Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

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.

The article Liam Hughes (footballer, born 2001) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Footballer who fails GNG and NFOOTY. Too soon.

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.

An article you recently created, Vitezslav Jaros, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, OGBC1992. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Liam Hughes (footballer, born 2001), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

This feels like a very threatening message for something as innocuous as not including a citation. --OGBC1992 (talk) 09:46, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why does it feel threatening? Mattythewhite (talk) 23:55, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because you’re literally threatening me with being blocked from editing for a mere oversight, rather than any deliberate malice. No good faith assumed. Suggest you be more careful of your tone in future. OGBC1992 (talk) 10:50, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding new content to a player's honours section without a source isn't a "mere oversight", and looking at your talk page there is clearly a pattern emerging. My message wasn't a threat, it was fair warning that if such editing continues it could result in a block. Mattythewhite (talk) 16:00, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, MOS:POSTNOM is clear Post-nominal letters should either be separated from the name by a comma and each set divided by a comma, or no commas should be used at all. If a baronetcy or peerage is held, then commas should always be used for consistency's sake, as the former are separated from the name by a comma. It also says: This template needs the Stop deleting commas if they are already there, it isn't wrong to have them. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 16:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable.[m] If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Descendants of George V, you may be blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 12:54, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That entire section is unsourced, so I suggest you remove the whole thing, rather than focussing on one particular amendment. OGBC1992 (talk) 15:49, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The section isn't wrong. Your addition was. You've made up a nonsense false statistic and stuck in the article. You will be blocked if you continue to insert garbage that you have invented yourself. DrKay (talk) 17:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't a single citation in the entire Statistics section of that article. By all means add some, but at the moment there aren't any. That's objective fact. And by 'making up a nonsense false statistic', I presume you mean 'can count', as the most cursory glance at the table directly above the Statistics section reveals that George V has several great-great-great-grandchildren who are listed. Being able to count to 21 isn't really the same thing as inventing garbage, is it? OGBC1992 (talk) 18:10, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is why you keep getting warnings. You are not listening to them. You are not reading edit summaries. There are way more than 21. I told you this explicitly but you are not listening. The others are not listed. Stop acting up. Pay attention. Do as you are told--provide sources; do not make things up. DrKay (talk) 18:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is also explicit on the talk page: Talk:Descendants of George V#Removal of Mary's descendants, which of course you haven't bothered to check or read. DrKay (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have not edited it since your latest reversion, if it hadn’t escaped your notice. Perhaps you could have assumed good faith in the first instance, it might have saved a lot of time and prevented you looking quite so hysterical.

I shan’t edit again; good luck with your personal project, which it seems very much to be. I notice that the section of the ‘Talk’ page you linked to featured no other contribution or consensus. I presumed one might require at least some cursory agreement to proceed with such a change but that’s by the by.

Also, your entire Statistics section seems unsourced. Maybe add some citations to improve the article? Have a nice evening doc. OGBC1992 (talk) 18:48, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing requires no permission, particularly when the suggested edit has received no opposition in two weeks and the performed edit has not received any opposition ever.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2022 Political Honours. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2022 Special Honours & 2022 Prime Minister's Resignation Honours. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2022 Special Honours & 2022 Prime Minister's Resignation Honours. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Nford24 (PE121 Personnel Request Form) 05:17, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi OGBC1992! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Yohann Gène that may not have been.

Reverting my work. OK but it said that Nadine Dorries and the other one will not stand at the next election even though they had already resigned. So please before reverting someone's work just maybe modify it if it need it not be rude and tell other editors they are wrong. Jord656 (talk) 12:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jord, didn't mean to be rude and sorry you've taken it that way. I reverted because it is a section specifically for those MPs who have announced they won't contest the next General Election. Both Dorries and Adams were counted in this category until they both resigned prematurely, which is slightly different to the circumstances regarding Boris Johnson as he'd not given any indication of stepping down. The section probably reflected this fine beforehand, which is why I did a straight revert, rather than modify your work to take it back to where it was anyway.

Take care - cheers. OGBC1992 (talk) 13:03, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello OGBC1992. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:OGBC1992. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=OGBC1992|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. I noticed you have inserted various adaptations by London Children's Ballet into various works. The upcoming ones are especially concerning. Do you have any personal/professional relationship with the Ballet? Graywalls (talk) 14:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Graywalls; no, I have no relationship with this company, professional, personal or otherwise. I simply realised - in the course of my regula reading - that their productions are not listed amongst the various Adaptations sections and sought to correct that, albeit yes, in quite a block. I hope that is acceptable. OGBC1992 (talk) 14:57, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying. Promotional editing has unfortunately become a common thing, so, I had to check. Graywalls (talk) 15:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood; with regards to The Secret Garden, it is a previous production anyway so definitely not promotional, and with regards to Ballet Shoes, the content relating to the upcoming production was not added by me (although I feel that announcement of a stage adaptation at the Royal National Theatre is worthy of inclusion all the same.) I will endeavour to find some secondary sources to back these edits up. Thanks. OGBC1992 (talk) 15:07, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Graywalls I see that despite our establishing this was not promotional you have chosen to revert a whole suite of edits en masse; if you checked the source you would see that these were not adverts but pages from an archive of past productions, of equal encyclopaedic value to other adaptations listed, and should not therefore be deleted as advertorial. Kindly reinstate.

If you feel a non-primary source is necessary (for the given citations count as primary sources, rather than adverts), then tag them as such, rather than just deleting. OGBC1992 (talk) 18:04, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not appropriate to introduce contents in the way you did. See WP:BURDEN and WP:DUE. Graywalls (talk) 18:18, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's interesting how you change your argument every time you're challenged but I can't be bothered to argue it anymore. I plan on restoring the table of previous productions to the main LCB article as I think it is of genuine encyclopaedic value, in the same way that filmographies and discographies are to the articles for actors and musicians.

My initial concern was that you may have been doing so in connection with the organization. However, just because you're not doing so on their behalf doesn't make such addition ok. Please see WP:NOTADIRECTORY and WP:NOTAWEBHOST. Encyclopedia articles are not a place to host a list of products/releases/etc of a company. By the time you got to the Ballet's page, you'll note that page was severely contaminated by PR spam accounts LondonChildrensBallet1994, LCBallet and Londonchildrensb.
