Hello, Colesy99, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Ashley Bryant, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

The article Ashley Bryant has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. Sam 🎤 12:49, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The easiest way to start adding categories is to find a similar article and copy from that. Taking your areticle on Ashley Bryant try searching for Britis Decathlete. Top of the search is Daniel Awde. Using edit source copy the appropriate ones and paste to your page. Also, at the bottom of the edit pane is a box labelled insert. Click this and change it to Wiki markup. Here you will find a blank category template which you can use with a suitable inclusion. Hope this helps.Malcolma (talk) 19:09, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Power of 10 (athletics), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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. GregJackP Boomer! 18:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm HelenOnline. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Oscar Pistorius because it did not appear constructive.

Hi, I'm Mr. Guye. Colesy99, thanks for creating Jamie Shaul!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. WP:BLP articles ought to have more sources than this.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Mr. Guye (talk) 20:42, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! As you have no doubt noticed I have been reviewing/housekeeping your recent article submissions. It would save a lot of time if you could be sure to put links to other articles by placing terms such as "rugby league" and different teams' names in square brackets, like this: Daniel Smith (born 20 March 1993) is a professional [[rugby league]] player for [[Wakefield Trinity Wildcats]]. - which will appear on the site as "Daniel Smith (born 20 March 1993) is a professional rugby league player for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats." Also, please, please do consider adding categories at the time of creation, again, this will save time and make reviewing your articles go faster. Mabalu (talk) 21:48, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alex Foster (rugby league), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Craven Park (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
