Talk Page I have permission from the author to display this text. This is the third message that I have recieved and nobody has offered to even help. All of the messages have contained threats and insults to myself and Steve and Doris Colgate. I feel that the editors of are being un fair and unproffesional. if you supply guidelines for "talk" then even you guy should follow them. I am very frustrated. This is my first time using Wikipedia, and probably my last. I have an email from the author with the text that I posted on the page. And I have full permision to use all text and photos. What else do you want from me!!!

Steve Colgate

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Steve Colgate, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.offshore-sailing.com/AboutOffshore/OurTeam/stevedoris.asp.

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 20:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Doris.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Doris.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 20:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve Colgate.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Steve Colgate.JPG. The copy called Image:Steve Colgate.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 01:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Steve colgate, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Discgolfrules 01:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Stop uploading copyrighted text, this is your last warning

Please stop uploading copyrighted text, as you did to Steve Colgate. If you do so again, without explanation, you may be blocked from further editing. The Evil Spartan 19:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, you say on the talk page that you have copyright permission for these articles. Can you prove that somehow? Splash - tk 22:27, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Wait

The best thing is to stop trying to create articles. Wait until an established Wikipedia editor with no COI thinks the Colgates are notable and writes them up. If you think the messages are "threats and insults", then you are clearly far too thin skinned to edit here. Most of the message were from bots anyway! -- RHaworth 07:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
