Welcome!

Hello, Skotrat, 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, such as "Michael Abene", may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

Speedy deletion nomination of "Michael Abene"

A tag has been placed on "Michael Abene" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Hi Wacky, I run the MySpace Page for Michael Abene and have rights to use the content there and on other sites. I have no issues with it being altered nor do my parents. Thanks

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, such as "Michael Abene", you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. Marcus Qwertyus ^{(signs his posts)} 18:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Apologies on the duplicate. I have requested one for deletion.

Sure. Marcus Qwertyus ^{(signs his posts)} 18:09, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from "Michael Abene"‎, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Marcus Qwertyus ^{(signs his posts)} 18:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

FYI conflict of interest guideline

• see also: Wikipedia is not a soapbox and Wikipedia:User pages#What may I not have in my user pages?

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Michael Abene, "Michael Abene", or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉ 18:30, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:MAVARA, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.mavaraband.com/biography.html.

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.
