Sieg Heil Viktoria

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sieg Heil Viktoria, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.axishistory.com/index.php?id=467.

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. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sieg Heil Viktoria

A tag has been placed on Sieg Heil Viktoria 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.

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, 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

History of Madagascar

Hi Gotipe, Thanks for contributing to the history of Madagascar page. It's an article that needs lots of attention and while it's on my radar, it's still a bit far down on my list and I appreciate seeing someone else take some interest in it. That being said, much of the content is unsupported. Some of it looks like it may be too close to source language (i.e. copyright violation). As it is now, there is a strong emphasis on the Austronesian immigrations and subsequent migrations but not much discussion about the actual history of the people living on the island - what they did, how they lived, and why. Are you planning on adding references to substantiate your changes? It's become a bit confusing because you've added new information where an old citation exists, so it's a bit misleading because that gives the impression that the new information you included is substantiated by the old citation. I encourage you to keep with your edits but be sure to add the citations with page numbers and expand further on the aspects of the article not related to the migrations to the island. Also, this distinction between Vezo and Vazimba is one I haven't seen argued in any other source materials. Traditionally it's argued that the Vazimba who were pushed out of the Highlands settled on the coast where they took the name Vezo. So that's why including your references is important - much of the early history of Madagascar is not factually known but rather part of oral history and there are conflicting accounts, so we need to be careful not to present original research or state theories as facts.

Apologies, I see you weren't the one who made the edits I was referring to. Sorry about that! Lemurbaby (talk) 10:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
