Hello, I'm MrX. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Kim Davis (county clerk) because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - MrX 18:15, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

Alice Lougee Hagemeyer

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alice Lougee Hagemeyer, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://womenoflibraryhistory.tumblr.com/post/113253914938/alice-lougee-hagemeyer.

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.)

I'm afraid that if you did write the text at that link then you will need to provide evidence of that by following these instructions. I've listed the article at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2015 October 26 to allow time for this to happen, but the article may be deleted if this isn't resolved. Hut 8.5 22:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

American Rhetoric

Please don't add material about the website American Rhetoric into Wikipedia articles. It is not a notable website and appears to be a self-published source. Kaldari (talk) 17:18, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

De-orphaning

Hi. I saw some of your created articles were Orphans. Now, I’ve de-orphaned two by making internal links to Lois Gibson (who claimed to have identified some people at the V-J Day in Times Square-picture) and Martha Boaz, as the 1974-Beta Phi Mu Award-winner. I like doing that, but maybe you can see if you can do it yourself as well. After all, by doing that, I discovered things which were not mentioned in the article, which is always interesting.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alice Lougee Hagemeyer

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 Alice Lougee Hagemeyer 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://historytrendsanddeafeducation.pbworks.com/w/page/18570477/Alice%20Hagemeyer. 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 or other printed material 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright problem: Vicki Garvin

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Vicki Garvin, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://panafricannews.blogspot.com/2007/10/vicki-ama-garvin-1915-2007-organizer.html, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Vicki Garvin and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Vicki Garvin, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Vicki Garvin. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the material is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Talk:Vicki Garvin with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Vicki Garvin saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

I've also blanked and listed Ruth Rappaport for the same reason. In case it is not by now completely clear to you: everything you write in Wikipedia (with rare exceptions) must be entirely in your own words. You can use the facts, concepts and ideas from other sources (as long as they are cited), but you may not use the form of expression, the actual words, of the source. If you have questions and ask them here, I will see that you have done so. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:06, 23 November 2015 (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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:09, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

LabourList

Hi, since you were interested in Barbara Ayrton-Gould: this might be an interesting source. I'v already used it in the political career-part; maybe it can be useful in the Suffragette-part as well. And maybe other entries at LabourList can be useful for your edits too. Best regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 22:09, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

Cyberfeminism and Bisexuality

Hi. I can't find Cyberfeminism and Bisexuality. Is it a reliable source? KateWishing (talk) 16:57, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

• Yes; it was just published so should be on Google Books in a few weeks. GrecianEarn (talk) 17:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Sisterhood Is Forever: The Women's Anthology for a New Millennium

Hi, and thanks for starting this article. Unfortunately, Wikipedia already had an article on this book, under the title Sisterhood Is Forever. After taking a look at both articles, I think the existing article is better, as it contains slightly more content and more links to reviews. Your version included the chapter titles, but they're not really necessary in articles about books. However, if there is any content from your version of the article that you want to preserve, feel free to add it to Sisterhood Is Forever. And in future, before creating a new article, try to remember to check if we have an existing article on the subject first. Thanks for reading, and happy editing. Robofish (talk) 16:29, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sisterhood Is Global

The article Sisterhood Is Global has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all constructive 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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:47, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caitlyn Jenner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair. 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) 10:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

Richard O'Brien

Hey, just a little note if my last edit summary wasn't that clear (always hard with the space constraint). You're right that O'Brien self-describes as "between male and female" (or "70% man"), but I can't find a request anywhere for writers to use they pronouns. Googling Richard O'Brien pronouns for me brings up a couple of sites ([1], [2]) that suggest O'Brien uses male pronouns, so I think it's best that we stick with them unless we hear otherwise.

Copying within Wikipedia

Hello, GrecianEarn. :) I realize that you are currently retired, but needed to stop by in case you choose to resume editing and make sure you are aware of an aspect of our copyright policy related to copying content from one article to another.

Content on Wikipedia, like content published most places, is not public domain. It is released under a liberal free license, but one of the conditions of this license is attribution. If we copy Wikipedia content - here or elsewhere - without that attribution, we violate the terms of that license and hence void it.

I see that you've moved content between several articles, including Scientology and gender, which looks to have been compiled of content taken from various articles. The way we handle that mandatory attribution requirement is with a note in the edit summary and on the talk pages of both the article to which content is copied and the article from which it was taken. (What the edit summary should say and how to leave the note on the talk page are described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.) While I am not a lawyer, I follow this practice myself in the belief that doing so meets the attribution requirement and will protect me from copyright infringement claims from the authors of the original content. Moreover, it complies with Wikipedia policy. :)

I have fixed this copyright problem and am attempting to fix other such issues (such as in Biphobia). You can look in the articles' histories to see how this was done, if you have interest. If you copy content between pages in future, please be sure to follow the practices at WP:CWW. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:37, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

CCI Notice

Hello, GrecianEarn. This message is being sent to inform you that a request for a contributor copyright investigation has been filed at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions to Wikipedia in relation to Wikipedia's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:44, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
