I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lutyens & Rubinstein for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons. For more details please see the notice on the article.

A tag has been placed on Barbara Bombi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

• I see that you have been advised many times above about this. Please take the trouble to create proper references for your articles: this should have had references, not bare URLs. At the very least, if you are going to leave the URLs bare please don't put square brackets round them. This version still looks a mess but at least the reader can see what sort of sources you're using, and which of them are identical. You're not a new editor, so please learn how to create references. Thanks. PamD 09:45, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You stated that

1516-1547 (which means we know he was alive during that time but with no indication when he was born or died).

Please be very careful not to add incorrect information to the encyclopedia. You seem to have mis-read his date of admission to university - or perhaps disbelieved 1513 as you'd got him being born in 1516. Read the sources carefully.

Eucharius Cervicornus is on my watch list - I see that I nominated a previous version for deletion in July 2017 as part of cleaning up the contributions of a banned user. PamD 09:59, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, I've now cleaned up your mistakes in that article, upgraded the references (I can't be bothered with the External Links bare URLs - a bot will probably come along and try to fix them), rejigged the text, and added a fascinating snippet which was in one of your sources, as well as LC's list of variant names. You needn't have done all of that, but please:

1. Be careful about accuracy: you had false birth, death, and university dates for this man: that's a lot of mistakes for one very short article
2. Add properly formatted references, so the reader can see where you got your information from. You've found good useful sources, please take the time to create a proper reference. If you use the "Ref toolbar" facility you can put in the Googlebooks URL, click on the little "autofill" icon, and it will make a fair stab at expanding the reference, though needs to be checked carefully and sometimes expanded.

Happy Editing, but please take more care. Thanks. PamD 10:50, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

.

It is not enough to quote a bare URL for a reference, and even worse when this is enclosed in square brackets rendering it invisible. The Wikipedia policy WP:Verifiability states that "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and it is satisfied by providing an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution". A bare URL concealed from the reader does not constitute an inline citation. Your continued creation of articles with these poorly-presented references is disruptive to the encyclopedia.

Hi Oskosst, I see you have started an article on Graeme Dunphy. Well actually, that's me. I'm delighted that you think I am noteworthy enough. I write for wikipedia too, but I really don't want to write about myself, so I will not be editing this new article at all. But you are welcome to ask me if you want to know anything. Incidentally, I am not a historian, my field is actually modern languages. The overlap with history is my work on chronicles, which are usually the provence of historians, but I treat them as works of literature. I am currently professor of translation in Würzburg at the FHWS (https://fang.fhws.de/fakultaet/personen/professoren-und-lehrkraefte/person/prof-dr-graeme-dunphy/). From 1993-2013 I was lecturer of English in Regensburg. If you are interested, you will find PDFs of a lot of my work on www.academia.edu.

Thank you for creating Richard William Pfaff.

I want to thank you for all your hard work creating articles. I really want to express my concern that you need to pay more attention to what you write and what it means. Writing an article about a man who died four years ago as if he was still alive, despite your only source for the article being his thorough, heartfelt obituary, can't seem anything other than insultingly slapdash, a cruel joke likely to cause distress to his family. I see you have been warned about shaky sourcing in the past, by me among others. Please be more careful in future. Your work really is appreciated, but your articles could be a lot better with just a little more time taken.
