Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Member states of the Venice Commission. 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 – Venice Commission. 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 Venice Commission – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. 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. Vacation9 (talk) 00:19, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Flag of the United Nations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Light blue (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sollentuna Parish until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
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 template from the top of the article. The Bannertalk00:59, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Canvassing
Latest comment: 11 years ago9 comments3 people in discussion
Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on biased users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. See the talk page for the AfD over Sollentuna Parish for more information. Canvassing is not allowed here and will result in blocking if continued.gwickwire | Leave a message01:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
Do not make things smaller on your talk page just to try to avoid people seeing them. Also, the diffs are posted at the AfD for the Sollentuna Parish. By the way, even if you remove the canvassing, it is still permanently linked in the diff links. gwickwire | Leave a message01:21, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
I didn't. But maybe you have the courtesy to tell me where "leaving messages on biased users' talk pages" did occur? ChemTerm (talk) 01:28, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
For an admin hopeful, you sure don't seem to understand canvassing very well gwick. But you need not respond here. This is not the appropriate venue for discussions of other user conduct. ChemTerm, please provide diffs at ANI to support your claim or, if you wish you can strike out the claim as unfounded after consideration.--Amadscientist (talk) 01:54, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Fine with me. Maybe you can have a look why Swedish parish articles should be deleted, whilst for other countries the articles exist for years. ChemTerm (talk) 01:29, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Sollentuna Köping requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dengero (talk) 07:03, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, thanks. But as I have pointed out elsewhere, I'm not keen on retaining articles on församlingar. Hundreds and socknar I think are fine, but I'm just not convinced that tiny ecclesiastical units carry any notability as far as Wikipedia is concerned.

Hi, the discussion over [the] Ivory Coast is balanced 3-all, not heading towards any consensus; and ending up with no consensus would be the worst result. I found something that points the other way, so rather than have no consensus I'm thinking of switching sides... what would you do? – FayenaticLondon09:39, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for that link. My "something" was the overall balance on Google books; but the Ngram tells a story which leans the other way anyway. – FayenaticLondon09:02, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

AFAIK, disambiguation pages should normally serve both upper and lower case occurrences; there's no need for a separate one for the acronyms. – FayenaticLondon19:31, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
I was thinking of some of the examples at MOS:DABINT, but it's not a specific prohibition. There is also WP:2DAB and WP:TWODABS. As long as there are only two articles that could be intended by ROTA, then it's better just to have one combined dab page for upper and lower case. – FayenaticLondon14:50, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Just offering my advice from experience. If you've read those three sections and you still think it's justified, I won't revert you if you reinstate it; but it's likely that somebody else will merge it back on grounds such as these. I'd only bother splitting a disambiguation page, or setting up a sub-section as a separate page, if it it was more strongly justified on size. – FayenaticLondon21:36, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, ChemTerm. You have new messages at WP:CFDS. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
You are not allowed to jump the gun by immediately creating new categories that you first proposed for renaming just yesterday. You must let the WP:CFD discussion run its proper course of seven days to establish consensus for your proposed changes — until those seven days are up, even if it's wrong you have to let it stand while the discussion is still open, because that is how Wikipedia's consensus process works. And if the final consensus goes against you, further, then you have to accept that and cannot just arbitrarily go ahead and do it anyway.
Secondly, there is not, and never has been, any consensus on Wikipedia to somehow divide "Argentine media" and "Media of Argentina" into separate things — there is no article on Wikipedia that could ever belong in one category but not in the other. You're well within your right to propose that the existing category be renamed from one format to the other — but they are not two distinct things that require two separate categories, but one thing about which there's a legitimate reason to suggest that maybe its name should be changed. But you're still not entitled to impose that change while the CFD discussion about it is still underway.
Again, I'm not opposed to your reasoning in principle — but you need to follow Wikipedia's proper processes for actually getting this stuff done. Bearcat (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I just want to re-state what Bearcat has said above. I'm coming from the outside seeing these discussions and the way you are behaving, and I am a bit concerned. Just be patient and let the system play itself out. There is no rush. Don't make changes that haven't been OK'd by consensus yet (ie, when the underlying issue is still being discussed at CFD).

Speedy deletion nomination of Republic (country subdivision)
Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello ChemTerm,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Republic (country subdivision) for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, [[:{{{article}}}]].
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
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.
