Creating a first article

Dear Unsunghero07, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'd like to take this opportunity to provide information related to creating articles. First, make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please review the following relevant policies and guidelines. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so articles must not contain original research, should cite to reliable sources which verify their content, must be written from a neutral point of view, and can not contain unsourced, negative content about living people, and finally, must not be copied from any other source.

In addition, articles need to assert the notability of the subject. Please see our subject-specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content. Also be aware that if you are closely associated with the subject, (or are writing about yourself) the conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating or editing the article.

If you still think your article is appropriate, see Help:Starting a new page. You might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. If you would prefer to get input prior to creating the article, to avoid the possibility that it may be deleted, feel free to post your suggestions at the articles for creation page. Sincerely, Ariel♥Gold 01:47, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bottomdawg

A tag has been placed on Bottomdawg 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, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Copyright violation

Dear Unsunghero07, welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate you coming here to contribute, but please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Bottomdawg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. Please review Wikipedia's copyright policy prior to adding material. If you wish to include the material you read there, you'll need to summarize, paraphrase, condense, and then feel free to submit it to the article. (See the following: Cite your sources, Manual of style, Layout guide, First article, Article development and How to edit for assistance.) Have a great day! - Ariel♥Gold 02:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

You copied and pasted word-for-word from this MySpace page, which is not allowed for legal reasons. Please review the policies given to you above, thanks. Ariel♥Gold 02:00, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

It is my own page! I am in the band! It's not copyright infringement when I am the one who wrote the bio in the first place! What do I have to do to put a page about this band on Wikipedia?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unsunghero0 (talk • contribs)

I thought the band were gone now?? BTW - it's that a conflict of interests? - Alison ^❤ 02:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

The band is indeed gone now. What does that have to do with anything? They have been gone for 10 years. Is being currently active a standard as well?? And how is it a conflict of interest - what interest exactly is at risk of being conflicted? Is that also a standard? Ex-members of the band not being able to write the Wikipedia page?

(Please click on the blue words on this page to see the policy or guideline they reference to understand more about Wikipedia.) Just because other things exist does not mean that they are appropriate, either, unfortunately. There are well over 2 million articles here, obviously some of them will not adhere to policy and guideline, and this is what deletion discussions are for. However, this article did not meet the most basic requirements for an article, and if you look here, I also explained quite nicely there what a basic article must contain to avoid deletion. Additionally, if you are a member of the band, or in some way affiliated with it, then you would be in Conflict of Interest, and you should not write or edit the article yourself, as you would unlikely be able to do so neutrally, and neutrality is another core policy of Wikipedia. I really would encourage you to take a bit of time, to read up on what Wikipedia is, and what it is not, to understand what makes it a different project than you may have first thought.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.
