Proposed deletion ↗ of :Timeline of the Universe ↗


left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Timeline of the Universe ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''This dab page doesn’t seem to be necessary. With the article that’s currently titled Timeline of the early universe. Hatnotes will work best here.'''</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.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> Interstellarity (talk) 00:58, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

en dashes in astro names



do you think an asteroid named in honour of two people etc should take an en dash, the way a comet named after two discoverers does?

Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Draft:Dino man ↗


48px|left|alt=|link= ↗

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as :Draft:Dino man ↗, is considered to be vandalism ↗ and is prohibited ↗. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox ↗. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the '''loss of editing privileges ↗'''.

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 ↗. <!-- Template:Db-hoax-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <sub>S.G.

An overhaul of the Featured Lists delisting prose-heavy ones took that article's star. I started a GAN, they decided to fail because I had only two edits.

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗


You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 17:33, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
