Welcome!
Hello, Klasikstov, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like U of D Academy Lacrosse, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}}
on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- Your first article
- Biographies of living persons
- How to write a great article
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Help pages
- Tutorial
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Beach drifter (talk) 21:44, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of U of D Academy Lacrosse
editA tag has been placed on U of D Academy Lacrosse 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 club, 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 guidelines for people and for organizations.
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.

Please don't remove the editing tags from UN Security Council Resolution 1804 without addressing the concerns they address. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to UN Security Council Resolution 1804. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:14, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Please see Talk:UN Security Council Resolution 1804. Discuss it there, if you don't, I may nominate the page for deletion as not an encyclopedia article. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Copyright problem: UN Security Council Resolution 1804
editHello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as UN Security Council Resolution 1804, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2008/sc9275.doc.htm, and therefore a copyright violation. (The United Nations reserves copyright; while it permits reproduction of news releases with attribution, it requires notice and does not specify that modification is permitted. This is not compatible with our license.) The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under allowance license, then you should do one of the following:
- If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:UN Security Council Resolution 1804 and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
- If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted ''under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later and Creative Commons Share Alike (CC-BY-SA), versions 3.0 or later, under CC-BY-SA, versions 3.0 or later, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:UN Security Council Resolution 1804 with a link to where we can find that note.
- If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL and CC-BY-SA, and note that you have done so on Talk:UN Security Council Resolution 1804. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:UN Security Council Resolution 1804 saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.
Additionally, I notice that you copied some text from an existing Wikipedia article to another. While Wikipedia encourages you to reuse its text, I'm afraid that we do require attribution, even if you copy it from one Wikipedia article to another. This is because Wikipedia's contributors do not relinquish their copyright, but only license their material in accordance with CC-By-SA. It is sufficient when copying material from one article to another to make a note that you have done so, either in the edit summary or at the article's talk page. You should also note that you've copied the text at the edit summary or talk page of the source article, just to ensure that the article is not deleted or removed. As long as text taken from it exists elsewhere on Wikipedia, it must be retained for attribution.
Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:Canadamap.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Canadamap.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NW (Talk) 21:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
