Hello, I'm NeilN. I noticed that you made a change to an article, James Bates (sportscaster), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:39, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey Gogo Dodo - The James Bates (sportscaster) page needs to be updated. I work with him and this bio is not correct. He wants it updated to reflect his current bio. How can I correct his updated bio without violating the copyrighted material? (Dangoldberger (talk) 20:16, 20 August 2013 (UTC))

Rewrite the copyrighted text in your own words. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:20, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

First off, you need to stop copying material from his biography on the Fox Sports web pages. Such copying and pasting is a copyright violation and is not acceptable on Wikipedia.

You may update his biography, but you need to write it in your own words, not copied from others. I recommend that you read Wikipedia's article subject's FAQ before you continue to edit as it should answer many of the questions you may have regarding updating his biography. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:21, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Draft:James Bates concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:James Bates, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:James Bates

Hello, Dangoldberger. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "James Bates".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:James Bates}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 12:00, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
