Welcome!

Hello, Fireandy, 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 The Gladiator (Simon Scarrow), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Gladiator (Simon Scarrow) edit

 

A tag has been placed on The Gladiator (Simon Scarrow), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. mhking (talk) 21:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

August 2009 edit

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with The Gladiator (Simon Scarrow). If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. mhking (talk) 21:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to The Gladiator (Simon Scarrow). Wysprgr2005 (talk) 21:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

St Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of St Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.sgschool.org.uk. 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.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Olivia Scott-Taylor edit

 

A tag has been placed on Olivia Scott-Taylor 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 23:00, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

You will want to look at WP:ENT for specific notability guidelines... "significant" is key (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:30, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Boris hugging a tree edit

 

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Boris hugging a tree, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

June 2010 edit

  Please do not add hoaxes to Wikipedia, such as you did in the article Boris hugging a tree. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please don't disrupt Wikipedia in an attempt to test our ability to detect and remove such material. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thank you. CIreland (talk) 17:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Millennium’s Rule edit

 

The article Millennium’s Rule has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unpublished book series that has been announced for possible publication three years from now. Fails WP:CRYSTAL. References currently consist of a press release, a reprint of the same press release, and the author's website.

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.

Disambiguation link notification for December 31 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Aberystwyth Student Media, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Student media. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:35, 31 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
