This is your last warning.
The next time you vandalize a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

I now see that your edit wasn't vandalism — you were removing a large chunk of duplicated material. My apologies for the misunderstanding — but it wouldn't have happened if you'd used an edit summary:


When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. --Mel Etitis (Talk) 19:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Author/Journalist & Reuters Correspondent Mohamud M. Afrah & Dir.Gen.Kornel Ahmad Xaaji Gacal

edit

Articles about people are listed by the name and not by titles. I have moved them both. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:39, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

I just found out that Mohamud M. Afrah was copied from here and Ahmad Xaaji Gacal was copied from here. Please do not copy information from other websites as it violates copyright laws. Take a few minutes and read Wikipedia:Copyrights. Be aware that continuing to post copyright material will lead to bloking. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 10:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Guuleed Faarax Jeex

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position.

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Abgaal. 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.

  Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Hiraab. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Statements such as "One of the most important and more and more powerful tribes" especially require attribution, as they appear to be non-neutral.

License tagging for Image:Caddoow.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Caddoow.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Hassan Barsane, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s).

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Hassan Barsane and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

Speedy deletion of Celi Cumar Galmaax

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Celi Cumar Galmaax 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
