Proposed deletion of Corellian Tiger
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Corellian Tiger, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- this is a hoax - the references are false, searches find no confirmation - see talk.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

License tagging for File:The Falling.JPG
editThanks for uploading File:The Falling.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:06, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Hate List, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780316041447.
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.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:18, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
Your rationale for the image says it's the cover art for the film; the article's infobox says this is a poster of the film. There's a license for posters and a license for video covers--knowing what this is will make a difference in the license you choose. We hope (talk) 22:24, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
The deletion of an article you created, Red Kayak, has been proposed for the following reason:
- No sources for verifiability.
You are welcome to improve the article to meet Wikipedia's quality standards and remove the deletion notice from the article. You may also remove the notice if you disagree with the deletion, though in such cases, further discussion may take place at Articles for deletion, and the article may still be deleted if there is a consensus to do so.
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 may wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. My76Strat talk 23:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:The_Hate_List.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:The_Hate_List.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 05:19, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
Your new article The Falling
editI see that you recently created the new article The Falling. The image you uploaded greatly improves the article. However, I also noticed that the article contains some errors. The article does not contain in-line citations, and so doesn’t follow Wikipedia style guidelines. As you know, Wikipedia is not just an "encyclopedia", it's a "community" as well and there will always be resources to help you along your way. Jipinghe (talk) 22:44, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
Sorry!
editI wasn't here when you needed help, but I see that you did get the poster on the page. :-) After you work with the different infoboxes for a while, you'll see that you don't add images in them all the same way. Some have to have the entire file or image name added, some only need part of it and others have to be added to some infoboxes just as you add images to a page in brackets. When you get stuck, try one of the others--remember that you can preview the page until you get the image up. HTH! We hope (talk) 00:48, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The Hate List
editIf 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 The Hate List, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. RadioFan (talk) 15:04, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
- That article did not qualify for a speedy deletion, because the one previously deleted at AfD was about a film of the same name, but yours is about a book. However, there is no indication that it meets Wikipedia's (fairly demanding) notability criteria, explained at WP:Notability (books), so I have proposed it for deletion - formal notice below.

The article The Hate List has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- there is no indication that this meets the notability standard of WP:Notability (books).
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JohnCD (talk) 16:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
...because that is the actual title of the book. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
