editWelcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article List of common misconceptions, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 18:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Please provide a source that this is a common misconception
editPlease do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to List of common misconceptions. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 18:35, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
Edit warring
editYou currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of common misconceptions. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 19:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Sources
editHi, I've been meaning to say something else, about sources. We don't use self-published stuff, blogs, stuff like ask.com, etc. Please see WP:RS and WP:Verify. It's difficult sometimes learning how to be a Wikipedia editor, just listen to more experienced users and someday you'll be one too! Dougweller (talk) 19:03, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Kyoketsu-shoge, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.dragonhoshidefense.com/about2.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.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:34, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

editHi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Kyoketsu shoge a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Colfax (band)
editIf 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.
A tag has been placed on Colfax (band) 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics. 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 {{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. E. Fokker (talk) 02:03, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

History

The band made an three song demo called An Entrance in the Making, which granted them opening slots for fellow Canadian acts such as Hedley, Ten Second Epic, and Theory of a Deadman. They were subsequently asked to create a full album in the summer of 2009, which was documented on their Youtube channel, Colfax TV[2]. The album was titled Keys to The Midway.
After the release of the album they joined with EducaTOUR where they give presentation on forming a band, the music industry, and songwriting[3], and are currently touring all across Canada.

MOTDs (This space for rent)
editYou may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:28, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Motto of the Day Help Request April 2014
edit→ From each according to his ability; to each according to his need!
Motto of the Day (WP:MOTD) is in a state of emergency and really needs your help! There are not enough editors who are reviewing or nominating mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review, and this probably means that you will notice a red link or “This space for rent” as our mottos for the next weeks and months.
Please take a moment to review the nominations and nominate your own new mottos at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/In review and Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/'Specials. Any help would be appreciated! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- This message has been sent by pjoef on behalf of Motto of the Day to all editors of the English Wikipedia who are showing MOTD's templates on their pages, and to all the participants to MOTD: (page, template, and category).
Hello, Ora Stendar. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Lots of laughs, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Lots of laughs to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.
Thanks, CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:48, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
