Speedy deletion nomination of NOTSINK

edit
 

A tag has been placed on NOTSINK requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer.

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 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. PKT(alk) 00:48, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

The "correct" spelling in this case would be "NOTSNIK", rather than NOTSINK. PKT(alk) 00:49, 13 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Better source request for File:Explorer5.jpg

edit

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:04, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

National Capital Wing Civil Air Patrol

edit

Hello. I wanted to let you know why I removed the links to future squadron pages in the National Capital Wing page. Due to Wikipedia's policy on notability, it is likely that any articles published on such a small, local chapter of an organization like the Civil Air Patrol would be deleted. Recently, a page for the New York City Group got deleted for being too specific for a general encyclopedia like Wikipedia (and if my understanding of the Civil Air Patrol is right, a group contains multiple squadrons), so I'm afraid pages for even more localized organizational levels would also be deleted. There was even a debate as to whether each state should be allowed to have their own page.

If you want to publish articles about individual squadrons (which I think is a noble goal), a better place to do it might be through the Civil Air Patrol wiki available through Wikia. I've glanced at it and it looks like that's exactly the kind of help they could use. If you have any questions, please let me know. Et0048 (talk) 21:13, 7 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about Explorer 27

edit

Hello, Jspace727,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Explorer 27 should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Explorer 27 .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Unspecified source/license for File:Caproni Ca. 120 02.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Caproni Ca. 120 02.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 18:01, 17 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Pneumatic tube

edit

Why have you removed half a paragraph in this article. Your edit summary says "slightly reworked" which makes it sound like an accidental deletion, especially as you removed the paragraph citation as well. Having said that, the text you removed was not very understandable and the source does not seem to cover it. So perhaps all that needs doing is that the citation is reinstated.

SNCF Class Z 600 moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, SNCF Class Z 600, is not suitable 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.

  Hello, Jspace727. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:SNCF Class Z 600, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Hello, Jspace727. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "SNCF Class Z 600".
