First of all no need to call me a douche. It just makes you look like a douche since you clearly do not know that every wikipedia page needs a reference. No reference, I add the unref tag. Simple as that. Don't give excuses like a page doesn't need one. Every page needs one. I only saw that page, I am not going to analyze every single one of the articles you made. If other articles you made have no references, you better add a ref on them as well. Second of all yes, that link you gave me could be added. So add it and be done with it. Next time consider being nicer to other wikipedians as we all mean no harm and in fact just want to help. Cheers. Calaka (talk) 02:00, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Listen. I welcome all new contributions. In fact I applaud you for adding the articles on the African championships! I am very happy for them I truly am and I am glad you came around here on Wikipedia with good intentions! But calling me a douche was not nice and there was no need for it. Furthermore I am tagging the articles to be helpful, not to put you down. Tags do not mean the article is bad (and I did not critique you in any way), it is a reminder for the article needs work to ensure that the article stays and does not get deleted. What would you have preferred, if I added a tag that requires the article get deleted (trust me, everyone on Wikipedia hates an article that doesn't have a reference and would rather it get deleted than stay there). The unref tag is there to ensure that the article doesn't get deleted and gives the author (i.e. you) a reminder to go around and eventually add the reference.

In addition to this why do you think I (along with everyone else!) want a reference? How do I know you are not making it all up? How do I know if there even was such an African championship in 1968 for example? There are a lot of people that vandalise wikipedia and write incorrect information to get a laugh out of it. This doesn't look good on Wikipedia. Hence a reference (that proves what you add to wikipedia is true) ensures that you are legitimate and mean well for Wikipedia.

Also just because there was "no internet" in the 1970's doesn't mean there wont be references for the subject. (Second hand sources are fine!)

Finally you say you want me to add the reference. Before you gave me that link I would not have known where to begin. I have never heard of the championship before you added it on Wikipedia so there would have been no place to begin.

I hope you stay on Wikipedia and continue to improve it. Do not accuse me of not contributing to Wikipedia. You know nothing about me if you say such a statement. I am not the best Wikipedian out there (far from it) but every single individual that contributes to this site (in any way) matters. Even you. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 04:43, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well first of all, thank you for putting up the ref.

Secondly please have a look at these: Cortisporin - Geniculum - Acute prostatitis - Anterior Spinal Syndrome - Central cord Syndrome - Somatoparaphrenia - Reproductive tract infection - Paratonia - Paraphasia - Twenty nail dystrophy - Genital ulcer - Geschwind syndrome - CDC28 protein kinase - Protease-sparing regimen - Treatment IND - Acrodysostosis - Alveolar hydatid disease - Environmental dependence syndrome - Motion blindness - Motion induced blindness - Perforated ulcer - self-inflicted wound - Ablepharon macrostomia syndrome - Axel Holst - Zimmerman-Laband syndrome - Rosselli-Gulienetti syndrome - Zunich-Kaye syndrome - Zazam Sheriff Phillips syndrome - Zonular cataract and nystagmus - Zori Stalker Williams syndrome - Yunis-Varon syndrome- 3m syndrome - 3c syndrome - Renal dysplasia-limb defects syndrome - Ulerythema - Umbilical cord ulceration and intestinal atresia - Uncombable hair syndrome - Upington disease - Urban-Rogers-Meyer syndrome - Yusho Disease - Young's syndrome - Young Simpson syndrome - Yves Brunsvick - Roger Cousinet - Jan Władysław Dawid - Adolphe Ferrière

Really? You found no contributions? Click on some of the above (search the ones that are not directly linked, I can't be bothered linking all of them) and have a look at their history and tell me that I made no contributions to Wikipedia.

I will ask you again: Please do not accuse me (or anyone else for that matter) of not contributing to Wikipedia. Frankly I do not care what you say but if you say those kinds of things to other people that are a bit more sensitive on Wikipedia they will get offended and leave (and never come back). Wikipedias greatest resource is volunteers (like you and me). So do not insult others and accuse them of things when we need them in order to build and build this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Do not take this personal dude! The articles are not owned by you (just started by you!). I didn't pick your article because I saw you and thought... HMMMMM I WILL PICK ON THIS NEWB... I just saw it come up on the list of new articles created, it didn't have a ref so I added a tag to say that one was needed. That is also the point. There are many other articles out there that do not have a ref. We can't see everything! I only have one pair of eyes and I have a life outside of wikipedia! I just happened to see your one because as I said you happened to created it at the point of time when I was looking. Hence your douche claims are unsubstantiated. ;)

Therein lies the rub with regards to refs though. No refs... article won't stay (assuming someone notices it... it just so happened no one noticed the 2003 article you mentioned for 2 years!). Every wikipedia article needs a ref. Ask any random wikipedian about it and he will tell you the same thing.

So please let's leave it at that. Sorry to make your first few days at Wikipedia problematic (unintentionally mind you!!). I wish you the best with your articles. Later. Calaka (talk) 06:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Using FIBA archive as a reference

Hello Bds, I think it's fine to use the FIBA online archive as a primary-source reference. If that's what you're doing, you should let people know where the information comes from by listing the website under "References" instead of "External links". See, for example, this edit. Thanks, Melchoir (talk) 01:44, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Lucca Staiger

A tag has been placed on Lucca Staiger 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thanks Snigbrook for stepping in and removing this tag. Of all the articles I have created, this seems like one of the least likely articles to qualify for speedy deletion. Apparently starting for an NCAA Division I team and playing on the #7 ranked national basketball team in the world is not "notable" to this guy. Subjectively, I'm sure Mblumber doesn't care too much about him, but objectively, I don't see how the foregoing isn't notable.

New BLP stubs

Please help and add tags on talk pages of the stubs you create:

WP Indonesia|class=stub|importance=low
WPBiography|living=yes

(within the curly brackets please)

It would be appreciated if you could help when creating new stubs to do that - thanks Satu Suro 15:10, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

cheers - hope that makes sense! happy new year as well Satu Suro 15:13, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry

for my vandalism. I thought that overall goal difference is tiebreaker when groups are not completed :-). Than I saw official stats document... I know that tiebreaker after completion of group stage are matches between the teams in question, goal difference between them etc. --CZMajkl (talk) 00:33, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:53, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(Metro News) Lim padlocks suspected prostitution front in Manila

June 20, 2010 12:57 pm

MANILA, June 19 –Mayor Alfredo S. Lim has ordered the immediate closure of a bar in Malate, Manila after over 200 women, including 17 minors, were rounded up on reports that the establishment was a front of prostitution.

Lim’s order was based on a recommendation made by Manila Department of Social Welfare (DSW) chief Jay dela Fuente, who said that the minors, aged between 16 and 17, remained under the custody of the DSW.

Ordered closed was the L.A. Café located at the corner of M.H. Del Pilar and Salas Streets in Malate, Manila including its annex just across the street.

Earlier, a foreign-based group called the International Justice Mission (IJM) wrote Lim, complaining about the operations of the L.A. Café, which reportedly was very much into prostitution, catering to foreign customers and which employed even minors.

In response, Lim ordered his chief of staff Ric de Guzman to coordinate with the Manila Police District and the Department of Justice, through the chief of its anti-human trafficking unit, Supt. Jess Kabigting, to verify the complaint.

A subsequent surveillance confirmed that the establishment was involved in the flesh trade.

The raid conducted by an inter-agency team rounded up over 200 persons, including those who were suspected to be working as pimps.

The raiding team was composed of representatives from the MDSW, MPD, labor department, IJM and the DOJ.

Dela Fuente, meanwhile, said that charges for violation of Republic Act 9208, or qualified human trafficking, and Republic Act 7610 or anti-child abuse law were filed against the managers identified as Emelinda Viray, Rodalyn Taja and Grace Perez; supervisor Lilia Montanilla and Carla Serrano and Nora Abellosa, who were suspected to be working there as pimps.
