Please don't rename articles simply to enforce Ukrainian language spelling. If in doubt, ask on the talk page first to gain a WP:CONSENSUS.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 17:15, 21 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Mental Demise

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mental Demise, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/mental-demise.

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 Mental Demise

edit
 

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 Mental Demise 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://www.metalmusicarchives.com/artist/mental-demise. 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. reddogsix (talk) 10:49, 25 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Kriukiv Railway Car Building Works

edit

Hello Pashko,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kriukiv Railway Car Building Works for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 09:37, 17 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Automotive industry in the Soviet Union

edit

Since you have disagreed with my words about your edits made in the article Automotive industry in the Soviet Union, I would like to clarify a few things on this page, in a hope that we will avoid misunderstanding. Please, keep in mind that my only wish is that the article aforementioned is well-written, supported with references, good photos and is correct in details.

  • 1. At first, there is no need to change all photos to those of the earliest models ever built, especially given the fact that Wikimedia Commons does not have a sufficient number of HD photos related to Soviet cars and that many of the cars enlisted were modified and modernized over the years of production, with different decorative elements being removed or added to their design, different export modifications being added to the lineup, etc., so you can't find, say, the “true and only” VAZ-2105 that was produced in 1979–2010, because in 1979–2010 this car was actually built in different versions. The GAZ-M21 had it exterior details changed over the years and was offered in different series, too, each having its unique chrome grilles and trims, so the Volga on this photo [1] (as well as any other) is not the same model that was built in 1956–1970. In fact, there were different Volgas such as these: [2] (this is not supposed to be a "reliable source" for the article, I'm merely providing an example). It is more important to provide high-quality photos of cars that are both recognisable and in good condition. Do not remove a photo (let alone entire paragraphs of sourced information) just because the car depicted is not one of the first models ever built.
  • 2. The GAZ-GL1 was actually built and set an All-Union speed record in September 1940, as is confirmed by “unreliable” sources such as the Za Rulem magazine (N. 8, April–May 2010, p. 42); a fact important enough for this sports car to be briefly mentioned in the article.
  • 3. I do not “delete” any cars at all; it seems likely that the GAZ-61 disappeared when one of your edits was reverted. I shall add this model to the article with the best photo I can find.
  • 4. The “cabrio version” is actually not much different from the original model and is still the same car. But I won't mind if it is mentioned as a different model along with the original ZiS. Eriba-Marduk (talk) 21:56, 23 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Automotive industry in Malaysia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Passenger car. 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.

Aeroprakt

Please don't change cited data, including name spellings in this article. All data is cited to reliable sources, including the company website, which shows that they use spellings like "Yuri", and "Aeroprakt Ooo", not "Yuriy" and "Aeroprakt LLC". To change these you must cite a new ref and per WP:V. - Ahunt (talk) 17:01, 4 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Skinhate

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 Skinhate requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.
