Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Bill Schultz (Producer) article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:41, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • A major part of the article seems to have been copied from an outside website, such as this one (and it probably originally came from his official biography.). Do you actually own copyright to the text in order to be able to release it on Wikipedia under the GFDL license? In that case, you should post a notice on the website that you agree release the text under that license, or e-mail the Wikipedia list (permissions-en[at]wikimedia[dot]org) and confirm the release as explained here. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
  • After doing a bit of more research, it seems to me that only a relatively minor part has been copied from the outside website (mostly the article lead) - I have removed the copyright violation tag and marked it for cleanup instead. (Have a look at the Wikipedia manual of style, too.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 21:09, 27 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hero:108

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Hero:108, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Hero:108 and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bonadea (talk) 17:39, 28 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Bill Schultz

Hi Bill, thanks for creating a page, but please note that self-created pages are discouraged. I have done some cleaning up as many of the details you provided are not verified by reliable sources and the portion that liste your credits appeared to be copied from an outside source.

Would you be willing to provide an image of yourself, or any others you might have of others (especially from your time at The Simpsons)? Thanks, Scorpion0422 23:57, 29 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The article was a good start, but I felt some of the wording was the kind of stuff that should be avoided. You can readd what you like, but a lot of the article focused completely on the positives, which should also be avoided. If some of the statements can be backed in reliable third party sources, then by all means, please add citations. As for images, any you could add would be most welcome. -- Scorpion0422 19:17, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Unreferenced BLPs

edit

  Hello Em2bill! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 875 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
