September 2013[edit]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you have been adding your signature to some of your edits to articles. This is a common mistake to make and has probably already been corrected. Please do not sign your edits to article content, as the article's edit history serves the function of attributing contributions, so you only need to use your signature to make discussions more readable, such as on article talk pages or project pages such as the Village Pump. If you would like further information about distinguishing types of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thank you for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for July 9[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Spintronics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rashba. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, thanks for the new article. I made a few formatting edits to it, and replaced some "ambiguous links" (that linked to disambiguation pages) by links to specific articles that I am pretty sure you intended. But I marked a few more ambiguous links as needing help... could you possibly please "disambiguate" them yourself, assuming you can find specific names of specific Wikipedia articles that are relevant? Either way, thanks for your contributions! --do ncr am 16:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent message[edit]

Hi, I just saw your message at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' newsletter. That's a page for discussing the new "Administrators' newsletter" publication, and it's not a place to ask for help with your account. I've removed that message and will reproduce it here...

My ID is TooOldMan. I contributed to Wikipedia for a number of years. Very recently, my access has been cancelled by DragonflySixtyseven with the motivation "for user's own good". I am appealing this decision and asking for restoring my access. If I made any error, this was unwillingly, and I'm sorry about this. But no error has been specified. Therefore, I'm strongly confused by excommunicating me from Wikipedia. If it is needed to change my ID, I would be happy to do this. But please tell me what should I do.

In conclusion, please restore my access. Thank you.

Your access to Wikipedia has not been cancelled - if it had, you would not have been able to make the edit that you just did. All that happened, back in July 2015, was that DragonflySixtyseven deleted your user page at User:TooOldMan, presumably because there was some problem with the content - I can't see it now so I don't know what was on it. But that does not restrict you in any way from editing Wikipedia - in fact, you have been editing extensively since that happened. So just carry on as normal. I hope that helps, but if you have any further problems, just reply here and I'll try to help. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:54, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Physics Subject Headings: PhySH[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.

A tag has been placed on Physics Subject Headings: PhySH requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://physh.aps.org/about. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. /wiae /tlk 00:15, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Speedy Deletion

Hello, TooOldMan. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.

I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.

Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.

Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.

Some articles contain material written in a promotional tone. These must often be written from scratch. They are vigorously deleted.

Any content that is negative in tone and unsourced or which is disparaging will also be vigorously deleted.

Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

For test edits, click TooOldMan/sandbox

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard to guide you through the creation process.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search

If you have verifiable information from reliable sources that show subject does meet notability requirements Let me know.
CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED.
