About red links

Those red links help readers find the way that the articles haven't been created, removing them will confuse readers:

Red links for subjects that should have articles but do not, are not only acceptable, but needed in the articles. They serve as a clear indication of which articles are in need of creation, and encourage it. Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Misplaced Pages should not have an article on that subject.

You're very conveniently forgetting WP:REDNOT which is a part of that same page you're linking. To quote-

Red links generally are not included in See also sections, nor are they linked to through templates such as Main or Further, since these navigation aids are intended to help readers find existing articles.

An article should never be left with a non-existent (red-linked) category in it. Either the category should be created, or else the nonexistent category link should be removed or changed to a category that does exist.

Certain types of redlinks aren't allow. Ones to categories, Main and Further templates, and See also links. There was a talk page discussion on some of that late last year....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:06, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

But we always use them on tennis articles, same as before, and nobody except you say that is not OK. 333-blue 23:02, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

The same argument used in that talk page discussion too except it was for law articles. It didn't pass muster if you would bother to read it....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:03, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Almost all tennis editors accept them. 333-blue 23:13, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Read Argumentum ad populum....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:16, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

I don't what did you mean "the roof". The article says: three men make a tiger. 333-blue 23:24, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

It is hard to remove all red links in those tennis articles. 333-blue 00:01, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

I pang other editors to discuss with them. 333-blue 10:18, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

You pang what you think will be a friendly audience. This is wikipedia policy. Go to WP:RED's talk page. That is where a community discussion should take place. Also remember what it reads about category redlinks. It says they should never be made. I warn you- I will take you to ANI if re-add one again. You re-added two last night....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 10:23, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

OK, I have moved the discussion to WT:RED. 333-blue 10:30, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. —S Marshall T/C 23:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

I feel no need to respond to this till either someone makes a comment on it that I need to address or seondly you properly file an ANI complaint. That it the job of the OP and so far you have failed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:28, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Also, another thought is if an image was "published" by being publicly displayed... sometimes that works. Montanabw 19:00, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Fast Clip.jpg

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

I got it fixed for you. Montanabw 06:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Moved Nickells to prime time, no sense wasting time with an AfC reviewer (AfC is where articles go to die... meh). Next draft, feel free to create a sandbox in your userspace, such as User:WilliamJE/Articletitlehere and create and save your draft that way, then move it into article space once you have it ready to go (I have craploads of these, see, e.g. User:Montanabw/Dude Rancher Lodge) and then you can, if you choose, put a speedy deletion tag on the sandbox (or not).

Speedy deletion declined: Wei Hang Flight 252

Hello WilliamJE. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Wei Hang Flight 252, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: although certainly non-notable, this is not a hoax - see comment at the AfD. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 14:13, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Advice for the future: Don't accuse anyone of lying. It's usually pretty much impossible to prove intent, and it's probably uncivil and an AGF violation to boot. If you have evidence someone just said something untrue or without foundation, you can say that. It's not uncivil. And it usually makes it easier to find agreement and get back to improving the encyclopedia.--Elvey 08:35, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
