September 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page DIII-D (fusion reactor) has been reverted.
Your edit here to DIII-D (fusion reactor) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://generalatomics.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/diiiman-e1366822463911.jpg) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Hosea Stout copyright problem[edit]

Some of the material you included in the above article was copied from here, a copyright web page. Copying text directly from a source is a copyright violation. Unfortunately, for copyright reasons, the content had to be removed. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you think I made a mistake. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A meeting was held on a certain date and I have made reference to the source. Why is this a copyright issue? SWP13 (talk)

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was unaware you had a question. Your addition was flagged by a bot as a potential copyright issue and was assessed by myself. Here is a link to the bot report.

famousbirthdays.com is not a reliable source[edit]

Hi SWP13 . I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 23:18, 11 January 2017 (UTC) [2][3][reply]

It's fine. Is there a list of unreliable source for birthdays besides imdb.com and famousbirthdays.com? SWP13 (talk) 02:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I wish there were such a list. WP:ELPEREN gives some information about commonly used links, and includes imdb. A search of WP:RSN will at least allow you to check for common consensus about individual links. --Ronz (talk) 16:44, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reporting Vandalism[edit]

Hi, I noticed from a message that you left on someone's user page that you were unaware of how to report persistent vandals to administrators. WP:AIV is the place for vandalism reporting. Might I suggest using WP:TWINKLE? To enable it, you need to go to Preferences -> Gadgets -> tick Twinkle: automate common tasks such as reporting vandalism.. Let me know if you have any questions!

Infobox request for Hiya (caller profile company)[edit]

Hi, I see you have created a number of infoboxes. I wonder if you might be willing to create a basic one for the company I work for, Hiya. I think Template:Infobox company is the best template; if you'd like suggestions on what items to put in I'd be happy to make some. One thing I'd especially like to see is our logo. There is a version here, or I could send you a higher resolution version. Would you mind making the infobox? Also, if you have any feedback on the article, that would be great. I'm going to put in some incoming links to hopefully get the "orphan" tag removed, and add a category or two. -Lizhpowell (talk) 20:05, 7 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I can create an infobox. If you post an image of the company or logo to wiki common, let me know. Be aware of image copyright legals. SWP13 (talk) 02:27, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Silva[edit]

Whoa! Thanks for all that amazing cleanup. I've been trying to keep some of those in alignment but don't really know my way around infoboxes so thanks for the cleanup. Any thoughts on standardization of article names w/r/t to Silva novel or not? StarM 04:19, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Response: Simple. I displayed all the novels in order and fix them as needed. Plots are a bit challenging. The novels still require some cleanup. SWP13 (talk) 08:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well done. There's a note from an editor on my talk re: the covers but I'm not familiar enough to take that on. StarM 01:57, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Talk 2018[edit]

March 2018[edit]

Hello. Please don’t add “This is a Chinese name. The family name is <surname>.” to pages titled “<English name> <surname>.” Since readers can tell the surname is a surname, the text doesn’t provide any additional info.

Let’s take a look at Iris Chang. The surname is Chinese, and the first name is American. Her name is Chinese-American, not Chinese. Give Chinese-Americans proper treatment, write abou who they are, not what their names are or how to pronounce them. Don’t treat us with exoticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.122.177.25 (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to WikiProject Portals[edit]

The Portals WikiProject has been rebooted.

You are invited to join, and participate in the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system and all the portals in it.

There are sections on the WikiProject page dedicated to tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too), and areas on the talk page for discussing the improvement and automation of the various features of portals.

Many complaints have been lodged in the RfC to delete all portals, pointing out their various problems. They say that many portals are not maintained, or have fallen out of date, are useless, etc. Many of the !votes indicate that the editors who posted them simply don't believe in the potential of portals anymore.

It's time to change all that. Let's give them reasons to believe in portals, by revitalizing them.

The best response to a deletion nomination is to fix the page that was nominated. The further underway the effort is to improve portals by the time the RfC has run its course, the more of the reasons against portals will no longer apply. RfCs typically run 30 days. There are 19 days left in this one. Let's see how many portals we can update and improve before the RfC is closed, and beyond.

A healthy WikiProject dedicated to supporting and maintaining portals may be the strongest argument of all not to delete.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

Let's do this.

See ya at the WikiProject!

Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:24, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Look af my home page.[edit]

We’re surprisingly similar. I’m currently trying to figure out if I want to tackle an Infobox for Lynch victims (I started List of lynching victims in the United States). I’m not that great a coder. deisenbe (talk) 02:40, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will take a look when I get back to wiki edit soon. Let me if you have good sources on lynching victims. SWP13 (talk) 22:10, 6 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much (Portals rescue)[edit]

The RfC discussion to eliminate portals was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

I'd also like to let you know that the Portals WikiProject is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain. Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the WikiProject's talk page, or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the project's members receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted here, for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely,    — The Transhumanist   10:55, 25 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: if you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you. -TT

Take part in a survey[edit]

Hi SWP13

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Empty section[edit]

Hi SWP13! There is no need to add an "External links" section to articles that don't have one but have the "Authority control" template, such as Lucia Travaini. The AC template simply goes to the bottom of the article, above the categories. Similarly, while inline citations are preferable, referenced added directly to a "References" section are still references, so I've removed the extra heading added to Lollius Bassus. The latter article is just a rewording of his entry in the DGRBM, so it doesn't need "additional citations for verification", and so I've removed the template you added. One last thing: as per MOS:BODY, "Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheading", so in a short biography such as Lucia Travaini or Luo Li Rong, its better to just have one "Biography"/"Life" section instead of breaking it up. I hope these comments are helpful, Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk 21:19, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

John Clarence Webster[edit]

I wrote this article several years ago and somehow it was overlooked until now. So, thank you for assessing it. However, I must protest your assessment. Surely it is much more comprehensive than a stub. Might I suggest a B at worst? Verne Equinox (talk) 02:04, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SWP13: I'm not sure what you mean by the first question--I don't know and haven't been instructed to add a tag to the talk pages for articles I've reviewed. As for the second, I did change her occupation since she is no longer in politics. However, if you want to add it back, I think that would be fine.

Proposed deletion of Seran Kim[edit]

Hello, SWP13,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Onel5969 and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Seran Kim, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion.The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now-visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to prevent the deletion:

  1. Edit the page
  2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. Click Publish Changes button.

But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Onel5969}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Links to DAB pages on your User page[edit]

Hi! I noticed you have three links to DAB pages on your User page. You probably meant to link:

Chow --> Chow (surname)
Lok --> many potentials names with surnames
Dewey --> Dewey (surname)

dawnleelynn(talk) 23:37, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

:>>@Dawnleelynn: Thanks for visiting my User page. A while ago, I attempted to update some Asian/Chinese surnames. I didn't like the fact that incorrect spellings were linked. So, Chan, Chen, Chun , or Chin may have same Chinese characters but they should be distinguished separately. Like Smith is not Smithes. The wiki files may have changed over time. I don't bother with those unless someone needs help. :) SWP13 (talk) 01:21, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure we are communicating on this. First of all, I am not going to change your User page; that is policy. When someone clicks Chow on your User page it takes them to a disambiguation page. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation. A DAB is a page that is usually only linked to when you have an article that is the same name as several articles and then only from inside an article or from a redirect. The user gets a list of choices and picks the one they need. This DAB page for Chow has entries for such things like Chow Chow a dog breed, Mr. Chow a restaurant chain, Chow (unit), an obsolete unit of mass in the pearl trade in Mumbai, and finally way down the list is the one you want, Chow (surname). Rather than having your end user have to search the list for Chow (surname), you can rather link to it directly by using Chow (surname), skipping the disambiguation page altogether. Besides, the end user doesn't even know which entry they are looking for necessarily.
So, I'm simply suggesting a replacement of the dab page wikilinks with a direct link to the item instead. There are even bots around that do this, inform you that you have links to dab pages. Also of note is that you can set an option in your preferences that changes the color of dab links to orange, which is why I even noticed your dab links in the first place. They stood out due to the changed color.
I already gave you the replacement to link to the pages directly for two of them. I didn't do it for Dewey because there was more than one possibility on the dab page. I assure you, this is standard practice when writing in Wikipedia, not just my idea. dawnleelynn(talk) 02:07, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
>>Thanks. Looking at the history, it was the disamb Chow page that I updated. SWP13 (talk) 02:21, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh my goodness, you (and a couple others) did all of that work in the Chow article and then an editor just coldly deleted it from that DAB article. If it was me, I would have talked to you first. It could have possibly been added to the Chow (surname) article, but you would know more about that than me. Which reminds me, I didn't tell you how great was all the work you put into your User page, by the way. Some really helpful information to the right people. Very nice. I guess you probably had the same issue with the other two DAB pages. A real shame, for sure. I'm sure you'll figure out the best resolution for them at some point. Happy Trails! dawnleelynn(talk) 04:17, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
>>@Dawnleelynn: As always, thanks for visiting. I'm doing assessments of WikiProject Women and others now. Started when it had about 7000+, now, it's down around 5000+. Did you know that Warren Buffett's mother (Leila Stahl Buffett) was deleted because some editor said she was not notable; she died a millionaire and gave her $ to her daughter, whom donated to a library. I am also sad that Seran Kim got deleted. I am determined to move up the wiki editor rankings now. Won't be able to go near top 10, but top 1000 will do. Ha!Ha! Cheers!

Thank you for caring about Jessye Norman's article, borrowing her smile --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations![edit]

I saw you also received the Precious award. That's so exciting, congratulations! So much of the attention on Wikipedia seems to be focused on article creation. So I am happy when I see someone receive attention for Wikignoming. I myself do both. Anyway, that's just very fitting as I have seen you've been making a difference for around two years. Gerda is right on!

Content Assessment[edit]

I have previously tried to persuade you to follow policy when assessing WikiProjects in talk pages here and here. The policies are based on Wikipedia:Content assessment. I have been following policy myself. Adherence to policy is mostly accomplished through other editors. You can refer to Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines under "Enforcement. Persuasion is the first step. I have been "persuaded" too, many times. If it were just a few articles I would leave it, but you, yourself, told me you already edited around 2,000 articles with 5,000 more to go. That's a lot of stubs, e.g. An article such as Anna Maestri, should not be classified as a stub. Marjorie Liu is definitely a C-class article, as just a couple examples. Regarding unassessed projects, I urge you to classify them according to the grading table and not arbitrarily lump them into the Start class. Sometimes it is very evident that they belong in a higher class. Perhaps this can help: Wikipedia:Assessing articles.

Regarding policy for stubs, they are so different they have their own policy page, Wikipedia:Stub, "A stub is an article that, although providing some useful information, is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, and that is capable of expansion." "Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they have significant problems or are noticeably incomplete. With these larger articles, a cleanup template is usually added instead of a stub template." Let me know if you need help finding a cleanup template.

Furthermore regarding stub articles: Editors interact with stubs in a number of ways that are different than other articles. So, it is important that a lengthy article is not a stub. And it's not subjective, there's a pretty clear range of the number of words that defines a stub. It runs from 500 to 1,500 words per the Stub policy. Additionally, I find I need to add the stub template to articles on occasion. You might find this useful: Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. And, always match the article stub template to the talk page classes so that both are stub.

>>To answer your several questions.


1. I do not arbitrarily lump the articles as you describe. I do follow the assessment guidelines. If you don't agree with my assessment, please feel free to upgrade the assessment class as needed.
2. Wikipedia:Content assessment does not specify word count for stub, start, C class, or any class. It also does not specify the number of references. The description for each category is a guideline.
3. Anna Maestri existed as stub for WikiProject Biography. The 2 ref included are in Italian and they do not have links for verification. I set WikiProject Women to stub class to match the existing class.
4. Marjorie Liu started with class as blank. It can possibly become a C class. I have not checked the refs, so I will leave it as it for now. If you have reviewed the ref links and wish to upgrade it, please do so.
5. Wikipedia:Assessing articles#Article life cycle is also a good guideline. Article status should progressively improve.
6. I noticed you have been changing many start class to stubs without specific justification. SWP13 (talk) 09:10, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]


1. On Megalibrarygirl's talk page, you said, "Glad you are monitoring some pages. I mostly assess WikiProject with class that is blank. I assess the page as stub or start. Feel free to upgrade to higher level (C, B, GA,..) if you wish" I was only urging you to stop addressing articles as stub unless an article was a stub and go beyond the start class when an article was obviously a higher class aka not lump them into Start class per your own words. Also, your editing history shows assessments of start and stub, never anything higher.
2. You are taking it out of context. I said the Stub policy talked about word limits and it does. The stub policy is not a guideline. It says policy on that page. If you read the Stub policy, you will see the word limits I spoke of. p.s. The individual content assessment tables in each project do not say guidelines. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Assessment.
3. I gave one example out of hundreds that you have edited. I could cite more. I have seen you go against the existing class as well, including in my own article, Mary Walker (rodeo), where you not only went against the existing classes, but downgraded the WikiProject Women class. A different article you classified as stub Micah Fowler was changed by another editor the next day to Start class. Let me also mention Florencia Marotta-Wurgler which was classified as a stub, wherein you also added a comment advising not to change it from the stub class, therein also promoting your made-up criteria for setting classes as stubs.
4. References are not necessarily a reason to hold back an article from class C; references and broken links are your criteria, not the project's. Anyway, it was just an example. The article Caroline Stam that Gerda asked you about was recently changed by an admin to C-class. And there was that article John Clarence Webster by Verne Equinox.
6. The articles I changed to stub class were stub articles. I changed the talk pages classes to match the stub article. This is correct, and you should be doing it as well. Instead, you are adding the stub class to articles that should not have it, and not adding the stub class to articles that should have it. I mentioned that they should match up. I have also added the stub template to articles too. Stub tags should match up between articles and talk pages. I think it was pretty clear. I hope this helps clear things up. I really think that the Stub policy is pretty easy to understand.

Cleanup templates[edit]

There are dozens and dozens of cleanup templates available on Wikipedia at: Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup. I didn't even realize there were this many. Hope this helps. dawnleelynn(talk) 05:02, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

>>If you want, make a list of the articles which you down graded from start to stub. So when I have time, I can bring them back to start or better.SWP13 (talk) 07:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, you can call it downgrading if you must, LOL. I was changing the classifications in the talk page to match the article, which has a stub template. Whoever set the WikiProject classes, set them incorrectly. A lot of these were set before you edited the article. If you see articles with stub templates, it's necessary and safe to change the talk page WikiProjects to stub class too. The only way that editors can find stubs is through the talk page class. And there are lots of editors where that's their thing; they like to expand stubs, even rewrite some of content in the process too. So you are in good company in wanting to expand stubs. We have several stub articles in the Rodeo project where I work. I have expanded some occasionally, but I must admit it's not my favorite thing. I admire anyone who does it regularly. After the article is larger than a stub, you can remove the stub template from the article, and classify it Start or higher in the talk page. And, of course, I will make a list for you of the articles I changed the class to stub. Even the four articles you've written so far show your writing talent off, so I look forward to great contributions which you can list on your User page. dawnleelynn(talk) 17:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no doubt you are right on all counts.

Reiko Nakano[edit]

I'm uncertain that Reiko Nakano passes Wikpiedia's notability requirements. Regarding the article you wrote (you wrote nearly all of it, right?), there are immediate problems, such as sourcing. You cannot use the following as sources: IMDB, Musicbrainz, and YouTube. Please read more of Wikpedia's documentation on notability and finding reliable sources. Thanks.
Vmavanti (talk) 19:24, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SWP13 and Vmavanti. Agree regarding the first two sites. However, there is no blanket ban on YouTube. See WP:YTREF and WP:YOUTUBE. I would have a much smaller article for my article on War Paint if I could not cite two YouTube videos by the owners of the now deceased horse. Additionally the ProRodeo Hall of Fame and the Professional Bull Riders regularly publish videos; and it is easy to check their authenticity. I often use these videos in rodeo articles for people and livestock. Happy Trails! dawnleelynn(talk) 19:40, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree there is no blanket ban against YouTube. But in jazz articles, where I spend nearly all my time, I rarely see it use correctly. That is why I caution against it. Regardless, much of the information in this article is excessive and promotional even if it were sourced correctly. This is a double problem when you consider that the subject of the article may not be notable. The more you pile on, the more it looks like grasping at straws. If I were you, I would read carefully and repeatedly the documentation about notability and reliable sources before doing anything more.

Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. Thank you. IanDBeacon (talk) 16:37, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi SWP13, again I would direct you to policy in situations like this. iMDb does have some contentious use cases because it can be edited by anyone. Check here: Citing iMDb. It lists some items that are a green light to use and some that are not. The editor that removed your references probably did so in good faith. I can say that I have seen iMDb references removed from articles many times, including on my articles when I was beginning editing. Additionally, it would be nice if the editor had explained the edit in the edit summary. dawnleelynn(talk) 17:47, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SWP13,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Crystallizedcarbon and it's nice to meet you :-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Jake Ellis for deletion, because it seems to be an article that has been already decided by a consensus decision to be unsuitable for inclusion.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Crystallizedcarbon}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

General sanctions for Coronavirus disease 2019[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Gary Bric moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Gary Bric, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Regina Hing Yue Tsang[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 Regina Hing Yue Tsang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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.

Cecelia Lee Fung-Sing[edit]

Hi the article Cecelia Lee Fung-Sing you created is currently at new pages patrol. At the moment it is sourced only to hkmdb which isn’t acceptable as a source on Wikipedia. There are many other articles about Hong Kong actresses so if Cecelia Lee Fung-Sing is it able there must be others for her too. If you are able to find additional reliable independent sources the article will pass. If not it is likely to be sent back to draft or put up for deletion.

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.

COI Editor with Hiya requests help[edit]

Hello User:SWP13. My name is Mike, or User:Mferr1986, and I work for Hiya (company). You helped my predecessor, User:Lizhpowell, with updates to the article. As it is in need of updating again, I was hoping you might have time to help by making a couple of edits to the info box. Our employee count is now 150, and we have promoted Kush Parikh to president (formerly COO). There are other revisions that, I think, would improve the article, but the info box seems like the logical place to start. Thanks in advance! Mferr1986 (talk) 17:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!
