For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tim Barritt

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 Tim Barritt 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Drmies (talk) 01:32, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lavender Federation Trail

I posted this on my talk page in response to your message, but I thought I should also put it here to be sure you received it.

I have rolled back the edit because of your citation of the trail web site, your identification of yourself and your reasonable explanation. The citation should have been given with the edits; in the edit summary noting an update if it is currently correctly shown in the article. We are all volunteers at Wikipedia as well, as I suppose you are aware. The reason that reliable sources must be provided for nearly any change that could be suspicious is that bogus edits are made literally every minute of the day every day of the year to the English Wikipedia. These are often claimed to be made by persons who claim to have knowledge, or even with knowledge, but are given no citations. The reader cannot know if these people are who they say they are, or even are knowledgeable people when they do not identify themselves. They may or may not be valid changes which is why personal knowledge is not a reliable source under the guidelines - and some of these have checked out as wrong. Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Citing sources, Help:Footnotes. While we can track down the validity of some of them, the limited number of human volunteers who supplement the work of the bots could not possibly keep up with confirming or refuting every suspect change if they had to do so - when more than 99% of the ones that are reverted are bogus, or at least there is no later justified. I am sorry that in this case you have had to further justify the change and if I should have known it was valid, I am sorry that I did not. I was simply following the rules, augmented by years of experience with bogus changes. We are human after all and do make some mistakes. The important thing is to get the text confirmed and correct as promptly as possible.

I congratulate you and the volunteers who keep up trails. I enjoy these myself, though I suppose a little less so as the years advance. Please do not take any of my remarks as critical. They are meant to be explanatory. Yet, I know that occasionally one can be misinterpreted or give offense when no such intent was present. So I wanted to be clear about that. Good luck with your continuing improvements to the trail. Donner60 (talk) 08:11, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
