RfDs

To recommend a QD or RfD you need to understand our policies and guidelines. Looking at the requests you've submitted (under one or two IP addresses) it seems you still may not fully understand several of our policies here. The 'throw everything against the wall to see what sticks' approach is not an effective way to nominate pages for deletion. If you want to nominate dicdefs for deletion, then try to distinguish what they are. Read, and reread as necessary, Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Read: Wikipedia:Stub. Read (and ask if you have questions) the comments left by other editors. Soon you should be able to distinguish between a pure dicdef, which does not belong here, and a stub that begins with a definition. You can also improve a stub but will find it harder to improve a dicdef. So hands-on editing with stubs will give you experience. If you see one that needs improving, go ahead and do what you can to improve it. The object here is not to be right all the time; the object is to do what you think is right based on an understanding of policies and guidelines. This is work that needs doing here, but it needs to be done effectively. One other suggestion; instead of saying an article already exists at wiktionary (when you just submitted it), say you submitted it to wikt. See, just submitting a dicdef there does not insure it will be approved. So if you say it's already there, and it's been deleted, it becomes an inaccurate statement. I'm just encouraging you to improve these RfDs nominations before this becomes a problem. Ask if you need any help. Rus793 (talk) 15:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

Religion in Canada

Thanks for the new articles on religious denominations in Canada. I created Category:Religion in Canada that you can use for these. Cheers! --Auntof6 (talk) 22:32, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Hurricane Gert (1999)

I saw you had a problem naming the article and chose a misspelling of the name instead. The article title should always be spelled correctly. So please don't create an article with a misspelled name. If done by accident the article can be moved to create the generally accepted correct name spelling. But if an article of the same name already exists here, Wikipedia does not allow two articles to have identical names. In a case where Wikipedia rejects an article name it's always best to stop and try to find out what the problem is before proceeding. In the case where there already is an article on the same subject, you may see an opportunity to improve that article instead of trying to create a new one. If you need any help you can find it at Wikipedia:Simple talk. Just post your question at the bottom under a new section heading and don't forget to sign your posting with four tilde characters (~~~~). Thanks Rus793 (talk) 14:50, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Copied articles

Thanks for your recent articles. When you can, take another look at Wikipedia:How to copy from another Wikipedia. You’re following most of the points but there are a couple of things that can be improved. Attribution (crediting the original source and authors) is a legal requirement here. This is covered in steps 15 and 16 in the how to copy guideline. For example, in the article New Zealand Labour Party, in the edit comments you put "Created article". Following the two steps above the edit comment could have read: "Copied article from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=New_Zealand_Labour_Party&oldid=619624194". There are other options, but this is the simplest and it satisfies the attribution requirement. Just put "copied from" in the edit window followed by the permanent link url from the English wiki article after it. Also, in the articles you’ve copied, most of the English Wikipedia articles they’re copied from have source citations. If you copy the sources you’ll need to create a == References ==section with a {{reflist}} template. Some source citations in an article are better than none and it helps other editors who come along and add sources later. If you’d like any help citing sources, just ask. The more you can do the better it is for the articles. Thanks Rus793 (talk) 12:28, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
