Speedy deletion nomination of Laine mitchell[edit]

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Laine mitchell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:48, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --BlackAce48 (talk) 15:51, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. --BlackAce48 (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009[edit]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did with Laine mitchell, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Happysailor ^(Talk) 16:00, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you think the article should stay give a few good reasons why here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackAce48 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to 2010 earthquakes, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: 2010 earthquakes was changed by Giggles416 (u) (t) making a minor change adding "!!!" on 2010-05-06T03:13:31+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 03:13, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What are the four general rules of Wikipedia?

The four general rules are to respect your fellow Wikipedians, remain neutral, cite your sources, and to ignore a rule if it prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia.

How do I edit a page?

Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' on the top of the page that you want to edit.
Make your changes in the edit window.
Preview your changes by clicking the 'Show preview' button.
Click the 'Save page' button.

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page for more detailed information.

Why can't I edit some particular pages?

Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them.

Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?

Use the main sandbox or create your own personal sandbox to experiment.

How do I create an article?

Please use the Article Wizard to create one, then add references to the article as explained below.

What are references, sources, and citations all about?

All claims must be supported by a book, website, or news organization independent of the subject of the article. The source must be reliable, meaning it cannot be a blog, MySpace page, or personal website. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to prove that an inaccurate statement is true, and that it should stay in the article. The policy regarding this states that the statement has to be verifiable, not necessarily true. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for more information.

How do I insert a reference into an article?

For inline references:

Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
Click 'Edit this page' or 'Edit' in the Wikipedia article, and insert a claim into that article stating a fact about the subject. Don't click the save button just yet.
In the search you did in step 1, find a website that supports the claim you made in step 2. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
In the article, after the claim you made in step 2, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied in step 5.
If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

For references put at the end of an article:

Do a search on Ask.com, Google, or your preferred search engine for the subject of the article that you want to put a reference in.
In the search, find a website that supports the claims made in the article. Highlight the address in the address bar (where it says http://www.some-website.com/some-page.htm).
Go to the reference generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out the as many fields as you can. Then click 'Get reference wiki text'.
Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text.
Go to the Wikipedia article. If the article does not have a References, Footnotes, Notes, or Bibliography section, then add this below the See Also section and above the External Links section:

==References==
{{Reflist}}

Then, add this after the {{Reflist}}, in a new line:

{{Refbegin}}
*Press paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) after this asterisk, then remove the <ref></ref> tags

{{Refend}}

What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?

A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

How do I format text on Wikipedia?

See Wikipedia:Cheatsheet.

and

Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.

* You seem to have had a slightly shaky start, please read the links in the welcome section above as they may help. Your recent edit to 2010 earthquakes was fine, but you didn't leave an edit summary or a source. Every fact added should be supported by a reliable source. Happy editing! 220.101 talk^\Contribs 08:50, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

August 2010[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Love the Way You Lie. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 02:28, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

two incorrect edits here[edit]

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to List of artists who reached number one in the United States. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. - eo (talk) 10:40, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

November 2010[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to 2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi‎. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 06:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal note[edit]

Hello User:Giggles416,

I am the editor that welcomed you in August and also left info on how to make edit summaries.
It is of concern that you continue to make changes without edit summaries and apparently without sources. Your recent edit to 2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi‎ for example. You changed "Over 320,000 people were evacuated" to 400,000 and "Over 153 people were killed" to 206. But you did not provide new references to verify this. The reference for those statements still has the deaths at 153, the highest article figure for evacuation is 350,000, for deaths 194; so I have reverted your edit. It is up to you to provide proof, otherwise your edits may well be reverted on sight!
You have not answered any of the above messages from other concerned editors. We don't bite! (at least we shouldn't!, see wp:BITE), so please don't be afraid to, ask for help (use Template:Help me), or take advice from more experienced editors.
If you continue on this course it is very likely that you will be blocked from editing. - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 06:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

* I see you have reverted me. You are not allowed to alter or add to articles without being able to verify facts with a reliable source. The burden of proof is on you to support your edit or it may be deleted or reverted!. If you continue to do this you will be reported at Wikipedia Administrators Noticeboard/Incidents and may very well be blocked. Also see wp:3rr regarding edit warring. - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 06:31, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still no source[edit]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - eo (talk) 12:09, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
