The article Denis Galimzyanov has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia: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. role^player 21:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your query, what you have to understand is that per WP:OWN, ownership of a created article is discouraged. Even though I hastily add the results quickly, there is no guarantee that they are 100% correct. I only take the information from on-screen idents from Eurosport that show the result. Thus, I am sure we are both capable of editing the article to a perfect standard. Cs-wolves(talk) 23:23, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you have created 2011 Tour Down Under, 2011 Tour de San Luis, and 2011 Tour de Suisse. These articles are not really set up in a way that fits the MOS. The 2010 Tour Down Under is a decent article which more nearly fits the MOS (though it needs a longer lead), same for 2009 Tour de Suisse. The articles you have started appear likely to replicate mistakes long made by the cycling project (lack of prose being chief among them, also MOS violations like wikilinks in section headers and misplaced highlighting). Please take time to look at other articles on cycling events (I can come up with further examples if you'd like) for an indication of articles that better fit the MOS, which make Wikipedia better.

Hi, I started a discussion on the cycling project, to see if this kind of list is notable enough for wikipedia. I noticed that you made several of those lists, so your opinion may be helpful. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 13:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken the next step, at Articles for Deletion. If you would like to give a reason why these lists should be kept, please join the discussion. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 07:47, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to 2011 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11 has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Cs-wolves(talk) 12:28, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sorry about that, i will try not to take from that site anymore, just to follow the race and write from my head. Anyway, thanks for telling me i didn't wrote well. Vlad997 (talk) 07:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article 2011–12 CFM Universitatea Cluj season has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page created just to be there. Was wrote a few lines and leave in ruin.

While all 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.

A tag has been placed on 2011–12 CFM Universitatea Cluj season, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Jjmihai (talk) 17:48, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 Vuelta a España, Stage 12 to Stage 21, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Alessandro De Marchi. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I noticed you recently adding the score of 3–1 to the Malawi vs Ethiopia match. A couple of pointers:
1) The score finished 3–2 so don't submit edit until match is officially finished.
2) One of the goalscorers was Frank Banda, this player has not got a page so please don't link to a unnamed page.
3) When updating the results, please also update the table and the league grid.

Skyblueshaun (talk) 14:32, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, i had a lot of notifications and i just saw that the match has ended, my mistake was not looking at the score. Thanks for the observation, it won't happen again

Vlad997 (talk) 16:14, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking points onboard. I use to have it happen to me all the time. Just one more when adding scores can use – instead of - if that makes sense. Skyblueshaun (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've started the revamp of the article. The matches haven't been updated in a while. Would you be able to help out with it? Kingjeff (talk) 02:15, 9 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. 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.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
