editWelcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, an article you recently created, Watchables, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Real96 06:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, this article will be deleted due to notability issues. Real96 06:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Watchables, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template . Morenooso 06:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Watchimals article, but 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.
Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."
You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Real96 07:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

- (in response to copyright violation) i believe i did write the article in my own words - nothing is taken directly from either of my two sources...so, i'm not sure i understand...

(reduce indent) The slogan was copyrighted, and some of the words were copyrighted. I had to rewrite almost the entire article in order for copyright from this website not to be violated. Real96 08:22, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
