Attribution language

I’m “100% certain” that you’re correct about the need for attribution. We can’t say “Swartz hanged himself”; nor can we say “Swartz reportedly hanged himself”. The language we’re discussing does meet the guideline: “A spokeswoman for New York’s Medical Examiner reported he had hanged himself.”

I’d now like to draw your attention to the Arrest and state charges section. See Talk. And do reread WP:ER (more than once) before editing. --Dervorguilla (talk) 23:59, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

my Former User Name

I had the User:Mr.grantevans2 user name but have not edited in a long time and have forgotten my password for that user name. May122013 (talk) 02:27, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Edit first, ask questions later

Go ahead and add the material. If it isn’t removed, you can add more.

You can also remove material. If it’s restored, discuss at Talk. --Dervorguilla (talk) 05:03, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

thanks, I never really understood this process before. May122013 (talk) 12:13, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Edit warring at Rob Ford

Your actions there seem single-mindedly to undo what appears to be a consensus at the talk page. You have already filed multiple actions and the consensus seems be against your perspective here. Please note if you continue to try to war against consensus by reverting, WP:BLPBAN, a block or other sanction may be the result. This is a final warning.

ok, thanks for the warning. May122013 (talk) 11:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

WP:BLPN

Your comments at WP:BLPN are, even if you don't feel they are, accusations of sockpuppetry. I suggest you either submit a WP:SPI or retract your comments. Regards, GiantSnowman 16:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

I responded on GiantSnowman's talk page May122013 (talk) 21:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

• I wholeheartedly agree with GiantSnowman here. Leaving the comments without SPI or striking is unacceptable. Dennis Brown / 2¢ / © / @ 16:21, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. — The Potato Hose 16:39, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

I responded at ANI May122013 (talk) 21:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

For retracting your baseless accusation. That shows character. — The Potato Hose 04:02, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Agreed, many thanks. GiantSnowman 08:40, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bilderberg Group Meeting 2013

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 Bilderberg Group Meeting 2013, requesting that it be deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "Click here to 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Cindy(talk) 03:23, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
