National varieties of English[edit]

As a new user, you may not be aware of wikipedia's policies in relation to national varieties of English, in particular An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the (formal, not colloquial) English of that nation. and When an English variety's consistent usage has been established in an article, maintain it in the absence of consensus to the contrary. With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another.

The article Law enforcement in Australia clearly has strong ties to Australia & has consistently used Australian English, such as authorised, defence and offence. Please do not alter articles to adopt US spelling such as authorized, defense and offense. --Find bruce (talk) 00:25, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

March 2020[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Neville Maxwell, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 02:17, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overlinking[edit]

Please review WP:OVERLINK regarding mundane/common page links. Giant Snowman 08:07, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Red links[edit]

Please do not remove red links when they refer to notable subjects as per WP:REDYES. With regards to the 1929 European Rowing Championships, the links that you removed are certainly of notable subjects. Both have articles in the Polish Wikipedia, and the suburb also has an entry in the German Wikipedia. Schwede 66 23:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Yaacov Heller[edit]

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 Yaacov Heller, 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.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that John Jiller, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It appears to be a test page. (See section G2 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
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 "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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
