Archaeological and Anthropological Society of Victoria

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Archaeological and Anthropological Society of Victoria, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://home.vicnet.net.au/~aasv/history.htm.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Joshua Thomas Noble (Noble) Anderson

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 Joshua Thomas Noble (Noble) Anderson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Evaders99 (talk) 09:36, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy removed: he's entirely notable. Thanks for the excellent article! Gurt Posh (talk) 18:19, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

I cant see why this article would have been for speedy deleting - Anderson is an important Australian engineer and the article says why and is referenced.

Speedy deletion nomination of William Snell Chauncy

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 William Snell Chauncy 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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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.

Removing Speedy at William Snell Chauncy

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from William Snell Chauncy, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then 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 look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:12, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with William Snell Chauncy.

I replaced the whole of the original text as it was saved in the article by mistake - and the speedy deletion tag went with it unfortunately.

a better section is in place and is in the course of being further edited.

Photo of James Moore

Hi there, I saw that you requested a photo of James Moore in the info box. I've found two on the State Library of Victoria website, both are public domain. They are available here (top two entries) I thought as it was mainly your project I'd let you choose (I'm also not sure that it's the right James Moore). Hope I've been of help to you. Liamdavies (talk) 05:51, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks Liam, there were a couple of other James Moores - a building material supplier and a bishop. so I might need to do a bit of research to see if these pics are of my railway engineer - at least one seems to be the right period at least. all the best.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Sunbury, Victoria, 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. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 05:44, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

==Aboriginal history of Sunbury== I was perhaps a bit eager to add my bit on Sunbury's Aboriginal history - I propose the following with appropriate references included -"The Sunbury area has several important Aboriginal archaeological sites, including five earth rings, which were identified in the 1970s and 80s, and believed to have been used for ceremonial gatherings. Records of corroborees and other large gatherings during early settlement attest to the imporatance of the area for Aboriginal people of the Wurundjeri tribe. " Posted to MelbourneStar Talk page also. Garyvines (talk) 06:08, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I had replied on the articles talk page - saying that it could be added. Thank you :) -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 06:16, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Hi. In Aboriginal sites of Victoria, you recently added links to the disambiguation pages Stawell and Seal Point (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. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

William Thwaites

You have written quite an interesting article. You have a source in every paragraph and it is long enough; I think your next step should be to nominate it for WP:DYK, (do it at WP:DYK/N).

I've also blocked the latest re-incarnation and undone all its edits that hadn't already been reverted by other users. If you see a similar problem in the future, please alert me. By the way, to create a category link, put a colon after the two opening brackets like [[:Category:Australian people of Jewish descent]]. Before I added the colon to your message, the software put User talk:ROXETTE88 in Category:Australian people of Jewish descent, which is not desirable behaviour at all.

Hello Garyvines, you've created a lot of valid and good articles [1] and I don't think it is necessary to 'patrol' your page creations. Would you mind if I change your user rights to autopatrolled? Thanks for your great contributions :) --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 08:33, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

thanks Vejvančický, I am happy for you to change your user rights to autopatrolled. I had some trouble with some earlier articles from too close paraphrasing of sources, but now seem to have sorted this in my sandbox first.
