Conflict of interest edit

Hi James, I see that you have been adding a number of your own papers are references to articles. We generally ask that authors not do this, since it it seen as a conflict of interest and is thus against Wikipedia's rules. Thanks, Gwernol 13:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please also note that the "References" section of an article should be used to list sources that have been used to construct the article. I have removed your recently added sources that have not been used to add information to the article(s) involved. Gwernol 13:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

March 2007 edit

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Critical realism. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policy for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Postfoundationalism/Postoundationalism edit

Hi Jamessmith - just to let you know that I've placed a tag on Postoundationalism requesting it be speedily deleted, as you - the only contributor - blanked the page. I see you've done this because there was a typo in the article name you choose. For reference, if a similar problem should happen again, you can move the page to an appropriate title rather than having to create another article from scratch. Let me know if you want any further elaboration. Thanks, Gonzonoir (talk) 11:08, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply


Speedy deletion of "New South Wales Institute for Educational Research" edit

 

A page you created, New South Wales Institute for Educational Research, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. ukexpat (talk) 20:28, 19 June 2009 (UTC)Reply


Proposed deletion of New South Wales Institute for Educational Research Award for Outstanding Educational Research edit

 

The article New South Wales Institute for Educational Research Award for Outstanding Educational Research has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not shown. All references are primary. Cannot verify.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Southern Cross University Alumni edit

 

A tag has been placed on Southern Cross University Alumni, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 22:15, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Group on International Perspectives on Governmental Aggression and Peace, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: The Group on International Perspectives on Governmental Aggression and Peace. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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.

Links edit

I didn't reverse the link, I just debolded it. It's still linked (have a look on the page), but it's no longer in bold. This is because we use bold on those pages to identify sitting politicians - you'll see some other notable candidates, like Fiona Patton, Lee Rhiannon and Alannah MacTiernan, aren't bolded either.

Speedy deletion nomination of Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association edit

 

A tag has been placed on Australian Seniors Computer Clubs Association 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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 administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your contributed article, "Denise Irene Bradley" edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, "Denise Irene Bradley". First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Denise Irene Bradley. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Denise Irene Bradley - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Travelbird (talk) 11:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. When you recently edited Alex Smith (Redcliffe heritage builder), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Rotary, Heritage and CWA (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
