Hi, Lord A.Nelson. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask a question on your talk page.

Hi there, thanks for creating the Sam Broughton article. Please be advised that biographies of living people must be referenced. Please review Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Schwede66 07:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

You need to add references. Infoboxes are nice extras; references are a requirement. Otherwise, it won't be long before the article is put up for deletion. If you don't know how to add references, please ask (here is good). Schwede66 09:07, 13 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Howdy hello! I wanted to let you know that I have just turned Sam Broughton into a redirect. I'm afraid that most local mayors do not meet our requirements for notability, i.e. aren't well enough written about to have a standalone article. I know it feels bad to have your work undone, so please ask on my talk page if you have any further questions. If you can find 3 more reliable and independent sources that show significant coverage of the subject, please post them on my talk page and I will reconsider the notability of the subject. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 19:25, 13 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, that's fine. I can understand that there want much in terms of volume of information for the article. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Cheers. Lord A.Nelson (talk) 00:28, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@CaptainEek: I concur with the notion above that there wasn't much to that article; hence it wasn't that useful. I suggest, however, that the subject has passed the notability threshold. Over the years, I have seen quite a bit of in-depth reporting. If you are interested in giving this another go, Lord A.Nelson, I suggest that you write this in draft namespace and I would be willing to give you a hand. I should not write the article myself as it could be argued that I have a conflict of interest. The very first thing would be to have a look around for sources. If enough can be found that is of substance, drafting could begin. Schwede66 03:54, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Schwede66, If a solid draft were created, I'd definitely give it a second look. I have no prejudice against recreation, but such recreation needs appropriate sourcing. Starting in draftspace would be ideal. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 03:57, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi. I've expedited your confirmed status. You can now edit semiprotected pages. Regards, El_C 00:10, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for changing my status! Very much appreciated. Cheers! Lord A.Nelson (talk) 00:17, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Catholic Bishops of Aotearoa New Zealand 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, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, 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 "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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 02:02, 23 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

An article you recently created, Malvern Hills, New Zealand, 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. buidhe 19:54, 28 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Buidhe. I shall have that sorted over the next few days or weeks. Lord A.Nelson (talk) 13:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament Choir and Orchestra 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/Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament Choir and Orchestra until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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. Ajf773 (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

There seems to be a recurring issue with you adding unreferenced content, and even unreferenced articles. That is a serious issue and it has to stop. Consider yourself warned. Wikipedia has just three core content policies, and verifiability is one of those. I recommend you give that page a read.

If you can't be bothered to add references, Wikipedia isn't the right hobby for you and you need to look for something else. If you carry on like this, you will soon see yourself blocked. If you need help with figuring out how to do something, please ask. Here's good. Schwede66 07:42, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Thank you for your concern. I can understand the importance of referencing and I totally agree with you. In regard with my 'recurring' issue of adding references, I am shocked. Yes, I can think of three notable examples, the first being of Sam Broughton (in which you left a message on my talk page), the second being Malvern Hills, New Zealand and Homebush, New Zealand. The reasoning for the first two examples are: I had not finished the article and secondly in regards to Homebush, the wikitext was copied over from the page of Aylesbury, New Zealand, which too, had no references. If that had not been addressed since December 2006, then surely it wouldn't hurt for Homebush (but learnt how wrong I was later when I read your message). If I do add something significant, I try and find a source, otherwise I leave it or wait till one is created. Your warning is heeded and I will take note. If there are any other examples of me violating a page with unreferenced material, please let me know as I would not liked to be blocked. I look forward to reading your reply. Kind regards, Lord A.Nelson (talk) 09:57, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

If the message has been heard then all is good. Schwede66 10:04, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Lord A.Nelson. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Malvern Hills".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian (talk) 22:00, 3 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Kia ora, with your new user name, it seems you are based in Christchurch. I don't think I knew that before. Are you interested in catching up with other Wikipedians? There are monthyly meetups going on; the template below has the dates. The next one is on 12 May! I won't attend as I've moved to Golden Bay; Heather and Mike are running the show.

I saw the page on one of Bermuda's speakers of the house A.W Bluck, I'm wondering where you got your source since I don't see any references. I'm working on something and this would be a huge help. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.147.83.180 (talk) 18:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
