Disambiguation link notification for May 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lights, Camera, Lexi!, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tom Smith and Chris Hamilton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Second wedding

A tag has been placed on Second wedding requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines 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. Blueclaw (talk) 15:02, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Punching sword

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 Punching sword, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• The page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. (See section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
• It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. 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 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. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 10:40, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

July 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:The Magic School Bus (TV series) ‎ are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. SummerPhD^v2.0 21:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Duplicate RMs

Hi. I'm sure in good faith but you appear to have opened two RM templates on the same article. When that happens one or both should be withdrawn. It is probably better that you do not select which to withdraw yourself, but you should be aware that this is likely to happen. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:03, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi: thought I did say I withdrew the first, but I probably didn't do it properly, did I have to change the template? I guess it may be moot now that it got absorbed into larger article. ScratchMarshall (talk) 21:18, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes there were closing instructions on the template. No matter now. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:22, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Your edits on Unite the Right rally

Are you really suggesting that the cause of death of a person who died in the vehicle-ramming attack was something other than the car? If not, it's accurate to say that the car killed the woman. Power~enwiki (talk) 23:28, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Unite the Right rally

Please stop making disruptive edits.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please attempt to seek consensus on the talk page for your changes, or at least describe their nature there. Power~enwiki (talk) 16:12, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Particularly troubling is your turning that car thing into a "collision". Setting aside the question of the categories, that's pure POV editing. Drmies (talk) 02:47, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Talk:Unite the Right rally. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 07:43, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

This [1] is moving into personal attack territory. Please remember that Wikipedia requires consensus. Acroterion (talk) 16:43, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

Please don't accuse editors of libel unless in a report to ANI

That's a very serious accusation. You also seem to be ignoring WP:AGF. I've already said this on my talk page but it needs to be said here also. Doug Weller talk 11:10, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
