TADIXS

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of TADIXS, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.fas.org/irp/program/disseminate/tadixs.htm. 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.

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) 14:21, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles as you apparently did to Star Trek. Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. If you want to articulate a reason for Enterprise's cancellation, then you need to cite a source. --EEMIV (talk) 21:21, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I tried to find the article I read on startrek.com. I read the article back in 2004/2005 when they first announced the show was being cancelled. In the article he said that he regretted not letting the lead writer go who wrote most of season 3. There was also a mention of it on the Histroy Channel, the show was 'How William Shatner Changed the World'. Towards the end of the show Mr. Shatner said, 'perhaps the decline of the Star Trek Series beginning with Deep Space 9 and Voyager later seasons. By the time Enterprise came to life the show was doomed.' Also said, 'perhaps the ultimate reason was because the shows writers had moved to far from Gene Roddenberry's original vision.' Those, unfortunately, are not exact quotes but it is the general meaning. Anyway, sorry about adding the 'opinion' vice the fact. Have a good day. Brian

Proposed deletion of Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Defense Information Infrastructure Common Operating Environment, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion of The Space Voyagers

A tag has been placed on The Space Voyagers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

--EEMIV (talk) 19:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

So who determines what is "notable"? In reading the guidlines I see no specific guidance to determine that. It is subjective vice objective. Your screener decides what deserves to be called "notable" and what does not. The article in question is refering to a webseries that is gaining in popularity as it grows in viewership.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Essex Earth orbit.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Essex Earth orbit.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 01:39, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
