Speedy deletion nomination of Cynthia Fielding
editIf 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 Cynthia Fielding, 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 is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
- 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.

PLEASE STOP SENDING ME THESE AUTOMATIC MESSAGES AND TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON
- Please READ the guidelines and policies linked in the above messages, they explain everything. Creating new articles is one of the most difficult things on WP. I would advice you first to get some experience by editing other articles and get a feel for how things work, before attempting article creation. Also, please note that if you want to communicate with a user, you put a note on their talk page, not their user page, and sign it with four tildes (~~~~) so that they know who send them a message. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 15:29, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Coming to England in the Late 70s
editIf 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 Coming to England in the Late 70s requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The haps
editHey, Cordy! I wanted to explain a bit about what's going on. What has happened is that your article on Cynthia Fielding was deleted. It was deleted because it met the A7 criteria for speedy deletion, which is Wikipedia jargon for "a person without an indication of significance or importance". The problem is notability. Notability, in a Wikipedia sense, generally means coverage in reliable sources; it's the minimum threshold that all subjects must meet to have an article on Wikipedia.
The idea here is that, on Wikipedia, we have no way of knowing whether a bit of information in a Wikipedia article is real or not unless it's been backed by a reliable source. This is the essence of our policy on verifiability, which is one of the core principles of Wikipedia. All non-obvious information (and ideally all information) on Wikipedia needs to be backed by a reliable source, and a subject that's not notable just doesn't have the coverage in reliable sources needed to write a verifiable article. Does that make sense?
Now, as to your article specifically, as an admin, I can restore it into your userspace for you to work on. It won't be a "real" article yet (it won't show up in searches, for example), but you'll be able to work on it at your leisure. When you're ready, you can have others look at it (usually through the Articles for creation process), and if it looks good, it can be turned into a real article. If you need help, a good place to ask is the Teahouse, which is a place for new users to ask any questions they like and get help in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. How does that sound? Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:24, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, that would be kind. I am not finding all these automatic messages about "Speedy Deletions Notice" make any sense. I would appreciate it if you did restore the article. I heard the poem this morning on the Today programme.
- Okay, I've done that; you can find your old article at User:Cordy Salazar/Cynthia Fielding. Remember, the key here is reliable sources. An article or write-up from the BBC would be pretty helpful in that respect. There are other things to consider, as well: you might want to take a look at the notability guidelines specifically for people and the guidelines about people known for a single event, and keep those in mind as you're writing. I'm sorry about all these links to long policy pages, and for the confusing automated notices; Wikipedia's grown a lot over the years. The list of policies tend to grow with time, and things like automated notices are necessary to keep up with the pace. Again, the Teahouse is a great place to ask questions about these things; you'll be answered by real people, and we try to be as friendly and easy-to-understand as possible. :) Good luck, and happy editing!

February 2013
editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Coming to England in the Late 70s, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 16:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
The article Coming to England in the Late 70s has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- non-notable poem, no references
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. IronGargoyle (talk) 16:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- You're not asking a question at the Teahouse, you're just re-posting in a different location a copyrighted poem which you have already been warned about. Please stop restoring copyrighted material or you will be blocked. IronGargoyle (talk) 17:14, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
- ok, I will put it back and I will ask a question too. happy now? Just leave me alone, ok!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cordy Salazar (talk • contribs) 17:15, 5 February 2013
- Hey, Cordy, IronGargoyle's right. The Teahouse is for questions, not for posts like that. Even if you ask a question along with it, it's still a copyright violation, and copyright policy applies everywhere, not just in the articles. The poem's copyright is owned by Ms. Fielding, and nobody can post it anywhere here unless she agrees to release it under the same license as Wikipedia (the Creative Commons Share-Alike license). Copyright's a pretty serious concern on Wikipedia, since it's one of the few thigns Wikipedia itself can get into legal trouble for, so we really will have to block you if you keep doing it. :( Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 17:18, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you again for explaining it. I appreciate you taking the time for explaining things. Iron Gargoyle has been so rude to me. Can you please block him/her to teach them a lesson? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cordy Salazar (talk • contribs) 17:20, 5 February 2013
- Sorry, but no, for two reasons. One, blocks here aren't supposed to be punishments; they're supposed to be ways to prevent ongoing damage to the encyclopedia. (This aspect of blocks tends to be flexible in practice, but not so flexible as to allow blocks "to teach a lesson"). Second, although he may have been a little terse, IronGargoyle was right; like I said, copyright concerns are pretty serious, and require quick action. As I mentioned above, Wikipedia is a very big place, and sometimes people have to be quick and concise, because there are a lot of new things always cropping up to keep up with.

Further reminder about signatures
editHello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. - You've already been reminded a number of times, but you are still posting messages without signatures. Please take note, and comply with Wikipedia's conventions. - David Biddulph (talk) 17:36, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Explanation
editThat userbox you were adding to people's pages, what was that about? You do realize that to claim he was involved in that murder can actually be considered libel, yes? Was it a reference to some stupid joke from somewhere, like calling Shia LaBeouf a "cannibal" because of the song? And why were you adding it to other people's pages without them having asked?
You're at serious risk of having your account blocked if you don't have a good explanation. DS (talk) 17:23, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello. Thank you for your message. I resent your suggestion that it is a "stupid joke" - I believe that there is serious evidence to this end and that the government is involved in a massive cover up, as they have done so before. Remember Watergate? WATERGATE IS LEGAL NOW.

I am still working my way around this enyclopedia and am finding myself in a struggle against the inertia of the state. I'm moving in genuine directions and trying to make people open their eyes. You can understand how important this is - for the history of America, culture, cancer, and us? Cordy Salazar (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
- Cordy, I have redacted your libelous assertions here, and given your history of making these assertions, I am removing your editing access to this talk page.
