Speedy deletion

When you put up an article for speedy deletion, what criteria you use matters. I recently declined your speedy deletion nomination on Forgotten Voices Photo Journal, because it wasn't actually promotional. I replaced it with a PROD, because the A7 criteria doesn't fit (the A7 criteria is for people or groups of people, musicians or bands, clubs, companies or organizations, web content, animals, and events), and there's no other fitting criteria. I talked to you about the criteria for A7 speedy deletion at Talk:A Harlem Love Song. Also, if you put up an article for speedy deletion, be sure to notify the author of the article.

Hello 69.181.253.230. You tagged a page for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the creators of articles tagged for speedy deletion should be warned and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. All of the major speedy deletion templates contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the creator's talk page. Thank you.Template:Z19 – 296.x (talk) 23:20, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to James Robert Ford may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave my operator a message on his talk page. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 03:20, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm EuroCarGT. I noticed that you recently made an edit to Talk:Rezaya that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ///EuroCarGT 21:59, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

John J. O'Connor

To User 69.181.253.230 You deleted a revision and update regarding John J. O'Connor (journalist). I thank you for taking time to review the article. However I personally knew Mr. O'Connor for over 25 years and I can accurately speak about his being a philanthropist and about his personal life outside of the New York Times. If you would like to see more photos (where he is shown) or if you would like to see some of his letters addressed to me to confirm my statements, by all means, please let me know and I will gladly email them to you. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Takehimtocourt (talk • contribs) 02:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad you had somebody nice in your life. You, however, are not a reliable source when it comes to Misplaced Pages articles. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 14:30, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

December 2013

Hi 69.181.253.230. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for User:Fireproofgames, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Only one section was promotional Dark Sun (talk) 17:53, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Since when are USER pages allowed to be used as articles, especially by corporate accounts? 69.181.253.230 (talk) 17:57, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

They're allowed to be used as draft articles, I will report the username to UAA. Dark Sun (talk) 18:01, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Also, please remember to notify the user about the deletion. --Jprg1966  22:12, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

If you create an account, you can add a tool called Twinkle that automates a lot of the tagging and notification. Dlohcierekim 22:55, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

Breaking 3RR on Michael H. Prosser

Your recent editing history at Michael H. Prosser shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:56, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• I dispute that. Many of my reversions were to remove copyright violations. Unless WP has changed policy lately, reverting copyvios don't count as 3RR violations. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 21:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

HD_(rapper) CSD nomination

Hey 68.181!

Just wanted to let you know that I declined the CSD you added to HD_(rapper), I debated it for a bit and I think your tag was legitimate but that there was enough of a contest from the user (who obviously has a COI) and claims of notability that I thought it would be best to go through the normal AfD process just in case someone else can find sources which I couldn't and so that we have a more solid deletion decision if the article is recreated later. You can find the AfD I started Here. Thanks for all of your help patrolling! James of UR (talk) 03:21, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. If I recall correctly, I checked the logs and it had already been deleted once. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 06:22, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Some pages are deleted several times before an iteration appears that at least surpasses CSD. Dlohcierekim 15:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Érico Júnior Wouters. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to Selfie, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Érico Wouters 20:13, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I disagree. The version that existed prior to recent self-promotional edits, the one to which I reverted, was much better in several ways. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 20:15, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

@Érico Júnior Wouters:-- looks like you restored vandalism. All fixed now. Dlohcierekim 20:26, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

@Dlohcierekim: Hey, Dlohcierekim. I am sorry about that. Thanks for correcting. Érico Wouters 20:34, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Been there, done that, and I intensely dislike Twinkle. It creates far too many false warnings. But thanks for the invite. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 20:33, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean, false warnings? All the warnings are inputted by the user. It's just a log of templates, basically. --Jprg1966  20:44, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, guy! I can't understand what you're saying. Where's the: CLICK HERE TO CONTEST THIS SPEEDY DELETION that you were saying? Anyway, could you explain why you should add the Deletion log on the Thrill Drive page? Please let you have a feedback for you and don't ramming around, just sit back and easily explain if you have to... Thank you and GOD BLESS! --Tambok0599 (talk) 03:57, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

I'm simply replacing the AFD notice you keep removing. You need to stop or you will be reported and blocked. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 03:59, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Signing up for Misplaced Pages...

Hey 69.181, I noticed that you have a lot of constructive contribs. Wouldn't it be easier to log in or sign up for Misplaced Pages? Not only would you be able to have a user page, but you can also edit semi-protected pages and move some page titles once you're autoconfirmed (which, at your rate, will happen in no time). Also, other editors will trust you more. Epicgenius (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I have redirected this article to James Watt. I am not expert on Bosnian or Serbian language but my little knowledge about those languages makes me believe that this article was about James Watt. Please give it a look. Regards. Hitro talk 18:28, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

The birth and death dates are the same, so yeah, I'd say you made the right call. 69.181.253.230 (talk) 18:31, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Yay!!! :) Hitro talk 18:34, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

Probably should be deleted, as it is an implausible redirect. Epicgenius (talk) 22:22, 23 December 2013 (UTC)

"Talk:Hancock Air Whistle"

Am a newbie. Did an edit addition to "Hancock Air Whistle". Received msg needs reference.

The information I added was from two sources: 1) My first hand experience having worked on the railroad. 2). A blog I found corroborating my understanding of the Manny, Maxwell & Moore Company

How do you document first hand experience?

To reference a blog, do you paste the link?

How do I locate my edit?
