Speedy Deletion of an NGO articleHello Creffet. Some people we think interesting to create an article of an NGO (as there are many other ones here), because the project is really beautifull and this serves to enlarge the knowledge of it (public knowledge is the aim of wikipedia). What do you think interesting to mark this article Draft:The Bodhi Tree Educational Foundation, still in draft, as Speedy Deletion? Draft version means that many people is still worknig on it.

New Page Review newsletter November 2019![]() Hello GeneralNotability/Archives/2019, This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
There are now 840 holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action.
Admin Barkeep49 has been officially invested as NPP/NPR coordinator by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: This official Wikipedia article will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See The Hallmarks to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. New Reviewer mentorship will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional peer review cohort for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch November 13.
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
There is to be no wish list for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

When I first created this article, some copyright violations were suspected. However, it turns out that the suspicions were erroneous. I forget the exact details. But, it was something like this. I created the article "Clutter family murders". Some of the material for the new Clutter family murders article was taken directly from the article In Cold Blood. Someone suspected that the material was a copyright violation. (They stated that the material for Clutter family murders and for In Cold Blood was copied from some other website. Some other editor looked into it further. They said that it was "reverse copyright". They said that the website in question -- I forget the actual website name -- actually had copied the material from Wikipedia. I would like someone to please remove the "speedy deletion request". I am placing a "help request" tag on the Talk Page for Clutter family murders. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 06:01, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
Article recreatedHello, the headline says all. I recreated the article and I want to know what is wrong with the article. How can I show you the article? Jicco123 (talk) 20:06, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Sorry, ViperSnake151 reported me and he said "Their edits to Mixer have been very questionable" Now I want to show my article. And I want to know what's wrong with the article. Jicco123 (talk) 20:22, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
External links removedDear Creffet, I added a few external links which contained great in-depth interviews of biographical character to different persons. I am sure these interviews would be of great value. However, they got removed due to "inappropriate links" by you. However, under external links it says that "External links in biographies of living persons must be of high quality and are judged by a higher standard than for other article". Would it be better if I chose to use these as references in the Wikipedia article of the persons rather than adding it as a external links? Hope this is the right place to write this.

Scripts++ Newsletter – Issue 10News and updates associated with user scripts from the past month (October 2019). Hello everyone and welcome to the 10th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter:
Hi there, I've declined your A7 of Gregory S. Brown. As someone employed in an academic role by a major university that is, in my thinking, a credible claim of significance. Feel free to ping me or leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:59, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
![]() A tag has been placed on Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Renamed user374765hdkfhudj requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. 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.

Minicom pageHi ! -> one or more external links you added to Minicom have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia : That's why I did not add the information directly to minicom page but rather to my personal Wiki. but this information is hard to find on the internet, when people do not say that it's not possible to have user level configuration or to run as normal user, so I added it here as external link (there's no official website for this too) And from my point of view, it is as relevant as the other links like "11.7 Using minicom and seyon" or "Pitux Minicom Floppy" Also, I do not understand why you removed my comment about the outdated man page ? And why did you add a broken link in place of mine ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathael (talk • contribs) 19:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
Woo ... First, I did not use the fact that the link is broken as an excuse to add mine. I found a broken link and removed it. You'll notice that I made three different edits, not a single edit. I was working on my wiki and found this broken link while looking for information on the subject while writting my own page. Then, for the information about outdated information on one link, I thought that the goal was to keep wikipedia accurate. I'll try to get the up-to-date minicom page pushed to a site dedicated to maintaining man pages like http://man7.org/ or The Linux man-pages project (https://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/) and update the link once it's done. And last, as for the link to my own page, OK, I don't know if anyone else will bother to spend time refering to this information, let Google do the job of making it accessible to others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathael (talk • contribs) 11:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC) I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on User:Mirishehu/sandbox/Hooray Health & Protection. I do not think that User:Mirishehu/sandbox/Hooray Health & Protection fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because As a plausible draft, this is specifically exempt from WP:CSD#U5. I request that you consider not re-tagging User:Mirishehu/sandbox/Hooray Health & Protection for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 04:47, 15 November 2019 (UTC) Deva Holding A.S.Just a friendly heads up on Deva Holding A.S.. I declined your speedy deletion request because there are plenty of claims of importance, which is a lower standard than notability. If the page needs to go, try PROD or AfD.----Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:59, 16 November 2019 (UTC) Thanks for your edit to Johns Creek, Georgia. I'm not getting much discussion from other editors at Talk:Johns Creek, Georgia#Government section. If you are able to comment I'd appreciate it. Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2019 (UTC) No editing was performed by meI'm just replying to a message I found saying information had been deleted by me, which is not correct. I've never deleted anything from Wikipedia. I don't expect I could have done editing unintentionally, so it must be an error, I did not delete any information about Jack Mingo. Thank-you for your consideration. Sincerely, S.B. Ringgold — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.158.213.153 (talk) 05:11, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for the speedy deletionHi Creffett, Honestly I'm an unexperienced new comer here so it will be hard for me to get the point of those rules. I apologize for my fault to bring you unnecessary addtional check and operation, but I wonder whether there to be a safer place to save my articles for future referece or improvement on this website with no regard to so-called Unambiguous advertising or promotion? I didn't expect the articles in my sandbox can easily be deleted with no notification. I mean user sandbox should be personal data, right? I do not refuse the open for admins, but I think users should have more liberty to decide what the content in their sandbox be like. Wish you can understand it's not a easy work for me to retype the article after deletion, leaving me no materials left, twice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adachi Sakura (talk • contribs) 14:42, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for November 18An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Frank Quitely, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page JLA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). (Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 08:19, 18 November 2019 (UTC) LOCALiQ entryHi Creffett, I added a disclosure to my userpage as recommended. I'm an independent contractor, not anyone's employee, so feel free to lmk if I got the formatting wrong. Also, when I submitted the article I thought I disclosed my relationship in the talk page. I've never contributed for me so apologies if I missed a step or got anything wrong. I think that the point of view of the article itself is neutral, but will be happy to correct any problem areas in this respect. I also think the organization is of sufficient notability to warrant a page (mainly because it is a division of Gannett). If we need to more forward with another approach, etc., please lmk. I look forward to hearing from you! --Jgranden (talk) 16:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Mount Vernon (Company)Hello there Creffett! I recently constructed an article titled "Mount Vernon (Company)" that was tagged for speedy deletion & then shortly after deleted. I would first like to request that my draft page please be recovered so I can edit it further for review and appeal. I also saw the reasoning for this decision tagged as a violation of Wikipedia rules against Advertising & Self Promotion. I want to make sure that I am appropriately adhering to the guidelines for proper, unbiased reporting on articles. So far I've tried to keep the article as unbiased & objective as possible; give readers an accurate, sourced depiction of the facts regarding company operations, notable achievements in the professional field by our members and company history. Mount Vernon Co is an officially registered LLC based out of Los Angeles that operates in the music industry & like-minded business ventures; and currently has RIAA 5x platinum certified artists/producers running under the label arm as well as strong connections and documented working history with various Record Labels (Atlantic, RocNation, Interscope, Warner Chappell, Republic), Music Publishing Companys & known Public Entities (Artists, Musicians, Designers, ETC). We would like another chance to objectively establish ourselves in the public domain clearly for more people to be properly educated and aware of who we are and what we do. Also as far as having proper direct articles from third party sources. Mount Vernon Co itself is still fairly new in its formation (EST 2017) but the members who comprise the company all have distinguished accolades with legitimate sources to back the information provided. I look forward to hearing back from you, and thank you for your time! Maineywhiles (talk) 08:09, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
Counter-VandalismHi Creffet, So firstly, thank you for giving me another chance and supporting my unblock appeal! I read your comment with regards to "interest in counter-vandalism" and was wondering what I can do to help out with this, I remember participating in something known as "CUVA" but seeing as it's been a while I'm not sure if new information cropped up since then. I also found this tool on my account that helps in rolling back vandal actions labelled as "TW" which I think helped massively back then. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!Hello, Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia. I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in! From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community. If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org. Thank you! --User:Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:58, 23 November 2019 (UTC) Your BRFAHello, your recent BRFA (Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Creffbot) has been approved for a trial. — xaosflux Talk 15:22, 25 November 2019 (UTC)

The reason cited was A7 regarding no indication of importance. However, the reason why I was providing information on NARU Academy is because of their activism regarding female and overall equality in sports, which was stated in the description I gave about the company. To elaborate on one of the camps provided on the page, the FC Barcelona Girl's Camp was the first female soccer camp offered by the FC Barcelona club team and was very influential for my daughter and her club team. Please, explain how I did not explain the importance of this company and its historical significance to Wikipedia. In addition, if you still feel that the content should not be on Wikipedia as is, I am interested in hearing your suggestions and amending the page. Thank you. return 0;
