Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Pardon me, but why are you creating all those templates? What purpose would they serve, other than for the list page? Banaticus (talk) 04:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Slapstick (musical instrument)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Slapstick (musical instrument), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary/texts/Slapstick.html. 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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:10, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Disambiguation link notification for June 29

Hi. When you recently edited List of musical instruments, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tupan (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 16:12, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
