Hallo Meee...
I see that you added a ((stub)) tag to XISAP.
Please remember that stub tags go at the end of the article, not the top - see WP:ORDER - and that they don't have a date parameter. It's also helpful to add them as "stub", small "s", not "Stub" - someone will come along to edit it into a "sorted" stub tag such as {[tl|software-stub)) and it saves a few keystrokes each time if the s is already small. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 14:38, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that it's best to provide the fewest number of the most specific possible tags. Placing too many tags on an article (like you did here, here) is occasionally referred to as "tag-bombing", and it is also sometimes seen to be disruptive.
One might say, although it's not a blatant violation of any policy, short articles like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - The Legend of Dead Kel (this version) don't really need as many as 8 tags.
Anyone who sees a tag, but does not see the purported problem with the article and does not see any detailed complaint on the talk page, may remove the tag. The essay Wikipedia:Responsible tagging includes a list of many commonly used tags as well as advice on when they may be appropriate.
Don't place a tag merely because it's technically permitted. Not every article needs a tag, even if the article could be expanded or improved. Use your best judgment and consider all of the facts and circumstances. If it's unclear, then skip it. I hope this helps. Mr T(Talk?) (New thread?) 09:09, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Martin Freeman, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or unpublished synthesis of previously published material. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 04:10, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
I had the same thought, except I was thinking that they should be merged into Flag_of_United_Arab_Emirates#Flag_of_each_emirate, tough I need to figure out how to recognize the target to be able to accept the flag articles. In my experience we almost never have a section for the flag/CoA in the main country/territory article, even if the flag/CoA article is a stub , compare Flag and coat of arms of Mayotte to Mayotte for example. I was surprised to find Fujairah#Flag, it seams to go against the common practice of the other country/territory articles. Fujairah#Flag should probably also be merged to Flag of United Arab Emirates.
I'm removing the PROD from them because what your really proposing is a merge, not a deletion, and one that target aside I agree with. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 17:15, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Merged to Flag_of_United_Arab_Emirates#Flag_of_each_emirate. Those new sections for the emirate flags, with the possible exception of Fujairah, are all stubs. Hopefully they will be expanded. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:40, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for keeping me informed Meeeeeeee39 (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Not eligible for CSD - the article was created before the user was blocked (and so there has been no violation). GiantSnowman 12:19, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I didn't know this, all I saw was that the user is blocked, thanks. Meeeeeeee39 (talk) 12:21, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I have removed the speedy deletion tag and the maintenance tags you added from Ed Miracle. Canoe1967 is serving a short term, 48 hours, block and this was created long before that block was imposed. The only time we deleted using the blocked/banned creator criterion is when an editor who has been blocked/banned and later comes back and creates an article, usually as a sockpuppet. Also there is no evidence that Canoe1967 is Ed Miracle so the autobiography tag does not make sense. The hoax tag did not make sense either since the information in the article is also in a CNN article, the article just paraphrases the information there. You also tagged it for needing additional citations, for an article with 3 sentences, 4 citations appears to be enough. GB fan 12:23, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
You are adding many incorrect tags to many pages. An article with multiple cites to a variety of sources and documented uses, such as Explainer video, are not hoaxes and (again by those variety of sources) not primary-sourced. And just looking at it, I see bluelinks, so it's not no-wikilinks. You appear to be making *many* mistakes like this. I recommend you slow down and do things manually and with greater care for a while--maybe the ease of a tagging tool is letting you be too hasty? DMacks (talk) 13:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I guess I'll take more care, and read over reviewed articles, and try to learn what other users have tagged them with. Oh, and thanks for the WP:ADOPT advice, there's still a lot I don't know about Wikipedia, and I didn't know that this existed. Meeeeeeee39 (talk) 06:56, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you proposed the article Stelios Ioannou for deletion on the grounds that it was "far too short to be an article of a living person." Please note that article length is not by itself a valid rationale for deletion. There is no minimum length for any Wikipedia article, so long as the content on the article establishes how and why the subject meets the notability criteria and its content is verifiable. Additionally, the Ioannou article was discussed at Articles for deletion (AfD) two months ago, which means that it is permanently ineligible for deletion under the proposed deletion policy (it may still go back to AfD).
I see that another user above has advised you to refrain from nominating articles for deletion in the near future. I agree with that counsel. Please have a look over the deletion policy and the alternatives to deletion. Deleting articles should be a last resort after other options such as merging, redirecting, or reverting are considered. Also please look over the criteria for speedy deletion, as well as the policy on proposed deletion and the 3-step process at Articles for deletion.
I realize I've just asked you to look over a lot of information. I've been nominating articles and pages for deletion on Wikipedia for several years now and I still don't get it right 100% of the time, so don't fret too much. If you ever have a question about whether an article merits deletion feel free to ask me. Cheers, —KuyaBriBriTalk 16:58, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello Meeeeeeee39. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Richard Taylor (Unionist)".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply ((db-afc))
or ((db-g13))
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: ((subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richard Taylor (Unionist)))
, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 20:01, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
