==Orphaned non-free image File:Salim Hamdan.jpg==
==Tagging pages for speedy deletion ==
[[File:Ambox warning blue.svg|35px|text-top|left|⚠|link=]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Salim Hamdan.jpg]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).
Hello, Dmartin969,


Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described in [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#F5|section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-orphaned fair use-notice --> --[[User:B-bot|B-bot]] ([[User talk:B-bot|talk]]) 17:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
If you are going to tag pages for speedy deletion, you have to know, thoroughly, what the [[WP:CSD]] criteria are and when they apply. So please review this policy page or cease tagging pages for deletion. It also helps if you use [[WP:TWINKLE]] which will prompt you and present you with different possible CSD criteria depending on which namespace the page is in. But you can't just make up your own reason for why a page should be deleted via speedy deletion. If you use [[WP:PROD]] or [[WP:AFD]], you can present an argument for deletion but that's not how speedy deletion works. Thank you. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:Liz|'''''L'''''iz]]</span> <sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/Liz|'''''Read!''''']] [[User talk:Liz|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 07:35, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
:{{yo|Liz}} is right. Your behavior on the [[Mary Reed House]] clearly shows you don't understand the [[WP:CSD]] policy. {{green| If an editor other than the creator removes a speedy deletion tag in good faith, it should be taken as a sign that the deletion is controversial and another deletion process should be used.}}

::My comments above were assuming good faith in the context of your shenanigans on [[Mary Reed House]]. I looked further and see you did the same nonsense at [[Guy C. Barton House]].

:::{{ping|Toddst1}} I mistakenly used PROD, and not AFD, and for that I apologise. Your accusation of a COI was baseless. Furthermore, the rude comment made in your edit summary on [[Guy C.

A tag has been placed on [[:Thank Goodness You're Here!]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7|section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be about web content that does not [[Wikipedia:Credible claim of significance|credibly 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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about [[Wikipedia:Notability|what is generally accepted as notable]].


If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Thank Goodness You're Here!|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 deleted 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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== goings-on at AFD and perhaps elsewhere ==


== Unexplained reversion against the manual of style ==
As I said at both [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Guy C. Barton House]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mary Reed House]], I think those deletion nominations are fine, and I do think that it is good for wikiproject NRHP and other groups of editors to be questioned sometimes.


Hi there. You recently reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Delta_Air_Lines&diff=1246393163&oldid=1246275387 this edit of mine], but did not provide any explanation. As I mentioned in my edit summary we cannot use small fonts in infoboxes and it is against the MOS, specifically [[MOS:SMALL]] and [[MOS:SMALLFONT]]. Can you explain why you reverted this edit? [[User:Canterbury Tail|<b style="color: Blue;">Canterbury Tail</b>]] [[User talk:Canterbury Tail|<i style="color: Blue;">talk</i>]] 17:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
You probably don't need my help, but I do mean it [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FMary_Reed_House&diff=1134078398&oldid=1133955050 with my offer to raise issues at wp:ANI or elsewhere]. Often is easier and better for someone else to raise issues, if there is a pattern to be addressed. I do apologize for what went on there.


:I wasn't aware of that part of the MOS to be honest. The way I read it is that smalltext can be used if done so sparingly… except in infoboxes. Not really a fan of this guideline as I think it just encourages more text being shoved into the inboxes than necessary. I'll avoid it from now on. [[user:dmartin969|–DMartin]] 01:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
As an aside, really: if perhaps you do have local association and/or do in fact view Wikipedia coverage of historical-ish places in Omaha to be overly generous, I would be interested in helping to address that. Although in my editing I mainly build up coverage about historic places, I and other NRHPers also know that separate articles are often not justified and can seem to be inappropriately calling for even more treatment. Alternatives such as abbreviated treatment in a city or neighborhood article, or merger of separate treatments into one list-article (leaving no redlinks suggesting expansion is wanted, at the same time as providing better treatment of multiple places in context together), can often be more appropriate. I'd collaborate to better address Omaha "landmarks" if you're interested.
::Actually the guideline results in less text, because the text takes up more room. So you need to make better choices about what goes into infoboxes. However all that being said, this is an accessibility thing. Infoboxes already have smaller text, and using small would make it smaller again.

== Allways name the reason of the edit/revert in the summary ==

Re.: your revert of vandalism on<br>
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vectorskin2010fan&diff=next&oldid=1134705582

The revert itself was warranted.

What I was missing was the ''reason'' for the revert, in the summary.

At the ''top'' of the history there appears only WHAT has been done but not WHY. The concerned or interested has to scroll down and study the actual difference to understand.

I learned that, in the summary of an edit, we should ''always'' give the ''reason'', especially for a ''revert''. I'm not sure, whether the recipient of a revert notification can immediately see the reason/summary in the notification, but he can at least see it when he clicks on the notification.

It's just one "word": "vand" which should be added.

I know there is lots of vandalism to be corrected, and few who do this job and it seldom gets thanked, but you probably also know that a notification about a revert instantly raises the adrenalin level i.e. causes stress.

If I reverted vandalism on the user page of someone else, I would (probably) write: "3rd party vandalism".

When you own something, anything the entity does on your watch goes on your docket.

Sports team owners are considered as champions because nothing major happens (trades/free agents/hiring coaches and front office) unless the owner signs off, since he pays the bills.

He's not a player, but he pays the players on the field...he didn't hit the home run, but he signed the guy that did, so if the Ricketts family didn't sign the check to bring the player in, the player doesn't hit the home run to win the game, and the Cubs don't win the Series.

Ricketts|brother]] is(and it's not in his infobox either). I'm not saying it isn't worth mentioning in the article, but including it in the infobox is not necessary and not standard.

It was pointed out to me that strictly speaking you were both edit-warring, in that [[User:LiteraryEditor414]]'s edits were not vandalism. They were disruptive in the sense that they were removing the sourced Spanish origin from the infobox, but ideally you should have redirected LiteraryEditor414 to the talk page to review the sources and discuss how an addition origin could be added, provided that there were reasonable sources for that. (I'm assuming this could be a case like [[Karen (name)]] where there are unrelated language variants that happen to be spelled the same in English).

Orphaned non-free image File:Salim Hamdan.jpg

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Salim Hamdan.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Meet the MP

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Dmartin969. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Meet the MP, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thank Goodness You're Here!

[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 Thank Goodness You're Here! 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 web content that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Unexplained reversion against the manual of style

[edit]

Hi there. You recently reverted this edit of mine, but did not provide any explanation. As I mentioned in my edit summary we cannot use small fonts in infoboxes and it is against the MOS, specifically MOS:SMALL and MOS:SMALLFONT. Can you explain why you reverted this edit? Canterbury Tail talk 17:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of that part of the MOS to be honest. The way I read it is that smalltext can be used if done so sparingly… except in infoboxes. Not really a fan of this guideline as I think it just encourages more text being shoved into the inboxes than necessary. I'll avoid it from now on. –DMartin 01:14, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the guideline results in less text, because the text takes up more room. So you need to make better choices about what goes into infoboxes. However all that being said, this is an accessibility thing. Infoboxes already have smaller text, and using small would make it smaller again.

Editor experience invitation

[edit]

Hi Dmartin969 :) I'm looking for experienced editors to interview here. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 16:13, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have some question for you

[edit]

Would you please Move Draft: Draft:Khadija Omar to MainSpace. It's ready to moving! 77.77.219.225 (talk) 07:22, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like you submitted it through Articles For Creation. I'm not a part of that project so I can't approve it, but I'm sure they'll get to it soon. It looks like a good article, but I recommend you add some inline references to the "background" section. Good work and happy editing! –DMartin –DMartin 07:29, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also if you were to create an account(which I highly recommend), and become an autoconfirmed user you'll be able to move them yourself without having to go though AfC. –DMartin 07:33, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
