blockquote>

Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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 ↗.

{{divbox|gray|3=This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article ↗—that is, they do not show ''significant'' coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in ''published'', ''reliable'' ↗, ''secondary'' ↗ sources that are ''independent ↗'' of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people ↗). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help ↗ and learn about mistakes to avoid ↗ when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.|}} The comment the reviewer left was:

{{divbox|blue|3=Well done on creating the draft, and it ''may'' potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG ↗, WP:ANYBIO ↗, WP:NAUTHOR ↗, WP:NPROF ↗) but presently it is not clear that it does.
As you may know, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is '''''notable'''''. Essentially subjects are presumed ''notable'' if they have received significant coverage in ''multiple published'' {{strong|secondary sources ↗}} that are {{strong|reliable ↗}}, ''intellectually independent'' of each other, and {{strong|independent of the subject ↗}}. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’ ↗, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ ↗ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’ ↗. In short, ''"notability"'' requires reliable sources ''about'' the subject, rather than ''by'' the subject.
