Speedy deletion nomination of Marcy Winograd

A tag has been placed on Marcy Winograd, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. 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. I42 (talk) 21:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

• I have deleted the article because in its present form it was fairly blatantly a campaign poster, contrary to our principle that Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion, and showed no notability apart from being a political candidate, which under WP:POLITICIAN does not itself confer notability. The point of both these rules is that as an anyone-can-edit encyclopedia, Wikipedia is extremely vulnerable to being used for advertising, campaigning, promotion of all sorts, and could very easily degenerate into a a sort of super-Myspace. The answer to your question on the talk page is that if you can write an article which shows that independent of her candidacy she meets the notability requirements, which require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and press releases), then you could put in an article, but you would have to take great care that it was in no way promotional. There is more about notability in WP:Notability (people), and good general advice about writing articles in WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 23:02, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Spinohypothalamic tract

If 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 Spinohypothalamic tract 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 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Dimple sign, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 23:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Your post on my talk page

I didn't reply because I was on a break, and your post was archived. Probably ok now, but as I said, we never link to YouTube videos if they aren't explicitly copyright free. He is a good example of course, this cultural Marxism stuff is just more.... Dougweller (talk) 14:39, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to TIMI may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 1 "[]"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:06, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
