Phoenix Models

Is the subject notable?Xx236 (talk) 07:24, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Phoenix Models

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 Phoenix Models 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it 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 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.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:11, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Signpost exit poll

Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

  If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

  All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire

Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

quick and easy exit poll , estimated time required: 4 minutes

Q#0. Will you be responding to the questions in this exit poll? Why or why not? Your Answer: Your Comments: Q#1. Arbs must have at least 0k / 2k / 4k / 8k / 16k / 32k+ edits to Wikipedia.

how to submit your answers , estimated time required: 2 minutes

If you wish to answer via usertalk, go ahead and fill in the blanks by editing this subsection. Once you have completed the usertalk-based exit poll answers, , leave a short usertalk note, and click save. The point of leaving the usertalk note, is to make sure your answers are processed and published. If you wish to answer via email, create a new email to the Signpost column-editor by clicking Special:EmailUser/GamerPro64, and then paste the *plaintext* of the questions therein. Once you have completed the email-based exit poll answers, , leave a short usertalk note specifying the *time* you sent the email, and click save. The point of leaving the usertalk note, is to make sure your answers are processed and published (not stuck in the spam-folder). Processing of responses will be performed in batches of ten, prior to publication in the Signpost. GamerPro64 will be processing the email-based answers, and will strive to maintain the privacy of your answers (as well as your email address and the associated IP address typically found in the email-headers), though of course as a volunteer effort, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will have a system free from computer virii, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will resist hypothetical bribes offered by the KGB/NSA/MI6 to reveal your secrets, and we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will make no mistakes. If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians. If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so. Sorry!  :-)

We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from United States invasion of Afghanistan into War in Afghanistan (2001–14). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. --Diannaa (talk) 14:37, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Gavin Jennings (broadcaster). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Gavin Jennings. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Gavin Jennings – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Wgolf (talk) 01:17, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

March 2017 Paris attacks/March 2017 Grasse shooting

Hello. I noticed you created March 2017 Paris attacks, and I was wondering if you wanted to create March 2017 Grasse shooting about this? Or, should we rename the article you created to add the Grasse event too?Zigzig20s (talk) 19:18, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Ways to improve Bronx Lebanon Hospital attack

Hi, I'm Chris troutman. Lottolads, thanks for creating Bronx Lebanon Hospital attack!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. I think this article violates WP:NOTNEWS.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Blanking and copy/Paste moves

Hello. You are not a newbie editor, so I am slightly loathe to make such obvious observations, but in:

• this edit you completely blanked a section which was otherwise supported by reliable and verifiable references. You provided absolutely no explanation for this blanking. Please do not remove content from pages without giving a valid reason for the removal in an edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to have been constructive. And I have reverted it. If you have a reason for proposing the blanking, of cited content, then please raise it on the relevant talk page.
• this edit you completely blanked an entire article. As above, you provided no explanation for this blanking. Either in an edit summary or otherwise. If the rationale for this action was to move the content to a different title (by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name), then this is against policy. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. If you have a reason for proposing a page move, then please raise it on the relevant talk pages.

Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 10:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:GardaERU.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:GardaERU.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Apparent copyvio of a press image. Image was previously published by at least one newspaper here. In support of at least one copyrighted news story like the one published here. No indication that the uploader is the photographer, author, employee of the news outlet, or otherwise the holder of the image rights.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

March 2019

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at County Londonderry. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Declangi (talk) 19:42, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2019 Utrecht shooting, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 14:01, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on 2019 Utrecht shooting. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 14:10, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at 2019 Utrecht shooting. Stop adding a name to article (as per WP:BLPCRIME), and stop adding badly sourced information about a court case. This is your last warning. Your edits are not constructive. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 14:22, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

2019 Utrecht shooting

Hello. I've noticed you have been repeatedly adding the name of the alleged perpetrator to the page 2019 Utrecht shooting. Please note that editors should not add names per WP:BLPCRIME. Thank you. Shuipzv3 (talk) 14:24, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

Ireland as a middle power

Hello. I reverted your addition of Ireland to middle power as you did not include a source. Whilst Ireland may belong on the list, all the other countries there have at least one reference.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2015–19 Irish gangland feud until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. BigDwiki (talk) 19:56, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Lottolads, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Please remember to login

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:44, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Vandalism

I think it unlikely that you don't know that the population of Limerick is arguable since a significant part of urban area is in County Clare and so not counted. So it won't be enough to find a quote in the Limerick Leader that claims fourth position, it needs supporting evidence from official national statistics.

I ask that I be unblocked. I was simply expressing my political opinions which I feel strongly about. I am not a hijacked account. I will refrain from this manner in the future.--Lottolads (talk) 18:09, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@Lottolads: How do you explain what you did to the Paul Girvan page (and my userpage for that matter)? Surely you know that those sort of edits are untrue and not acceptable for expressing of an opinion. If you want to do that, you use the talk pages to constructively argue that, but turning a Unionist politician into a nationalist isn't appropriate. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:03, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Look I just did it for the craic, I changed your page and Paul Girvan’s page to make it look like you were nationalists, it won’t happen again.--Lottolads (talk) 15:56, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

I didn't find it funny and I'm afraid that attitude is not going to endear yourself to getting unblocked. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:43, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

I request I be I unblocked with immediate effect. My vandalism edits will not happen again.--Lottolads (talk) 23:39, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Unblock appeal

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I request I be unblocked with immediate effect. The vandalism that I committed on the account will not be repeated, of that you can be assured. I want to be unblocked so I can continue making positive contributions to Wikipedia. Lottolads (talk) 00:14, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You've demonstrated conclusively that you haven't the slightest intention of following Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and not the slightest intention of editing appropriately. Your best best, though this would be a very slim chance given your history of abuse, would be to go six months with zero edits, then apply under WP:SO. At that point, you'll need to address your history of vandalism and of block evasion. You'll need to demonstrate you have substantially matured since this unblock request. Yamla (talk) 11:59, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Unblock discussion

That's all well and good, but you've hopelessly complicated matters. This is now a WP:checkuser block. Please read the pertinent section of the WP:GAB. I will ask @NinjaRobotPirate:. -- Deepfriedokra 06:12, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

The logged-out vandalism was in the same style as the logged-in vandalism, but it's been going on longer. I would recommend the standard offer as a way to come back. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:08, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Article creation request

I request that the following article be created:

Murder of Keane Mulready-Woods

This is a topic that is a top story in the Irish news at the moment and I believe there should be a page on it as with Murder of Ana Kriégel and Shooting of David Byrne, both of which are equally as notable. I am surprised a page on this hasn’t been created and had I not been blocked I would’ve created it myself.--Lottolads (talk) 16:22, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

No. This is inappropriate, asking people to help you evade your block. --Yamla (talk) 19:12, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

No, it should be created a sit is a notable subject.--Lottolads (talk) 19:59, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
