Broxbourne Council election, 2011 edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Broxbourne Council election, 2011, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Broxbourne Council election, 2010. 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 trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot 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.

Your contributed article, Broxbourne Council election, 2011 edit

 

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Broxbourne Council election, 2011. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Brouxbourne Council election, 2010. 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 Brouxbourne Council election, 2010 - 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 {{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. 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. Connormah (talk) 14:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi. When you recently edited Hertfordshire County Council elections, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Independent (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Proposed deletion of Broxbourne Council election, 2014 edit

 

The article Broxbourne Council election, 2014 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Pure crystal balling, no reference for any date given, no reference for who will definitely be standing in two years time

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.

Just to be sure, this kind of edit is entirely disruptive, posting your personal gripe onto the mainspace of Wikipedia is entirely unacceptable. If it happens again, you should expect your editing privileges to be severely limited. Take your opinion to a relevant talk page, not to the encyclopaedia that everyone reads. Cheers.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
