Article

Just to let you know...

Anyone on Wikipedia may edit Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club. They do not have to be part of the team. Also, I request you stop using anon sockpuppets and/or meatpuppets to write the article. The article doesn't need the content you added, and to me, and I am sure to others, it looked like nonsense and Test edits. If you'd like to write the article, try using the Wikipedia Sandbox and add the new page to the old one when you have finished. Thank you, T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 23:24, 13 November 2008 (UTC).

I have reverted your edits once more. If you'd like to add a roster, feel free to do so. But, the roster you've added has no source, it has parts that aren't in English (This is the English Wikipedia), and it has quotes that are worth nothing to the project. I request that if you do add a roster, it be formatted in a table, or in bullets/a numbered list. I'd also request that you add a source to an article, or document, with that roster. Thank you, T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 09:45, 14 November 2008 (UTC).

Delldot didn't lock the article. Another admin did, after my request. I have no issue with your adding the roster to the page, but, it would need sources. More than the Club's Drupal-powered website. Anyone may make a website and call it whatever they'd like. If you could get a link on CMU's website, claiming it is the official site, it will be a tad more convincing, and cross-refrences would be the best. Also, the roster you added had nicknames and such. It should be (if at all) only Given and Surnames. Thank you, T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 03:20, 16 November 2008 (UTC).

You seem to also be using multiple accounts/IP addresses to edit the page. Using multiple accounts to make similar (and in this case, previously reverted) contributions is considered sockpuppeting, a behavior that isn't generally allowed on wikipedia (in your circumstance), thank you T^heDJA^tC^lubR^ock :-) ^(T/C) 03:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC).

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 01:04, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Carnegie Mellon

Hi, I wanted to let you know why I reverted your edit to Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so we have some strict standards for what kind of content is allowed in articles. Since anyone can edit the pages, it's important that we have a policy of verifiability: requiring that all information be attributable to a published source. Similarly, no original ideas can be added to articles. It is also of utmost importance that any info about living people be sourced and not defamatory. We have these rules because we seek to be a reliable, useful source to a lot of people. Thanks for understanding, please don't re-add the material. I would hate to have to lock the page from editing or block you and the IPs involved from editing. Thanks again. Peace, delldot ∇. 00:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi again, thanks for the note. Yeah, it wasn't me that protected the page, but I support it. I'm sorry, I feel that the material is not appropriate for a Wikipedia article. As I said in my previous post above, the edits are not allowed unless they can be supported by a published source. Please understand that it's nothing personal against you our your group: we have to have the reliable sources requirement in order to be reliable ourselves. As Thedjatclubrock says, your own website doesn't cut it; it would have to be an independent source. Please see WP:RS. I suspect this material has never been published anywhere, so it can't be included at all (but I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can provide a reliable source). Please also note that "making fun" of people is never appropriate for a Wikipedia article, so much of this content would be inappropriate whether or not you have a source. There are also notability concerns. Please let me know if you have any questions about this or my previous post, I'm happy to clarify (and I understand Wikipedia's inclusion criteria can be a lot of info to take in!). Peace, delldot ∇. 05:09, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carnegie Mellon Rugby Football Club. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
