Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Devenear De'sha Curtis

Hello Optakeover. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Devenear De'sha Curtis, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a draft page - the "A" speedy criteria only apply to articles. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 18:25, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I have still zapped it, though, because it was a copyvio from http://ualr.edu/forum/index.php/2014/10/10/devenaires-redemption-in-love/. When you find something that has been input all in one, and is written in that flowery PR style, it's worth feeding a sentence or two into Google, which will often show you where it comes from. JohnCD (talk) 18:32, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hey JohnCD, thanks for your message. I'll keep that in mind. Sorry for the error. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 03:13, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

David Pearce

Can you please add all the information you have removed as I am currently getting the references now. The Reg Gutteridge quotes were directly from The fight footage from the BBC Archives. And the Steve sims quote is directly from himself via interview. The Bartley Gorman story is backed up in his own autobiography and I can provide a reference.

Thank you.

Hi, thank you for your message. I have created David Pearce (boxer)/Sandbox containing the stuff I removed. Please read WP:BLP and WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:SOURCES to understand that all content on all articles on living persons on Wikipedia must be backed up with proper sources. As the page has been semi-protected, you will have to create an account before editing David Pearce (boxer). Regards, Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 11:51, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

I have tagged the sandbox page for deletion. Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Pearce_(boxer)&oldid=716559264 for the edits. Please create your own sandbox to do your edits. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 13:24, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

I knew how to edit via the old way.

I do not know how to edit in the format it is?

Why is the the professional heading being deleted all that information is via Box-rec/Boxnation and www.Johnnyowen.co.uk?

I can put references if you take the protection so I know what I am doing.

Also can you clear up this living person matter?

David is dead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FinnRiver180 (talk • contribs) 16:50, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

I have tried to add the quotes with references and I am being told it's not the correct page.

This page is important to Newport and the deceased boxer in question and after 16 years of collecting for the library and gaining video footage and in talks for a city memorial in memory of David.

This is slowing and stopping all the good work people have done, there was nothing on that page that couldn't be put to a book or a record or a DVD.

Can you please help as I understand you needed references and I am willing to oblige but at the moment this situation is very upsetting.

Kind Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by FinnRiver180 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

@FinnRiver180: Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. On Wikipedia, we have specific policies to ensure that the content that we place here is of the highest quality. Please read WP:VERIFIABILITY and WP:SOURCES for more information. I mistakenly thought that the person was alive, but it appears I was wrong on that. My apologies. Articles of living people are ruled even more strictly when it comes to content. The general rule on Wikipedia is, if it cannot be found in sources both online and offline in print, it cannot be on Wikipedia because it cannot be verified. All the best, Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 22:28, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

9 songs

@Purple Showers: Okay, apparently, you win on that one. Sorry to delete your comment, I don't like that kind of stuff :P Sorry for the mistake and thanks for your message. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 23:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

where is this a bad edit

isn't more information the point? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.191.44 (talk) 23:30, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps this is a comprehension problem. Let's take the relevant bits in pieces. They (as in Beavis and Butt-Head, the fictional characcters the paragraph is about) later view the actual Breaking the Law video in the third season episode "Scared Straight". During the viewing they are distressed by Rob Halford's clothing and decide that, even though they still like Judas Priest as a band, the song sucks.. I mean, you can argue with Mike Judge's if you like, but I that being the characters opinion since 1993 still stands. I'm putting it back. It's about the show. The paragraph was already about the show. I expanded it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.99.191.44 (talk) 23:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- Just checked your edits once again. Sorry I messed up this one. Thank you for your message and my sincere apologies again. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 23:45, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Apologies

Hey, I'm really sorry, I know my edit may not have seemed as factually productive as what is usually expected from a database as acclaimed as this one. I totally understand why my contribution was reverted. I take no offense. Just know that it was legitimate and I wouldn't lie. Thanks for keeping this brilliant website in-shape and up to date. I'm a real fan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:36F8:A40:7575:DF21:8508:CE4F (talk) 03:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Sandbox

I posted that protection request before the admins did some technical measure to block the vandal from posting inappopriate images. Also since the page has been protected in the past I thought that it would stop the person from wasting editors' time. Feinoha ^Talk 03:33, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

@Feinoha: Ah, now I get it. Thank you for telling me. I think it was due to very severe abuse. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 03:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

David Pearce

As it was your mistake regarding the person in question was alive can you re - add everything and take off the protection please.

This is so I can foot note and verify the quotes. And reference the subject headings.

Thank you.

Regarding your link fir the fight footage there is already fight footage on www.Johnnyowen.com.

This situation could all be sorted in one edit if I am allowed to do it.

The Bartley Gorman reference is the book "King of the Gypsies" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.119.66.145 (talk) 09:54, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Looks like the coi edits are back on Shehab Younis, and it looks like he might have a SPI also looking over it. Wgolf (talk) 21:08, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi

Just wondering if this was you or an impersonator. Thanks. GAB^Hello! 14:54, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

@GeneralizationsAreBad: Hi GAB. I can confirm that it a sock account created by me as per WP:VALIDALT for testing purposes. ~~. Do I need to confirm my committed identity? I am currently trying to find a template to paste onto the sock userpage as per the same policy.~~ Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 14:56, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Edit on List of Decepticons

Sorry dude that removed content was highlighted and i accidentally hit backspace with my elbow. Thanks for warning me about this and if you could please help to re add the content mistakenly deleted i would be so happy.

thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:8000:1CB2:A8DC:74C7:5520:12D9 (talk) 01:39, 29 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hi, I see you tagged Supriya Kumar Chakraborty as a WP:U5 violation, "Blatant misuse of Wikipedia as a web host". Thanks for spotting it and tagging it, but the U-series speedy deletion categories are only applicable to pages in user space and not to articles in article space. The appropriate tag here was WP:A7, "No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)". I have deleted it under that instead. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:55, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

@Boing! said Zebedee:No wonder I was wondering why U5 was not shown as an option on Twinkle. Understood, but next time if it was still speedy'd under a different criteria, I don't think it's necessary to inform me, because admins ~~always~~ usually speedy on criteria different from the tagged criteria. Anyway, thank you for informing me. Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 08:57, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Sure, I was just letting you know for your information. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Hey Optakeover, thanks for the feedback! I'll use the sandbox next time. True the info I was adding wasn't completely constructive, but it was in attempt to expand the article. The feedback was appreciated. Cheers! -BS108

Hi BS108, thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! Just remember not to copy text directly for copyright sources, and always cite them for verification purposes. Regards, Optakeover^(U)(T)(C) 09:13, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
