Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (

The article Timeline of Occupy Wall Street has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Already a timeline of protest on the "Occupy Wall Street" page, so seems redundant to have this page

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be

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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Timeline of Occupy Wall Street 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/Timeline of Occupy Wall Street 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 good 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 template from the top of the article. AMERICAN 1 ENGINEER (talk) 09:30, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Christian Roess,

I'm part of a team that is researching ways to help Wikipedia editors find interesting content to contribute to Wikipedia. More specifically, we are investigating whether content from news sources can be used to enhance Wikipedia editing. We have created a tool, called wikiFeed, that allows you to specify Twitter and/or RSS feeds from news sources that are interesting to you. wikiFeed then helps you make connections between those feeds and Wikipedia articles. We believe that using this tool may be a lot of fun, and may help you come up with some ideas on how to contribute to Wikipedia in ways that interest you. Please participate! To do so, complete this survey and follow this link to our website. Once you're there, click the "create an account" link to get started.

For more information about wikiFeed, visit our project page. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask via my talk page, or by email at [email protected]. We appreciate your time and hope you enjoy playing with wikiFeed!

Thanks! FifthCrow (talk) 19:54, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As someone who is listed as a participant for

Deletionist User:Bobrayner has deleted the entire contents of Death of the Liberal Class, replacing it with a redirect to the book author's (Chris Hedges) Wikipedia page. I reverted his changes. Based on the deletionist's edit history, I suspect the deletion of being an apparent partisan edit by that user from a conservative bias similar to other previous deletions for other articles. As I noted in my edit summary, this suppression of disagreed-with "liberal" content ironically seems to be an example of the book's main point. He then deleted the article's contents again and I reverted it again. I asked that the deletion of the page's content be discussed before he deletes it again. Looking at that user's edit history, he/she seems to be good at making up short edit summaries citing Wikipedia guidelines to justify what seem to be biased partisan deletes to suppress content -- including labeling changes by me as "sock" when they are not (that being an undeserved slur perhaps intended for you as the main author of that article). I suggest you discuss the deletion of the article's contents with him/her on the article's talk page as that user may well delete the contents again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.90.187 (talk) 12:29, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May I remind you of a few things?

• The article fails the
  notability guideline
  . Non-notable articles are a bad thing.
• Canvassing
  is bad, too.
• Ditto for
  personal attacks
  .

If you're unable to comply with wikipedia's (admittedly rather low) standards for notability and civility, there are plenty of other websites you could try instead. bobrayner (talk) 19:52, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Very late for in the news. Sadly, references are hard to find online. I tried checking Google News but got zero results. Some English coverage on the websites of newspapers Manila Bulletin, The Philippine Star and Philippine Daily Inquirer, and Tagalog ones in tabloids like Tempo, Bandera, Journal. Most links have rot though, you'd have to check Google's cached copy. Plus, there's entertainment, if not gossip, news on the ABS-CBN, pep and Rappler sites but needs careful checking since some of the writers are using Wikipedia as a reference.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Hi Christian Roess! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
