Welcome

[edit]

Hello, ColourMeAliix, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing.

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 your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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! SGGH ping! 21:49, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The Best... Album in the World...Ever!, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

The recent edit you made to The Best... Album in the World...Ever! constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content from articles without explanation. Thank you. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 08:26, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Turbulence 3 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may 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 {{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.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Colour Me Stupid requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an 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. Bagheera (talk) 21:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: As noted to you above, the article about your band was deleted because you did not establish why your band is notable enough for inclusion per the notability guidelines for musicians. For your band to be notable, they must meet one of the criteria per the guideline. For example, if you have a hit single or album, then your band would be notable. Merely having a Facebook page does not make your band notable. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop recreating the article about your band as you do not currently appear notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia since you have only covered four songs and have one original song. Perhaps in the future, your band will hit it big and will meet the notability requirements. But until then, please stop creating the article unless your band meets the notability requirements. Thank you. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:18, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: Yes, I am aware of how long you have been working on the article, but as I told you over an hour ago, your band does not appear to currently meet the notability guidelines. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re your message: The notability requirements are listed at Wikipedia:Notability (music). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:28, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Re your message: I'm sorry that you feel that the guidelines are ridiculous, but they are the Wikipedia community's consensus on what qualifies a band for notability. I have restored the article to your user space at User:ColourMeAliix/Colour Me Stupid. However, do not move the article back into main space until you can show why your band meets the notability guidelines. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:49, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
