Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to University of Toronto Scarborough, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 04:54, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
- Hi there! I removed the content on purpose and apologize for forgetting an explanation. Thank you! Cyrel6 (talk) 05:24, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that one or more recent edit(s) you made did not have an edit summary. Collaboration among editors is fundamental to Wikipedia, and every edit should be explained by a clear edit summary, or by discussion on the Talk page. Please use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to describe what it changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief.
The edit summary field looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
or in the visual editor:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. When logged in to your Wikipedia account, you can give yourself a reminder by setting Preferences → Editing → 
Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary (or the default undo summary), and then click the "Save" button.

- Will do from now on. Thank you! Cyrel6 (talk) 18:57, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
Hi Cyrel6! I noticed that you recently made an edit and marked it as "minor", but it may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia: it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. asilvering (talk) 22:20, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry for the back-to-back warning messages. But do watch out for this one. Even something that's really quite a small change, like changing the number of students and providing a new source, isn't really a "minor" edit by our usual definition. -- asilvering (talk) 22:21, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of University of Toronto Department of Computer Science
[edit]Hello, RapidDweller,
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Bastun and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, University of Toronto Department of Computer Science, for deletion, because [consensus decision] previously decided that it wasn't suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If you wish to restore a page deleted via a deletion discussion, please use the deletion review process instead, rather than reposting the content of the page.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bastun}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

- Hello @Bastun:
- I’m somewhat new to editing, could you explain the reason for the speedy deletion nomination? I created the article in question from scratch so there has been no previous consensus regarding it.
- Is this based on a previously deleted article on the same topic?
- Thanks in advance for the clarification.
- RapidDweller (talk) 17:24, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, RapidDweller. Apologies, I don't know what happened to the link above in my original comment, but it should have pointed to this deletion discussion, where consensus was to delete the article. Based on the arguments presented then, there was nothing to indicate notability of the Computer Science Department; judging by the other talk page messages above from Article for Creation patrollers, that seems to also be the opinion regarding other schools and departments within the unversity. Is there any reason they all need their own articles, rather than just expanding the main UoT article? BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 19:49, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
- (Just to note, too, an admin has declined my 'speedy delete' request on the grounds that it's a substantially different article with better sourcing than the one that was deleted; I won't be nominating it for deletion again. ;-) BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 19:58, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
Hi there, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently requested that your sandbox draft article be moved to St. George Campus. While I have not declined the required page deletion, I wanted to suggest that you submit your draft article to be reviewed through Articles for Creation, where an experienced editor will provide feedback. At present, I'm concerned that your draft may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines because it is mostly sourced through primary sources, which do not establish notability. You may want to check out Wikipedia's guide to writing your first article. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:34, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and declined the page move request (I actually initially carried out the move to mainspace, but after seeing this talk page section, I decided to undo it). I agree with Significa liberdade's concern that the draft currently only includes references to primary sources (e.g. those affiliated with the university). In order to demonstrate notability, we need to see references to secondary sources that are independent of the subject, see WP:GNG. Mz7 (talk) 01:48, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
Your technical move request
[edit]
Hello RapidDweller, your recent request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests has been removed because it remained inactive for seventy-two hours after being contested. If you would like to proceed with your original request, please follow the directions at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial.
