Hello, MWellmann

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Jessamyn, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Joe Litchfield, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

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

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hey there -- just wanted to say, this page will likely be okay but it needs references. The link at the top of the page can help you find some. Just add one or two and you can even use this citation tool to get web addresses into wikistyle. Jessamyn (talk) 01:22, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there - I inserted 2 more references. Best, Maike MWellmann (talk) 15:52, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

A tag has been placed on Brendon Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. ─ The Aafī (talk) 03:58, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Swimmers[edit]

Hi. Please note that everything you add to an article must be verified with reliable sources, and the burden is with you to provide them. Please do not add any content unless it is backed up with sources. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:39, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Absolutely - I am the Team Manager of the NYBreakers and these information come directly from the swimmers. Best, Maike — Preceding unsigned comment added by MWellmann (talkcontribs)
Hello, please read WP:Conflict of interest, and WP:Verify, as User:Lugnuts has rightly pointed out. Getting the information directly from the swimmers is WP:Original research, which Wikipedia doesn't allow. Thanks. Captain Calm (talk) 17:00, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Emily Escobedo moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Emily Escobedo, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

A tag has been placed on Brendon Smith requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Matthew Richards (swimmer)[edit]

Hello MWellmann,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Matthew Richards (swimmer) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Hello John B123, I don't quite understand why it should be deleted. The International Swimming League requests Wikipedia pages for every athlete on the league.

Your contributed article, Chris Reid (swimmer)[edit]

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, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Chris Reid (swimmer). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Christopher Reid (swimmer). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Christopher Reid (swimmer). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Dylsss(talk contribs) 00:39, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
