A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cynthia Ashley-Nelson is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cynthia Ashley-Nelson until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fiddle Faddle 15:42, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi Leglish; I'm a friend and collaborator of Cindy's. Unfortunately, at this point in time, I believe there is essentially no chance that the article will pass AfD, and I've read an awful lot of AfD's in my time here. Are you okay with me moving Cindy's page in to your userspace so that it can be preserved as a memorial, and so that we can circumvent a discussion about a topic that is likely to be sensitive for many?

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on North American art requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Teh Cheezor ^Speak 08:12, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Because of the way your edit re-arranged information and broke paragraphs up, it is extremely difficult to tell if it removed sourced information or not. I would ask that you make your changes in small chunks, so it can be more easily compared to the originally, and urge you not remove any sourced information when you do so. Addition of sourced information is, ot course, excellent. For the reasons I've given I've reverted your edit. BMK (talk) 04:28, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You re-edited with an edit summary of "solved", but I don't think it is. The original version starts with the establishment of the museum, and then goes to the history that led up to it. As far as I can tell, yours bounces around all over the place. How about a version which uses the original structure, but which adds the information you're adding to it? BMK (talk) 04:41, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, 1st "chunk" looks fine. BMK (talk) 04:50, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to say that your writing is very poor, in some cases almost unreadable. I suggest that you limit yourself to edits which don't require creating new blocks of text, because you do not seem to be capable of doing so at the level required for an encyclopedia. BMK (talk) 21:42, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Raquel “Ra” Brown 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 band or musician, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

In case the Raquel “Ra” Brown article is deleted before you see this reply on its Talk page, I'm copying it here:

Hi. The article doesn't give any sign that she's "one of the most known and active poets in DC", so in that sense it doesn't indicate her significance. You can probably fix that, but you'll need to come up with reliable sources independent of her and of the events and performance venues with which she's been associated to establish her significance.

About the references you provided: IMDB is considered WP:ROUTINE, listing virtually everybody who has ever been involved with any film or television program. It's kind of like being listed in the phone book: it isn't treated as a source for establishing the notability of a person. Regarding the Shoko Festival and KenCen links: It's assumed that performance, arts, and convention venues will list the events happening at their locations and will identify the individuals participating in them. They can suffice for purposes of verification of statements in a Wikipedia article, but as routine listings and as primary sources they don't establish notability. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:38, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for creating List of women in films, Leglish!

Wikipedia editor Esquivalience just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Although broad, it is an important topic, as noted by the coverage of under-representation of women in films. This should be expanded with the history of women in films for completeness.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, History of American art (Deleted). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – [Art_of_the_United_States]. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [Art_of_the_United_States] – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Savonneux (talk) 04:00, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I agree... But actually I think that we need that article... I think that we can create a improved page for History of American art, and keep this one, I will try to do a good job in a new version of that new article and an improved version of American art article. Your job give me some ideas. Have a nice day.--Leglish (talk) 13:59, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The main article on the subject is Visual art of the United States. You should read WP:FORK carefully before attempting to create a new article that could be considered a fork of that, and raise what you are intending to do on the talk page there. The lists you have so far created for several periods suggest you are not at all ready to start such an article, and are problemmatic in themselves. Johnbod (talk) 15:28, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You know, when you talk or write about arts you are not talking or writting only about visual arts... you should reconsider leave the article Art of the United States how it was before, and also the other three articles that I just create:

Colonial American Art

18th-century American Art, and

19th-century American Art

You cannot prettend to put those four articles in one non related article called Visual art of the United States.

Those that you called lists are not finished articles are stubs and a beggining for better articles... I would like you to go and learn how it works in articles for other conuntries and then try to delete them telling that history of "those periods of time are just lists":

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:03, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?

  If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.

  All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian

The questionnaire[edit]

Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.

Detailed Instructions: you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).

We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact column-editor GamerPro64, copy-editor 75.108.94.227, or copy-editor Ryk72. Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping Wikipedia. GamerPro64 14:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Migration from Latin America to Europe. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

The article Freedom in the United States has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This seems like a twist on a disambig page to other articles about rights. It is tagged as an orphan, needing more citations, and incomplete. Expanding this article would be duplicative of existing Human rights in the United States, and the US Bill of Rights that discuss US freedoms. It has had 48 hits over the past 20 days.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

An article you recently created, Heidi J. Boisvert, 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.

Hi, thank you for your recent contributions to LGBTQIA+-related articles! However, please note that the "See also" section generally should not include links that are already somewhere else in the article (see MOS:NOTSEEALSO), as you added here, here or here. Obviously not a huge issue, just keep that in mind for the future, thank you. Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 11:09, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you recently made a very large good faith change to the LGBT article. Unfortunately in doing so you relegated everything other than sexual identities since you raised those up, but the LGBTQIA+ identities go far beyond just sexual identities, which is what the main purpose of the LGBT article is about, to give an overview of the initialism and the things it encompasses, which it does well it's in current form.

There are already links to the various identites it captures in the article and sidebar, so I don't think listing them all (which by itself is difficult since the term includes many, and also not just sexual identities, and was part of the reason for the reversion of the changes, as you only highlighted some), so I think it is better to keep the article as is, as an explanation of the history of the initialism and overview of some of the variants.

I recommend you make a proposal at the Talk:LGBT talk page to get consensus before making a very big change that potentially changes the meaning of an article.

Please also note that you changed the sorting of some of the alternative concepts/terms that are used alternatively to LGBT, per MOS:COMMON, we should try to order these with most common terms first, so concepts like SGM/GSRM are more widely used worldwide than terms specific to a part of the world community, such as pacific islander community.

Hi Leglish, I reverted your edit on Polyamory because it appears to be original research with no verification. Please provide citations from reliable sources. Peaceray (talk) 01:56, 21 April 2023 (UTC) Added... Thanks.--Leglish (talk) 02:07, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
