AfD nomination of Hollow House Syndrome

I have nominated Hollow House Syndrome, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hollow House Syndrome. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:53, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Request for Assistance

You asked someone to make a test.[1] I made it and posted the result so there is no need for an edit summary like [2]. In addition I said that one of the addresses where it worked is at hotmail.com. Anybody can make a free webmail account there so it seemed potentially helpful to me. See also Comparison of webmail providers. Please don't remove posts from others outside your own user space without good reason. See Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Sections often get replies from different editors. A reply doesn't stop others. Placing {{Resolved}} may stop further posts (but doesn't always). Most Wikipedia users rarely or never use the email features so it's not a big deal if you don't have it, but if you really want it and cannot get your existing email accounts to receive the mail (which is very likely sent) then consider making a new free webmail account for the purpose. Your mail service may have spam settings you don't know about. wikimedia.org sends a lot of similar mails and may be marked as a spammer in some places.

Creation of duplicate article

Please don't create duplicate copies of articles, as you did at Thomas Forrest, Gentleman, as doing so creates various problems, including difficulty in ensuring that corrections and other edits are coordinated among different copies. If you think that the title of an article is inappropriate, the correct thing to do is to move the existing article to a new title, not create a duplicate of the article. However, in a case such as this one where, as you know, the article has already more than once had its title changed, it is clear that no renaming is likely to be uncontroversial, and you should not try to make the change by any method without first getting consensus for the change.

Questions How does one seek consensus? As a historian, I would like to know how one deals with edits that appear to be based on a political bias in violation of Wikipedia policies. I know history, but not how Wikipedia procedures work. Can you enlighten me? ClassicalScholar 02:56, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Prof John Bremer.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Prof John Bremer.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:25, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Trump Fallacy

The article Trump Fallacy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NEOLOGISM This is nothing more than the headline of one writer's opinion piece, not an established term with a widely understood meaning. (In other words, if I were to refer to "the Trump fallacy", the likely question would be "Which Trump fallacy?") This article also isn't an accurate statement of what the NY times piece conveys.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia 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.
