  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I've noticed that you've been adding your signature to some of your article contributions. This is a simple mistake to make and is easy to correct. For future reference, the need to associate edits with users is taken care of by an article's edit history. Therefore, you should use your signature only when contributing to talk pages, the Village Pump, or other such discussion pages. For a better understanding of what distinguishes articles from these type of pages, please see What is an article?. Again, thanks for contributing, and enjoy your Wikipedia experience! Thank you.

Youngest ever comment

edit

G'day, nice work in starting the Bertie Cooper article, but I found a reference saying that he was born in 1893, unless you find a reliable source that says otherwise, we can't change it. Are you related to Cooper or have some insider knowledge that suggests the WAFL list and/or the military death notice are wrong? I wouldn't have thought he would not have needed to inflate his age to join the army, as he would have been over 18 when the war started even if he was born in 1896. This link also makes no mention of him. If you need any help, please either reply or post a message on my talk page. Cheers, The-Pope (talk) 03:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply


The WA government has a Pioneers List in which you can search for birth, marriage and death information from the early years of WA. Do a birth search for Bertie Cooper and it clearly shows 1892 as the year of registration of his birth. The-Pope (talk) 09:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
The SFFC record must be wrong. A search for births with surname Cooper between 1890 and 1899 at the WA Pioneer List shows a Bertie Frederick Cooper with father George and mother Emma was registered at Fremantle in 1892. His armed forces death record has his age as 23 and 6 months when he was killed in 1916, and also matches the names of his parents from the birth registration. There is a list of young players at the WAFL, and Cooper isn't listed in that list (with 15 being the youngest player to ever play WAFL). There is simply no RELIABLE evidence that he was born in 1896, and LOTS of reliable, correlating evidence that he was born in 1892. So please stop changing it.

Speedy deletion of "Cuzez"

edit

A page you created, Cuzez, has been tagged for deletion in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:

No indication of importance/significance. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you Ckatzchatspy 09:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Cuzez do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: 'youtube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/cuzez123) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 09:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

 

The recent edit you made to Cuzez constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Mdebets (talk) 11:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC))Reply

Notability of Cuzez123

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Cuzez123 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CultureDrone (talk) 13:47, 20 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
