[edit] Dr. Ben
A tag has been placed on Dr. Ben, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

[edit] April 2008
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Beta Israel. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. CardinalDan (talk) 00:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
ATTN CardinalDan:
This is a declaration of our exclusive authority and rights over the use and spelling of the name of our religious denomination, Bete Israel, which Wikipedia keeps misspelling. A church denomination or any religious organization has the same "tradename"/"trademark" kind of rights as any other kind of organization would have over its name.
Therefore, as the current head-clergy of Bete Israel, the denomination being discussed, I assert that it to be my right to correct any misspelling of our denomination's name!
Now I want and have tried to move the entire article in question from having the misspelled title "Beta Israel" to the correct spelling "Bete Israel". There is no such thing as "Beta Israel". It is an incorrect spelling of the name of our church denomination.
So if I did as intended in an incorrect manner, then give me all the specifics of the correct way to do so. If you do not like such spelling errors being corrected, then I will deny further permission to use the name of our church denomination, misspelled or otherwise. It is the right of our denomination to dictate the correct way to spell or transliterate the name of our denomination, as well as to permit , restrict, regulate or forbid the use of our denominational name, over which name we assert and reserve all rights, and use of said name by our clergy on Wikipedia is entirely without prejudice to said rights. Now will you contimue to obstruct my spelling correction or will you help me to correct it in the proper manner. That is my question to you.

[edit] Notability of "Sister Ruth" Dixon
A tag has been placed on "Sister Ruth" Dixon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 20:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- "Sister Ruth" Dixon has been recreated as Sister Ruth Dixon per your request. However, even with my edits I cannot find anything which will keep this article alive. Please read Wikipedia's notability criteria for inclusion, Wikipedia's policy on verifiable facts, and Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 13:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

- I've renominated the article for deletion using the more formal Articles for deletion process so that the article can be looked over by a wider variety of editors. The discussion for this nomination can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sister Ruth Dixon, and you are absolutely free to provide your input there. Please note that this is not a vote, but an attempt to reach a consensus. Discussions normally last for five days, though they can be longer or shorter based on how clear the consensus is, or on other factors. That said, I agree that the article will need to be improved substantially if it is to have any chance of surviving.

- To follow up on Tony's message: There's nothing in the article as written that indicates Sister Ruth meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies. It's not on us to ask you why the article should be kept, it's on you to provide the justification in the first place by backing up the information with proper references. Other editors can and often do help the original author by shoring up the sourcing of a new article, but it would save a lot of grief if you gave them more to go on.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Tewodros II of Ethiopia, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Teru Minilik. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.
You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.--Orange Mike | Talk 01:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
