The article Ivan Antonov (Professional Gamer) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ ^{Talk Email} 10:36, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Benedict Lim has been reverted.
Your edit here to Benedict Lim was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/limmyhy) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

A tag has been placed on Wu Sheng 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:25, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Bu Yanjun is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bu Yanjun until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Joseph Fox 12:44, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Bu Yanjun. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:47, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in order to establish that a person is notable, these criteria need to be fulfilled. To verify that the person is notable, you need reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Hope this helps. --Crusio (talk) 14:36, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just thought I'd let you know that I saw your article Jacob Toft-Andersen in the New Articles list-- This image is real great.However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the references in the article do not follow Wikipedia guidelines. There is a tutorial on formatting citations at Wikipedia:Referencing. It would be great if you could also improve the related article DOTA. Jipinghe (talk) 22:23, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will once again and directly on your talk page ask you this. Do you have any connection to any of these players or organizations outside of Wikipedia that may be considered a conflict of interest? Ridernyc (talk) 01:02, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've wondered this as well. Sergecross73 msg me 01:53, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

he responded on my talk page. He has no conflict, he is however discussing and inviting user from a message board here to swing the debate. [ http://gosugamers.net/dota/thread/847192/start/51] I see no evidence of meatpupetry yet, but he put the invitation out there. Ridernyc (talk) 02:00, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw that you created a sub-section for Valve's Gamescom tournament and as admirable as your intentions were, it was interfering with the integrity of the page, because the text used wasn't even centered around The International; it simply mentioned that it was a stepping stone for development and there was also text for Valve's new development plans. Further mentions of The International may be mentioned later on, but not until the game has been released, in which it would be classified as the "annual Dota 2 championship", under "Reception and Legacy", just like its predecessor article, Defense of the Ancients.

I do understand that you had the best intentions, but please, step back for a while and learn the ropes of Wikipedia before making such an edit. We already have it covered in the article and according to the peer review, it has progressed as far as it can go for now. DarthBotto _talk•cont 04:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. It may be okay to mention it on the page for Gamescom, under the 2010 section, but it would likely encounter the same degree of scrutiny that your other pages have been met with. Again, I'd figure that it would be good to have it predominantly mentioned in the future, when the competitive scene takes off, but until then, we should probably stay the course. DarthBotto _talk•cont 01:48, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would recommend that any future projects be discussed at the video games project. And notice I say discuss not just argue with them endlessly if you don't like what they tell you. Also please reply here, keep conversations on one page.Ridernyc (talk) 01:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really think i am arguing endlessly instead of discussing the feasibility of those projects i mentioned? I have made a strong claim here. On The International, i think with these sources provided by another user, ology.com, VG247, VG247, VG247, GameRevolution.com, Joystiq, ShackNews, Kotaku, GamesRadar, PCGamer, GamePro, GameFront, is it sufficiently notable? Redefining history (talk) 02:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and to prove the point how many times are you going to post that same set of sources and have it explained to you why they do not establish notability? You argue endlessly and if you don;t get your way you go to another page and make the same statements there, then off to another page, then back to the first page... Ridernyc (talk) 02:17, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at these sources, they ARE independent and disinterested sources about the competition itself, what else does it need? Redefining history (talk) 02:21, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So you are going to prove you don't argue endlessly by now arguing endlessly here on your talk page yet another place. not getting into it here with you you can take advice or you can totally ignore it. Your current attitude and tact will get you nowhere. I'll say it again I recommend you bring all your projects to the video games project page and listen to them and take their advice.

Category:Professional DotA Players, which you created, has been nominated for discussion.

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The International. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's an example of how to add references:

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question.

The International (Dota 2 Competition), which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

• Please continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request.
• If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider

Thank you for helping Wikipedia!

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:The international.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Good luck at entering in another argument with me :D Redefining history (talk) 10:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Champions navi.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ridernyc (talk) 10:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Redefining history. You have new messages at The Interior's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

To make this clear. If you start a conversation on anymore talk pages about the same issue I will go to WP:ANI. You are clearly canvassing and arguing an ideology at this point. You have shown no good faith in other editors constantly making accusations about them. Your behavior is beyond disruptive to the project at this point. I will ask the Administrators for a topic ban which means you will not be able to take part in any video game or gamer related articles. Please stop your disruptive behavior. Ridernyc (talk) 13:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll sit back for awhile first and give time for other readers to answer my question. Redefining history (talk) 14:01, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been considering going to ANI also, and will make sure to voice my concerns if it comes to that. I think a topic restriction encompassing all of gamign would be unessecary, restricting to professional gaming, eSports, competitions and the games in these competitions would be sufficient. I also find the lack of good faith in trying to reach standard consensus to be a concern. The "shopping" and multiple discussions in various places about a single topic greatly worries me. On the other hand, I have no doubt the editor is, from a content creation standpoint, a great asset to Wikipedia. As I've told you before, RedefiningHistory, I strongly wish you would put your skills to good use instead of continuing to argue and stockpiling discussion and content creation about the same thing (only to be deleted by evident consenses). You hoping you can move on and start contributing constructively. :) Salvidrim (talk) 07:25, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Was it yesterday or two days ago that you promised me on IRC that you would disengage from forum shopping? Oh wait. That was yesterday on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard: "Sorry for that. I'll go to sleep first. Won't canvass anyone of you in chats, wont go aggressive again. I never knew what is the criteria for canvassing." And yeah. I can't quite figure out how to say this, but on IRC, I thought it was made abundantly clear to you: If you went to another Wikipedia page to ask about sources, you would be before WP:AN/I. Why did you continue to do this type editing when you have been told by multiple that this was not appropriate? --LauraHale (talk) 07:45, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your behavior is now being discussed at AN/I [1] Ridernyc (talk) 07:29, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of Dota 2 Heroes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:GAMECRUFT - this article belongs on one of the other game wikis, not here

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.
