Welcome to Wikipedia

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your MSTEC article in the Newpage stream, gave it a peek, and added some basic categorization. One comment: the article name is not very illuminating; I don't think "MSTEC" will carry any meaning to most people browsing around. Why not move it to a page with the club name fully spelled out? Take care. Gosgood 11:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: Referencing question?

edit

In short, you cannot reference yourself, unless you have published your research in a reliable publication. Wikipedia:No original research has more information on this issue. In regards to references, please review Wikipedia:Citing sources for how it's done. There's more than one method and editors usually stick to the method they prefer. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 03:47, 7 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Corangamite CMA page

edit

I have been asked by the 10 CMA's in Victoria to make thses pages. How do I indicated this so they are not deleted?

Also, I work for the State gov down here in Victoria and we are about to make a whole lot of pages on our Department (DSE) Wil i have similar issues and how do I work around them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Louiseann76 (talkcontribs) 03:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi again,
I now understand where you come from. The reason why I tagged the article was because of this sentence: "Our role as manager of the Barwon through Geelong in particular provides an excellent platform to engage with thousands of people in Victoria’s largest regional city." so I imagine you took the text from a website... which is not referenced (see WP:CITE for some help on referencing articles).
The other page you worked on - Corangamite - is not written appropriately, and I will therefore put a wikify tag. Thanks for your efforts and I will try to help tomorrow... (it's getting late in Canada!!!).
Thanks, --ŦħęGɛя㎥ 03:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply


Thanks, I will try to fix them while you sleep! (the CCMA page, I thought I had gotten rid of the OUrs and We's, I must have missed that one. They wrote the text for me) Louiseann76 (talk) 03:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hiya Louiseann, thanks for your work on the Scottish Terrier article. One minor thing: I noticed you removed a reference for a dead link. I understand your rationale for doing this, but I thought you might like to know about this site for the future. [1] It's an internet archive database that stores old versions of webpages. You type the url of the dead link in, and it will hopefully come up with archived versions of pages. This can be used in place of the dead link (I have done this on the link that was removed on the St page). Sometimes pages can't be found on it, but in such cases it's probably best not to remove the reference unless another one can be found. Otherwise, if it's a fact that can be contested, an editor may come along and ask for a reference or remove the information. Even if the dead link remains with an accessdate etc, reviewers will know when the link last worked and it will be available in the page archives etc. Here's the wiki guidelines of what to do when a link goes dead Wikipedia:Citing sources#What to do when a reference link "goes dead". But great work anyway, and it's nice to see you working to improve that article :) GunGagdinMoan 12:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

North Central Catchment Management Authority

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of North Central Catchment Management Authority, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.nccma.vic.gov.au/What_We_Do/Our_Catchment/print.aspx?printView=true. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Speedy deletion of North East Catchment Management Authority

edit
 

A tag has been placed on North East Catchment Management Authority, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. mboverload@ 02:43, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
