Hi North Station! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!
Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 22:03, 17 April 2017 (UTC) |
Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 01:01, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
I have recently created this Wikipedia account while my IP address was blocked for persistent addition of unsourced material because I was eager to make positive contributions to Wikipedia by correcting minor errors and adding information. I sincerely regret my actions, and I promise to follow Wikipedia's guidelines in future and source all material that I add when I can. If you do not feel that I am ready to be unblocked, I respectfully ask if it is possible for an expiration time to be placed upon my block, and I will not make any further edits until this time.
Decline reason:
Your disruptive behavior has been going on for well over a year, so there's no way we're going to let the block expire automatically. Please consider WP:Standard offer, which, among other things, will require you to refrain from editing this Wikipedia for at least 6 months. No socks, IP or otherwise! Favonian (talk) 09:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Note
While you are blocked, you may only use your talk page for constructive unblock requests. Favonian (talk) 20:17, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
Born Levy Isaac Attias on 23 September 1923 in Gibraltar to Jewish parents, he and his family were evacuated to England during World War II. On returning home, he worked in different jobs, including as an extra in films shot in Gilbraltar, and while appearing in the British film Wonderful Things! (1958), the actor Frankie Vaughan persuaded him to travel to London and become an actor, which he did in 1962, changing his name to Ricardo Montez. He appeared primarily in television programmes, including The Saint, The Avengers, Doctor at Sea and Don't Drink the Water, in which he usually played Spanish characters, before being cast in his best known role as Juan Cervantes, the Spanish bartender in a class of mature English language students, in the situation comedy series Mind Your Language from 1977 and 1979, reprising his role in a revival of the series in 1986. In his later years, Montez continued to appear on television in programmes including Sharpe's Honour and Casualty, as well as commercials. His final acting role was in the film Mamma Mia! (2008). He lived in Richmond, London, and used to visit Gibraltar twice a year. He married Orivida Hatchwell in 1953; they had a daughter, Clara, and a granddaughter, Sara. Montez died from cancer at his daughter's home in Marbella, Spain on 26 October 2010, at the age of 87.[1][2]>[3]

Request reason:
As recommended by Favonian, I looked at the WP:Standard offer and found the {{2nd chance}} procedure, which I decided to undergo. Submitted above is a significant edit to the article Ricardo Montez, containing extra information for which I have provided a reliable source that follows the two existing sources; you can compare the material that I have added with the actual article, which remains as it was before I copied the prose which I have edited here. My aim on Wikipedia is to add accurate information that is reliably sourced in order to improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, and I hope that this provides an example of the kind of contributions that I hope to make, should you choose to unblock me.
Decline reason:
WP:SO requires six months with no edits. You are nowhere near that. Yamla (talk) 16:17, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

- Do you realize that every time you evade your block by 1) creating a new account or 2) editing via an IP (like you did yesterday) the clock is reset on the minimum six months required to meet the requirements of the standard offer?--Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 22:42, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Early life
[edit]Frederick Kerr was born Frederick Grinham Keen on 11 October 1858 in London, the elder son of Grinham Keen, a solicitor. He was educated at Charterhouse School before going up to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, where he read law. After graduating from Cambridge in 1880, he enrolled at the Inner Temple with the intention of becoming a barrister, but left shortly afterwards to pursue a career as an actor.[1][2]

Theatre career
[edit]He went to New York City in 1880 and worked as a sketch artist, when sheer chance turned him into an actor. He was living in a boarding house on 7th Avenue, where a number of theatrical people also lived, among them Henry Miller, who eventually became his manager. Osmond Tearle, an actor living there, heard from his own producer that an Englishman was needed for a production of The School for Scandal. Tearle recruited Frederick, who got the part in January 1882 (which is also likely the moment he took the stage surname of "Kerr"). He appeared in several more plays in New York City that year, but left for Britain to appear in a London play in December 1882, after which he joined the company at the Royal Court Theatre managed by John Clayton and Arthur Cecil. Over the next fifty years, he travelled back and forth across the Atlantic several times for theatrical work both in New York City and in London.[1][2]

Kerr became actor-manager of the Vaudeville Theatre in London in 1895[1] and later managed the Royal Court Theatre.[2] He starred in Public Opinion at Wyndham's Theatre in 1905 and also as the titular pirate in George Bernard Shaw's Captain Brassbound's Conversion at the Court Theatre in 1906.[3]

Your username
[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "North Station", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Snuggums (talk / edits) 02:46, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
I created my user name simply by combining two random words together. I am unaware of any organisation or other corporate entity named North Station, and therefore, I do not believe that my username violates Wikipedia’s policy. 21:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- There is North Station as well as the entries listed at North Station (disambiguation) that come to kind, which made me think you could be affiliated with one or more of them. Sorry if that's not the case, but I recommend changing your username either way so others don't worry about potential username violations. Snuggums (talk / edits) 21:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

I saw your recent additions to David Ogden Stiers. If you review the discussions at Talk:David Ogden Stiers, you will see that this specific material was much discussed, including going through the Request For Comment phase, and that the decision was made not to include it. While there has been some technical change in circumstances (in that he's now been dead long enough that the Biographies of Living Persons policies no longer apply), the material was contentious enough that it should not be readded without consensus. As such, I am undoing your additions; please do not re-add the material without first re-starting discussion on the talk page and reaching consensus. --Nat Gertler (talk) 20:18, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Removing Red Links
[edit]Hello, I've noticed you've been removing a lot of re links. Please don't do that. The red link guideline says, 'Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject, or if the red link could be replaced with a link to an article section where the subject is covered as part of a broader topic'.
Sometimes a red link is the result of a typo, and those should be fixed. Sometimes they're the product of an alternate spelling; this often happens with names transliterated from languages with different writing systems such as Arabic and Chinese. If the alternate spelling is one that exists other places (in other words, it might reasonably be used by someone looking for the article), then you can create a redirect from it to the article we have; it doesn't necessarily have to be changed. Sometimes I find that there's an article about a red-linked topic in another language (or several), and I add an interlanguage link to it if I think it will help our readers. If I really think that there's no chance of the link becoming an article, then I'll remove it. Most often, I leave them alone. SnazzyInfinity - Chat? 19:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Religion categories
[edit]Hi. I reverted your edit to Cyril Cusack. Religion categories are not intended to be catalogues of every adherent of a religion (or lack of one), for very good reason. WP:CAT/R and WP:BLPCAT are the applicable guidelines and policies, and the description of the Irish Roman Catholics page is also clear. Essentially, notability must derive in some part from a person's membership of a religion (or lack of one) in order to be included; it's not enough just to be a Catholic (or Muslim, or Jew, or atheist), one must have some notability because of it. Otherwise, Irish Roman Catholic cat could be applied to over 90% of Irish BLPs, rendering it meaningless. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 12:56, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

[edit]There is no need to "correct" links as you did here. In fact the practice is discouraged, please see WP:NOTBROKEN. DuncanHill (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
Stop please!
[edit]Please stop "correcting" links which do not need to be corrected. It is disruptive. You have already been asked to read and abide by WP:NOTBROKEN, I am asking you again so to do. DuncanHill (talk) 14:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
Third reminder re NOTBROKEN
[edit]User:DuncanHill has politely advised you twice to stop "fixing" redirect links, per WP:NOTBROKEN, but you have continued to do so, e.g. this edit at Oscar Wilde today. Seriously, please stop. I doubt the next person who sees you doing this will be generous enough to give you a fourth warning rather than taking it straight to ANI. Colin M (talk) 23:03, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at John Boyne, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 14:37, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
Information without citations
[edit]Good morning, I've had to remove some information you added to James Marquand for a second time as it was not supported by citations (per WP:USI). I tried to be generous leaving information for which a citation possibly could be added. If you add anything else to this page, please consider adding inline citations to support you additions. And feel free at add inline citations to the information which I left up. This is especially important for biographies of living people (per WP:BLP). --Duria-Antiquor (talk) 10:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Seán Pádraig Ó Ríordáin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.dib.ie/biography/o-riordain-sean-padraig-a6432. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. CNMall41 (talk) 19:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
