Speedy deletion nomination of Zack Scott
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Zack Scott, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. JTtheOG (talk) 23:31, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

[edit] Your addition to Assassination of John F. Kennedy has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 20:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Funeral (disambiguation), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, Evan0512!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Not updated Template:COVID-19 pandemic data/United States medical cases
[edit]You typed: Why is the western United States COVID-19 cases not updated as of 22:39 UTC/GMT?
- Are you seriously asking me why my volunteer effort is not fast enough for your liking? I don't get paid to edit this article, and I do it when the data is available for each of the states. If I'm not fast enough for you, then feel free to jump right in and edit it yourself! Bz8x8c (talk) 22:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
You asked: Why isn't Nebraska COVID-19 cases updated as of 04:13 UTC?
- Because they were late to update today, and I had other things to do besides sit and watch their dashboard for the update. When I finally noticed it was updated, I updated their case and death numbers. I believe I updated it before 04:13 UTC though, so not sure about the correctness of the timestamp in your question! Bz8x8c (talk) 04:18, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Note that I updated NE cases and added the daily totals almost 2 hours ago, so maybe you weren't seeing the update for some reason on your end. Bz8x8c (talk) 04:24, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Invitation to WikiProject Current Events
[edit]Hello. I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Current events as you have done edits on Portal:Current events. Most editors aren't aware that the project became active again in April 2020. Just wanted to inform you about that and hope you join.
Your help desk question
[edit]You did not get an answer to this question. Did you get help somewhere else? If not WP:VPT might be the correct place to ask.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 00:01, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- Your post was archived because it had an old time stamp. MediaWiki does not have spreadsheet features like that. There are old requests, e.g. phab:T120480. Currently it can only be done if all the involved rows are made by a template or module which can be difficult to code. mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##expr can make calculations but it cannot access the content of another cell. Some tables use it anyway but then you have to manually copy the numbers to the cell with the expression. PrimeHunter (talk) 07:57, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
List articles
[edit] Hello. Your recent edit to List of video game console emulators appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.
