Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ira Tiffen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.
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 removed 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.

A tag has been placed on Ira Tiffen 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 person or group of people, but it 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

Hello, I'm Dcirovic. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Ira Tiffen— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Actinus, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! –Compassionate727 (T·C) 20:09, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, the sources have not yet got to the required standard. We need to have independent, reliable, substantial sources. So far nearly every source there is connected to the subject. The only reliable independent one is a one liner from Columbia College. There should be a better reference than IMDB for the academy award. We don't count IMDB as reliable as anyone can edit this. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
The last references does not work, as it seems that the url was temporary. The next step you should do is to add the reference tags to the sentences in the article so that you get the clickable number linking to the foot notes. You use <ref>url etc</ref> inserted after the sentence to show where the information for the sentence came from. see WP:Referencing for beginners. Is there any independent reference for the emmy award? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:47, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
I have declined 3 speedy deletion nominations you made. Please go back and read the criterion. You had nominated all three of them as A1. All three of them had enough content to understand what the article was about. -- GB fan 11:20, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Okay. I put a few as missing information, which they were. Adotchar (talk) 12:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
I put a few as missing information, not delete. Only 3 were speedy deletion, and they were seemingly useless. Adotchar (talk) 14:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 10:16, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Adotchar, I've closed your "Optional RfA candidate poll" post as you've got no experience here at all,
Editors need to have been here for 5+ years and need to be working in the admin areas - All of which you've not done,
I would kindly suggest you focus less on becoming an admin and more on editing articles etc,
Thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 23:06, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, could you please explain why you tagged the Big Three (Peru) article for neutrality? Those three clubs are known as the big three in Peru. The tone is also neutral, I wrote objectively about it, and only stated facts. I also cited sources. The tag you added to the page says there is a discussion and explanation on the talk page, but there is none, so I thought I would ask why you tagged the article for neutrality, thanks.

Hello Adotchar. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at TV CRIME. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

You marked SwingThought Tour as reviewed. Such a large amount of text added in a single edit with [1] etc. is a strong indication that it is copy pasted. It is always a good idea to put some of the text into a search engine to find that out. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:47, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello again. Same goes for articles with heavily promotional language, like the line about David Sparte being a "modern-day story-teller who offers us a sometimes dark but totally unbiased vision of reality". Before you spend your time editing it to have a more appropriate tone, Google it to check whether the whole article is (as it was here) just copypasted from the musician's own website. --McGeddon (talk) 11:08, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi! I'm just curious what reason you have for deleting the PROD on Carol Mann (artist)? I do not see that you made any iumprovements to the article or changed it-- you just deleted it and said she was notable, and tagged it as POV. I did some searches and could not come up with anything significant on her. I'd suggest you should add references dsuporting notability, or restore the prod. What do you think?HappyValleyEditor (talk) 23:15, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, Adotchar, for reviewing my article on Brigadier General Frederic B Bates.
I am new to creating Wiki pages and I'm sure I will get better with time.
My question is that the eight references that I already linked to the content do cover ALL the material I wrote up. The approach I used was to put the reference against the first item that used that reference. How should I reference the following material? Should I be repeating the references? Or is there a smarter technique?
Maybe there is a Wiki page already that answers this question, which would make your reply easy. However, I've been looking and haven't found one.
This is also the first time I've used a talk page, so I hope I'm doing this right and will get a link to your response.
Thanks again for helping me.

Australian Yachtsman of the Year Awards is the fullest history of ths prestigious awards commenced in 1962 and Wikipedia has no history or mention of it AT ALL.I thought I was helping you guys out by providing the fullest history of its commencement and the awards right up until 2 years ago since 1962. I hope you accept this correct and interesting detail for history's sake as well as for Wikipedia to whom many of us turn to for information.

What makes you think Zauba Technologies is a hoax? I've tagged it under G11 (blatant advertising). Zerotalk 11:32, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- I don't exactly remember why I put the hoax tag, but I think that it's because much of the information was there as a hoax. Adotchar (talk) 09:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Adotchar,
It appears the page about SIRE Life Sciences needs more citations and promotional/advertising content. Is there any advice you could give on improving this article?
I tried to write the article in an objective manner, but I can understand if this is still too subjective.
I had a look at the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talent_Technology as it is a similair company.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey Adotchar! Just wanted to say that you do a great job on Wikipedia!

Also, remember to sign your posts with four of these ~. The page on you should be fixed up shortly, I'll be working on it later.
Hi Adotchar, you tagged an article with four references as unreferenced. You also said that a one paragraph article needed to be divided into sections. Did you give this article two whole seconds of glance? Adding header bars around the word references would right there have solved two of the problems that you tagged, (one not actually even being true in the first place). LadyofShalott 01:35, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
"You've messed up, a lot, on Uniporter, Symporter, Antiporter
I'll be adding tags to it.

Please, Adotchar, remove that now. That is unwelcoming at best and, frankly, vaguely threatening. If you don't delete that from that user's page, I will. That is not acceptable. LadyofShalott 03:24, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
