Welcome!

Hello, Megvon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like George Bradt, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Acrimoney, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bestthinking.com/thinkers/norbvonnegut. 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. 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.)

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.

Acrimoney.com is a publication edited by Norb Vonnegut. Any similar content published by BestThinking.com, Huffington Post or Business Week is by permission of the author. Acrimoney was deleted erroneously. It does not infringe on any copyright.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Megvon (talkcontribs)
Looking at the site, I see it says that "Copyright © 2010 Best Thinking, Inc. and respective copyright owners. All rights reserved unless specifically stated otherwise." It doesn't say that this specific page is released under a copyright which we can accept - see our copyright policy. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:51, 29 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Norb Vonnegut

edit
 

The article Norb Vonnegut has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable author

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 15:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Acrimoney

Hi. Even if the copyright issue were resolved, this wouldn't have been an acceptable Wikipedia article, for several reasons - see Wikipedia is not a dictionary, Wikipedia does not document the usage of neologisms and WP:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.
