Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Midian do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Midian. Wikipedia is not a collection 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 guideline 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, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

Notability of Reuben James Steindorf

A tag has been placed on Reuben James Steindorf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 06:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Removal of speedy deletion tags

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Reuben James Steindorf, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 06:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problems

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Vision Realm Entertainment Inc., please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.visionrealm.com/staff-reuben.html. As a copyright violation, Vision Realm Entertainment Inc. appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Vision Realm Entertainment Inc. has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Vision Realm Entertainment Inc. and send an email with the message 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 GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Vision Realm Entertainment Inc. 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 note that you have done so on Talk:Vision Realm Entertainment Inc..

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. ←Signed:→Mr. E. Sánchez ^{Get to know me!} / _{Talk to me!}←at≈:→ 06:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Messages on my talk page

Please note that new messages should always be left at the very bottom of the talk page. Sticking them between old messages will prompt me to interpret them as a reply and I may have difficulty finding them or answering them. Also, please note that all comments should be signed by making use of the ~~~~ (four tildes) syntax, which produces your signature (you'll see mine in a bit here).

As for those articles, I could not find any release into the public domain or into the GFDL (and I guess neither could the deleting administrators). All I saw is Copyright 1999 at the bottom of the pages. All contributions you make on Wikipedia must match the GFDL licensing and terms. You'll note that between the edit box and the summary box, there's a statement reading:

Content that violates any copyright will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the terms of the GFDL*.

We take the copyright issues very seriously here. Please read over this policy regarding copyright.

Please be sure to ask me if you need more help.

Thanks, however, for wanting to get involved!
