Hi. You may be interested in participating in the ''']''' which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --] (]) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent copyright infringements. You have received a very large number of warnings about this, on the talk pages of two accounts, over a period of seven years, but you have ignored the warnings, your only response to them being to remove them from your talk pages, and continue infringing copyright. Several times you have been warned that continuing in the same way would be likely to lead to being blocked, and you should have been blocked years ago. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. In place of "Your reason here", give your reason why you think you should be unblocked. That reason should be such as to persuade the administrator who reviews your unblock request that you understand the reason for the block, and will not continue to infringe copyright.  The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:05, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Detweiller Park course

The article Detweiller Park course has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Created by a banned copyright violator. Uses cut-and-paste phrases from at least 2, possibly 3, websites that has the text earlier than Misplaced Pages. Also, questionable notability (see Talk:Detweiller Park course).

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
