re: "Brian Martin (Social Scientist)"

Hi. If people agreed that social scientists were not excluded, then that would mean this entry is not automatically excluded, and that much would be fine. I just found that there is indeed a WP article for him, which had not been linked by the person who included the new species name, so had missed it. His claim to fame seems somewhat dubious, but if people are okay with such figures, then go ahead and re-add the reference, with an appropriate link. Dyanega (talk) 18:16, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question for you

Hi Research17. I just reviewed the history of this page, and realized that no one has asked you if you have any relationship with Brian Martin - the edit count tool shows that this article has been your main area of focus in Wikipedia.

If you have some real world relationship with him, that would constitute a COI in Wikipedia per the WP:COI guideline. Would you please disclose if you have some relationship with him? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 19:49, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

? Let me say it differently -- would you please clarify whether or not you have some RW relationship with him? Jytdog (talk) 19:52, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I have looked at WP;COI and I can confirm that I have no personal, academic, professional, business or legal relationship with BM. I should say I am interested in some of the issues which BM raises, although I don't think this constitutes a COI, especially as the contested nature of this article is an indication that many others are also interested in these issues. Just for the record, I am not an anti-vaxxer, and I am little uneasy with BM's philosophy of science, although I probably need to think more on this. You're correct, I have spent some time on this article, and the reason is that I think this represents a particular challenge for Wikipedia, in terms of constructing a bio of someone who clearly has some vocal critics. This is why I am working hard to establish consensus. As I have indicated in the talk pages, I like to think that we are slowly making some progress here. Thanks for the query. Research17 (talk) 19:54, 16 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Thanks for replying. Jytdog (talk) 00:01, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just a brief extension of the above comments, to confirm that I also have no personal, professional, business or legal relationship with Judith Wilyman. BTW, I think that an edit count alone may be at times be misleading. Because the BM wikipedia page is so deeply controversial and so contested, I've found myself making multiple postings on the Talk Page, in an attempt if not to reach consensus, then at least to open up dialogue. I've been involved in creating or editing numerous other WP pages, which have been much more straightfoward. Not sure if this shows up on the edit-count.

Hal Porter Short Story Prize moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Hal Porter Short Story Prize, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Disambiguation link notification for January 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jake Lynch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BDS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:01, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Respectfully disagree that there was a copyright violation, but, hey, I think the Frank Warrick article will probably be added to and expanded upon in any case in the next day or so, as this is in the news due to his recent death.

Speedy deletion nomination of Australian Council for Human Rights Education

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 Australian Council for Human Rights Education, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Stair locomotion moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Stair locomotion. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because it needs more sources to establish notability and this reads like the abstract to the only research it sources. There's nothing showing any sort of actual notability to this topic. Fails WP:N and WP:NOT; Wikipedia is not a textbook, scientific journal, or mirror of either. Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. WhoAteMyButter (🌴_talk│☀️^contribs) 08:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your contributions to Write around the Murray. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Hi GrapUp. Thanks for that, and yes, you're entirely correct, there is a need for Reliable Sources for this article. Oversight on my part. Just a query: what would you suggest as a reasonable (minimum) number of Reliable Sources for a smallish article like this? Research17 (talk) 08:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

September 2024

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Albury City Short Story Competition 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. 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. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
