A tag has been placed on :Valerie Sutton, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, File:Speedy delete contest button.svg. Clicking that button 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 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. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.Category:User talk pages with Spam-warn notices NewJerseyLiz ^{Let's Talk} 13:59, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites you to join us for our next DC WikiSalon, which will be held on the evening of Wednesday, August 24 at our K Street office.

The WikiSalon an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss the Wikimedia projects and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own. Light refreshments will be provided.

We look forward to seeing you there! Kirill ^[talk] 12:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. The only sources were closely associated with her, and, even so, two of three referenced her family and where she has lived, hardly a claim for notability.
• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of claims lacking independent sources but presented as fact include: Over the next two years she applied her system to recording the historic ballet steps ... which were in danger of being forgotten... as Sutton improved her system... by special invitation... came to the attention of sign language researchers... they asked for a demonstration... it has been used for writing not only... Sutton has continually worked to improve her notation systems and now leads... It's basically a fan page, not an encyclopaedia article.
• What I do not see is any independent commentary or criticism of her system, any indication of what makes it notable—as it reads, we have no independent (or otherwise) indication of how widely the system is used (could be a couple of dozen people for all we are told).
• :Image:Valerie Sutton in 1985.jpg appears to be a copyright violation. Copyrighted text and images are not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the image is public domain. There is no indication that that is the case, and no OTRS from the photographer or the organisation releasing the image. There are ways to donate copyrighted text or images to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

If you think you can fix the problems, I can sandbox the text for you to work on, let me know Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

:The image was not a reason for deletion, I was just making the point that it shouldn't be used.

:"came to the attention of sign language researchers" is promotional if there is nothing to support to support the claim and these "researchers" are not identified. It's like me saying that several heads of state admire my work on Wikipedia. Vague and unsourced. Same with the other claims

:She may well be notable, but none of the refs you have now produced were in the article. It's for the creator of the article to make sure it's properly sourced

:I've already made the offer to userfy the article for you to improve, that still stands. If you can't see the problems or have a conflict of interest, you could, if you wish, alternatively post a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles for the article to be created. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:59, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

::I've just noticed all the archives at the top of the page, my apologies for talking as if you were a newbie or conflicted editor. I'll post the text here shortly. Usually I offer to check before it's reposted, but I'm sure that won't be required here. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:12, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on novwiki, where you are an administrator. Since that wiki does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at :m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on :m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Best regards, Rschen7754 19:53, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

==Your administrator status on the Novial Wikipedia==

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on the wiki listed above. Since that wiki does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at :m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.

If you wish to resign your rights, you can reply here or request removal of your rights on Meta.

If there is no response at all after approximately one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Hello, BRG. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "Valerie Sutton".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply {{edit|Draft:Valerie Sutton|edit the submission}} and remove the {{tlc|db-afc}} or {{tlc|db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:31, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

My proposal to make extensive changes to WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older was a bust, primarily because many users felt that the term "Senior Wikipedian" implied a higher ranking Wikipedia membership. Therefore, I am making two less ambitious proposals:

:Proposal #1. Change the name of "WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older" to "WikiProject Elder Wikipedians".

:Proposal #2. Drop the minimum age requirement to 60 years.

Please respond to Elder Wikipedians and let us know what you think of each of these proposals.

Non-notable location that appears to just be a rural church. No information about a community of Bloomingdale could be found; however, Wake Forest maintains an archive of church documents: [https://wakespace.lib.wfu.edu/handle/10339/91127]; in this collection, a newspaper article from 1990 does use the word "community" but in an ambiguous way (possibly referring to the congregation, rather than any recognized place). Other than this, it appears to just be a church that somehow became a spot on a map beginning in 1953: [https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/#15/34.4409/-79.0203]. Fails WP:GEOLAND.
