This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Miller v. Albright, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/96-1060.ZO.html.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 15:38, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
The article Miller v. Albright has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- This article neither asserts nor verifies notability.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:50, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Creating your first article
editThank you for your recent contributions, such as Miller v. Albright. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 16:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Few advice for u
editAs you are new to wikipedia, you might not be aware of this, but if you create a article is short, then it could be deleted. In order to prevent it from deletion, try making a STUB of the article. If you will keep a Stub template in the bottom of the page, then it will not be deleted.
How to make a stub is stated Here.
In future, if you're working on an article that isn't complete yet, try placing a tag { { underconstruction } } (without the space in between the brackets) on that article or creating a subpage of your userpage and creating the article there first. How to do so is explained here. Then, once you've completed the article to an acceptable standard, you can create the article properly and copy everything from the subpage to the main article. That way, you're less likely to leave half-finished articles lying around, which other users may mark for deletion.
And if you need any further help, I m ready to help you and feel free to ask for any guidance to me.
Thank You. Happy editing!

- That advice is not quite correct. {{stub}} does not protect any article from deletion. WHat it does is signifies that an article is worthy of expansion. Articles of even the shortest length still have to be WP:notable and WP:verifiable in order to have a place here. {{underconstruction}} will also not save an article that is neither notable nor verifiable, but it may delay nomination for deletion. Far better is to draft an article in user space first. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:03, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
advice
editLook, I realize you're in a class that is requiring a contribution to Wikipedia, you said on the now deleted article talk p. it was "for a political science course I am taking at UMASS Amherst" But as far as we here are concerned, you must make acceptable contributions. A mere sentence is not enough. You must at least explain the subject a little, and also put in a reference to a published source at the very first edit. for a court case, give the full legal citation, and if possible a link to where on the web it can be found--all US Supreme Court cases should be so available. .
As an administrator here, I have deleted the page as a test page. Please do not be discouraged, but view it as an experiment. Now write a real article.
Please ask you teacher to get in touch with us. He seems to have inadvertently given the class an assignment that , if carried out minimally, will lead to a very unsatisfactory experience here. I'm sure this was not intended. Your teacher should do one of the following:
- Get in touch with us through our OTRS system. -- see the linked page for details.
- Get in touch we me (or another administrator) by using my talk page User talk:DGG
- Send me (or another administrator) email through Wikipedia -- it will be necessary first to make an account and enable email. The link for " email this user" will then appear on my user page
or you can send me an email, and I will mail back my professional email address at my own university, through which I can be contacted.
This is essential--we will delete any articles you or your classmates write in this manner; it does not do a service to the readers of the encyclopedia to find such articles. If I can help you or your teacher further, let me know on my user talk page. DGG ( talk ) 18:28, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- Hello. My colleague, DGG, has offered some good advice above. Please stop creating pointless articles that say things like "for a political science course I am taking at UMASS Amherst". The JPStalk to me 22:41, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
