User talk:Nix D
A tag has been placed on People from scarborough north yorkshire, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm assuming you're making edits in good faith, but please read WP:Categorization before you edit the category again. This is not the way that we do categorisation. The category is added to the article to be categorised, not vice versa. -- Necrothesp 16:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed that you are adding people to the article and quoting the reference in the edit summary. It would be better if the reference was inserted into the article using the <ref> </ref> tags together with one of the {{cite}} templates.
Keith D 20:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, can I repeat this message as you appear still to be adding entries to the article without putting the reference information in the text. This just gives work for others who have to add the information at a later date. As you have the detail to hand it is easier to put the detail in when adding the enrty. Many thanks.

Using the 'minor' tag on edits
[edit]I suspect you may have fallen foul of a common misunderstanding. The M tag is only for trivial edits such as spelling or punctuation corrections. If you add anything to an article (like you did to Relocation of professional sports teams), it doesn't get the M tag - the length of the edit is irrelevant. Even if it is only one letter (changing 'now' to 'not' for example). Just thought you might like to know. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 23:19, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit]I'm just following Wikipedia policies i'm afraid. The policy states that 'alumni' or 'notable people' listed for an institution should have a Wikipedia article. I appreciate this may mean that from time to time a notable person is missed out, but if we start listing people without their own articles then I fear many people of dubious notability may be added to pages like these.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
