Hello!

edit

Hello, and welcome! Thank you for your contributions. However, before you add any more text to the article George W. Bush, could I ask you to review our policy of having a neutral point of view and having verifiable and cited information? Unfortunately, your additions didn't fall under those, so I removed them. Please also see the talk page for more discussion. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:16, 16 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved.

AfD Nomination: Programmable beverage

edit

I've nominated the article Programmable beverage for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Programmable beverage satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Programmable beverage. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Programmable beverage during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 21:21, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I would like to respond to your vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Programmable beverage. You have said that "once fully commercially availabale", the concept of a programmable beverage "has the potential" to "virtually" etc. That is exactly why the article should be deleted. Wikipedia is not about inventions (or people, or teams, or companies, or anything else) that might one day become notable, provided the right circumstances are met. Wikipedia includes only that which is already verifiably notable. Aecis Appleknocker Flophouse 11:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm nominating this article for speedy deletion unless you can assert some notability in the article. I'll give you a few days to improve it. EdGl 17:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:POSTERforMartyrFINALCOPY02 27 07.pdf

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:POSTERforMartyrFINALCOPY02 27 07.pdf. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Psalm 96

edit

Psalm 96, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Psalm 96 satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Psalm 96 and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Psalm 96 during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. -- Jreferee (Talk) 19:42, 14 August 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Icjp button.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Icjp button.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Jon Denning

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jon Denning, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Denning.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Jon Denning

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Jon Denning requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

  Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Helen Thomas appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Uncle Dick (talk) 03:31, 6 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of David Fried

edit
 

The article David Fried has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Yet to find evidence of "significant press coverage" as required by the notability guidelines. If such coverage is found and cited, this article will not be deleted.

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Wikiacc () 10:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Michele Bachmann presidential campaign, 2012.

Hi. When you recently edited Trials and Tribble-ations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Enterprise (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:31, 29 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
