Springer, one of the world's leading publishers, now lists 70 items by this author, and rumours have it that they prepare a Festschrift with contributions by Hartmut Elsenhans, Manfred Steger and many others for 2023

Austrian political observer (talk) 05:45, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

• Dear Austrian political observer, I think a big part of the problem is the over-pomotional approach that has been taken tothe WP page on Arno Tausch, the defence of the page by some in the AFDs and the spreading cites to him throughout WP. I suspect this is due to a lack of appreciation of the problem of conflict of interest editing. For example if you yourself have any connections with Arno Tausch that it could be wise to refrain from editing WP in a way that could be seen to be promotional and one should make some mention of any COI that could arise. This is only my view of the WP approach. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 12:12, 8 July 2022 (UTC))

Answer: I can only repeat: == https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arno_Tausch == This delition was carried out although a major cleanup of the article was finished before - all of a sudden during the debate - a user simply draftified the article, which is now in a good shape. All this is really frustrating: you re-write an article, and - here it disappears! The article now would have met all wikipedia standards, and there are dozens, and dozens of worse articles on social scientists all around the present Encyclopedia.

The author featured in the article, Arno Tausch, has now 70 entries at SpringerLink^[1], and Open Syllabus, which is a database with nine million English-language syllabi from 140 countries and which was founded at The American Assembly, a public policy institute associated with Columbia University ^[2] lists 59 global classes using materials by Tausch on their syllabi. ^[3] The decision to delete the article is really absurd Austrian political observer (talk) 21:33, 13 July 2022 (UTC) Austrian political observer (talk) 21:41, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

On 19 September 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Royal Navy State Funeral Gun Carriage, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a coffin carriage used in British state funerals (pictured) has been pulled by sailors since an incident at Queen Victoria's funeral in 1901? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Royal Navy State Funeral Gun Carriage. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Royal Navy State Funeral Gun Carriage), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

I notice you added extremely long decimal coordinates to the Kalinago Territory article. Google has taken to providing 16-digit coordinates in what is believed to be a copyright trap scheme. That level of precision is in the 1/100th of a micrometer range. WP:OPCOORD calls for always rounding or truncating coordinates (tldr: use DD°MM'SS" or D.dddd° for everything).

Thank you for uploading File:Louis le Broquey Eire Stamp1977.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Msrasnw Would you kindly take a look at this article Paul Oluikpe and possibly give me feedback? I look forward to hearing from you and sincerely appreciate.

• Dear @Cfaso2000,I have had a quick look at the page on Paul Oluikpe and checked for sources of notability but can't find things that would help satisfy requirements. Sorry and best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 11:33, 14 September 2024 (UTC)) PS Have you forgotten to suggest we keep the page on Prof CU Abengowe?

  Dear @Msrasnw thanks for your feedback. I will continue to search for sources for the article. Regarding Prof CU Abengowe, I thank you for going through the article, finding sources and also suggesting to keep the page. Cfaso2000 (talk) 13:23, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Nguyen Van Troi Photo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:33, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lello Zolla. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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 noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. The decision at the AfD was very clear; draftify until the obvious errors such as non-existent sources etc were repaired. It was certainly inappropriate to ignore the opinions of multiple editors and the AfD closer, you are making work for others. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:24, 25 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia, and in particular for adding references, as you did to British Rail Class 08! However, adding a bare URL is not ideal, and exposes the reference to link rot. It is preferable to use proper citation templates when citing sources, including details such as title, author, date, and any other information necessary for a bibliographic citation. Here's an example of a full citation using the {{cite web}} template to cite a web page:

Lorem ipsum<ref>{{cite web |title=Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac |publisher=Canon Inc |work=Ask a Question |date=2022 |url=https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART174839 |access-date=2022-04-02}}</ref> dolor sit amet.

which displays inline in the running text of the article as:

Lorem ipsum^[1] dolor sit amet.

and displays under References as:

1. ^ Download the Scanning Software - Windows and Mac". Ask a Question. Canon Inc. 2022. Retrieved 2022-04-02.

If you've already added one or more bare URLs to an article, there are tools available to expand them into full citations: try the Citer tool, or in the wikitext editor, try the reFill tool, and in the Visual Editor, the reference dialog can convert some bare urls into a full citation. Once again, thanks for adding references to articles. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 16:04, 30 August 2025 (UTC)

The article Continuum structure function has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NEO, WP:SYNTH. Has been a two-sentence stub since creation and in CAT:NN since 2012. Is so dense with jargon that I don't see any use for this even as a merge/redirect.

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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.
