Proposed deletion of Change water to oil

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Change water to oil, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Regarding your comments here [1] - Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Flewis^(talk) 11:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue removing proposed deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Change water to oil here [2], you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Flewis^(talk) 11:22, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2008 November 8. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to blocking of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox.

Change water to oil

Hey there! Instead of edit warring and attacking other users, perhaps you could spend your time trying to improve the article in question? To remain on wikipedia, the article needs to be well referenced in reliable, independent sources. Please take a read of WP:RS to see what this means. The tags that have been placed on the article need to remain to inform other editors of how the article needs to be improved, please don't remove these again. Any questions, please ask. Cheers! Nouse4aname (talk) 11:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi, that's quite ok. Unfortunately I have tried looking for references also, and have been unable to come up with any that would pass our requirements. The article has now been nominated for deletion, which should generate some discussion and will result in other people also looking for sources. If none can be found however, it is likely that the article will be deleted. On a different note, I think your English is pretty good, it's better than my Chinese! Nouse4aname (talk) 11:58, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

@Alonso McLaren. One advice: in english wikipedia is essential to find english language sources for your articles. I recommend using books.google.com for historical topics and scholar.google.com for historical and academical topics (like sociology and anthropology) --Enric Naval (talk) 13:51, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Change water to oil

I have nominated Change water to oil, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Change water to oil. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Proposed deletion nomination for Dihydrogen monoxide hoax

I don't want to be rude, but did you even look at the press coverage and references in the article before tagging it?

It's been covered widely in mass media over a period of years. Not notable is not a reasonable statement.

Please pay more attention. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 06:55, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Your ArbCom Vote

Thanks for your interest in this year's ArbCom elections. Unfortunately, we were required to set a criteria for voters, and that was decided to be the following:

• Voters must have a registered account that was created on or before November 1, 2008.
• Voters must have made 150 edits to articles on that account on or before November 1, 2008.

According to an automatic check, which I confirmed by looking at your contribution history, you have not met the requirements. Either you have not made 150 edits to articles (these edits must be in the main namespace) or you did not make them before the deadline of 23:59:59 November 1, 2008 (UTC). I've indented your votes. If you believe I sent this message in error, and that you do meet the requirements, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks, ST47 (talk) 01:45, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

hello, I just expanded this article that you created. I thought you might want to take a look at it and see how much it has grown since it started :) --Enric Naval (talk) 05:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tower of the Sorcerer

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tower of the Sorcerer, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

I could not find any significant coverage in reliable secondary sources (see [4]) that can establish notability of this game. All I can find are download sites and cheats. I cannot think of any place for a merge or redirect.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AFD formatting...

I don't know where you made your edit, but when you did it didn't actually put it in the same place as the rest of the deletion discussion. Somehow its showing up below everything else, even the stuff that was added after your edit. - Drew Smith What I've done 09:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Xiaoshenyang

A tag has been placed on Xiaoshenyang 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 a person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 04:11, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

March 2014

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Wikipedia talk:Gender-neutral language. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. also using talk page as forum EvergreenFir (talk) 04:43, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

February 2016

Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Sovereign citizen movement. Your edits have been or will be reverted or removed.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Mlpearc (open channel) 15:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

You came to my talk page complaining about my removal of the NPOV tag, using the Columbia University IP address 160.39.203.39 (talk · contribs). You then posted from this account confirming that you were the IP by your comments on FEMA. Then another Columbia IP address, which I assume was you, also removed the NPOV tag. Please stick to using this account. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 16:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
