The Ideal Scout

Good job, creating The Ideal Scout. It was deserving of its own article, and doing so nicely cleaned up the R. Tait McKenzie article. BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 00:25, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Beach Bunny Swimwear

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 Beach Bunny Swimwear 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 an organization or company, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Talpatra (talk) 14:59, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

WHAT THE FUCK!!!

How dare you convert an article (Lotus throne) to the appalling sfn style, in total breach of WP:CITEVAR, without leaving any hint of of what you are doing in edit summaries. This is seriously bad behaviour, & you should be blocked. Johnbod (talk) 16:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Johnbod, I suggest you read up on WP:NPA. Your messages here and elsewhere are troubling; from what I can tel Evrik did what they felt was best for the article, which is perfectly acceptable. That you don't like it is not reason to insult them and threaten them with a block (which no admin would even consider anyway). Primefac (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

• I'm also puzzled as to what's so "appalling" about {{sfn}}. It gives linkage from the cites to the refs, for one thing. If you object to the use of years, then that's {{sfnp}} anyway, not {{sfn}}. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:35, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from vulgarity in the future, this is a bit rude and also not an effective way to express oneself. It is not nice to open a web page and see this kind of verbiage. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. Keep up the good work!! 172.250.237.36 (talk) 09:16, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Camp Lambec (June 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Missvain was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Hello. Unfortunately the sourcing here is mainly primary, associated with the subject (published by the Presbyterian church) or merely mentions Camp Lambec.

Until books, magazine articles, newspaper articles, television coverage, or radio features focus primarily on Camp Lambec, or it becomes listed on the National Register or the state register of historic places, at this time, this subject does not qualify for a Wikipedia article.

I hope you'll consider contributing to and improving content about existing Presbyterian church or park-related subjects on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please ask at WP:TEAHOUSE. Thank you!

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Inquiry About Adding Camp Minsi to the Historically Notable Scout Camps Page

Hi Evrik,

I'm the historian for Camp Minsi, a Scout camp in Pennsylvania, and I'd like to add it (or have it added) to the "Oldest Boy Scout Camps of the BSA" section of the Historically Notable Scout Camps page. However, I want to make sure it qualifies before making any changes. Are you the page owner? Camp Minsi has a long history but has moved locations a couple of times:

• Founded in 1919: Camp Minsi was originally established along the banks of the Delaware River at the Delaware Water Gap.
• First Move (1927): The original property was sold to another Scout council, forcing the camp to relocate to Lake Tobyhanna in the Poconos.
• Second Move (1949): The Lake Tobyhanna property was also sold. However, the owner donated another piece of land at Lake Stillwater, also in the Poconos. The camp opened on that site in 1950, initially on the southern shore of the lake.
• Current Facility (1957): The council raised funds to build the permanent camp facilities on the same property, which remain in use today.
• Despite these moves, the camp has always been operated by the same council, with the same staff, and served the same Scouts throughout its history. While the land we occupy now has been in use since 1950, Camp Minsi was founded in 1919 and has maintained continuous operation.

Given this history, does Camp Minsi qualify for inclusion on the list? I’d appreciate your thoughts or guidance before proceeding. Thank you! Tbroke72 (talk) 22:07, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities

Hello Evrik, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|GTrang}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Women in Green's 9th Edit-a-thon

Hello Evrik:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in October 2025!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2025, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event with the theme What Women Do! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 different occupations or professions (or broader roles in society) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
