Thanks for uploading File:Bima Perkasa.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:05, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I saw that you reverted my edit on the page of Jared Dillinger. You mentioned that there's a lot of similarities between this edit and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jared_Dillinger&oldid=1185470529. I have seen those edits and I didn't used that whole content because that was purely promotional. I only took a few basic things from that and I was interested on working on improving the page with more edits because if we Google the subject, we will find links about his media career as well as his basketball career. But on Wikipedia, the article only focuses on his basketball career. Please suggest if I should continue working on the article? Charsaddian (talk) 21:59, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

@Charsaddian The article only focuses on his basketball career That's because he is notable for being a basketball player, not for being a podcaster or a crypto guy. A small mention about those would suffice (probably a sentence like "He also hosts a podcast and is into crypto" or something), not a whole section that seems promotional. ^{Dieter Lloyd Wexler} 22:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Makes sense. Thanks @Dieter Lloyd Wexler for guiding. Charsaddian (talk) 23:04, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Why did you reverse my edit in Lorenzo Dalla Porta ? I change "would substitute" to "replaced", because it happened in the past. Ritai (talk) 23:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Dieter Lloyd Wexler. Thank you for your work on 2024 PBA All-Star Weekend. Another editor, SunDawn, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Good day! Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia by writing this article. I have marked the article as reviewed. Have a wonderful and blessed day for you and your family!

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|SunDawn}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 11:35, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

The article Adolphe Thomegeux has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article fails both the general notability guidelines and basic criteria for sports, as there is no significant coverage of this person.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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 page 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.

Hello Dieter Lloyd Wexler, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, NSA (basketball), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NSA (basketball).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Toadspike}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
