Speedy deletion nomination of Nervosa (band)[edit]

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 Nervosa (band), 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 soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://statoperator.com/research/washington-daily-news-2018-06-05/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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. 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.

citation location[edit]

Yes the citation goes after the comma. Or period. Or paren. Otherwise you have a punctuation mark floating out there. If you have more punctuations, it goes after all of them, like this:

(He was dead already, having been executed in July (he had waived his right of appeal (problematic in Colorado anyway)).)^{[that's a lie]}.

Not that I'm recommending writing like that. It's just an example.

Yeah that was a good tag -- seems odd. I suppose they could have had "He was let from sinning" meaning "He was forbidden from sinning"... they talked funny back then. But I've never heard of or seen that. Herostratus (talk) 22:09, 22 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries[edit]

Hi, I noticed you recently had an edit summary "ACTIVE USERS 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀". On Wikipedia, that might be considered vandalism. Just a note for the future. Hold with your 💎✋, Thanoscar21^talk_{contributions} 15:32, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Alex Smith, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Specifically per MOS:NOPIPE, generally do not use pipes over redirects. —Bagumba (talk) 06:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I should stick to fixing typos because I do not entirely agree with that style guideline (but of course I'm not going to fight it, and it makes sense in some cases). I find it aesthetically displeasing when I click on a link and get a redirect notice. Also, in this specific case, neither of the "advantages" mentioned at MOS:NOPIPE applies, and, in fact, in the unlikely event that some notable future organization adopted the name "Washington Redskins," the link would become incorrect, or at least needlessly point to a disambiguation page. In an alternate universe in which the trade happened in 1995 to the team in Cleveland, and the NFL didn't work out the deal to keep the Browns' records in Cleveland but rather treated the new Browns as an expansion team instead of the Ravens, you would, I assume, prefer "he was traded to the Cleveland Browns" (even if that's confusing) to "he was traded to the Cleveland Browns," as the latter would be clearly incorrect (maybe there's a third alternative that's better than both of those, and yeah, sure, that's a contrived situation). So while I will defer to your judgment to avoid an edit war, and perhaps you can change my mind (if you even read this), I continue to believe that the style guide should be defied in this case. Maybe this is a case of premature optimization, though, and the philosophy is that we should only worry about implausible scenarios like the one I suggest if they actually happen, in which case I guess I have no valid objection and this whole reply is an exercise in futility. Thanks for the information. —GreenWeasel11 (talk) 22:58, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
