User talk:CornerD

Welcome!

Hello, CornerD, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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 this page, followed by your question, 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:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:41, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Hamilton United Reformed Church

If 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 Hamilton United Reformed Church requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hamilton United Reformed Church

The link to Hamilton United Reformed Church has been removed alleging copyright infringements. As the Webmaster and author of the Hamilton Site all photographs reproduced are mine and I am sole copyright holder - also I have permission for all the photographs taken. How can I have this link restored? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CornerD (talk • contribs) 14:54, 4 September 2012‎ CornerD (talk) 14:06, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Derek Corner[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:02, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest as you are affiliated with the article's subject. Contributors who are closely connected to the subject must be cautious to ensure that their edits are neutral and verifiable from independent, reliable sources. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 15:39, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One more small item - when you add content to talk pages, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. This will automatically insert a signature with your username and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 15:42, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to David Livingstone. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:58, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Material I have added to Livingstone page is general information - none is related to profit making bodies - none is promoting an organisation or a company - merely directing people to sites which may be of interest.CornerD (talk) 16:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)derek Corner[reply]

I'm sure you had good intentions, but if you look at Wikipedia:Notability (events), celebratory events like bicentenaries are unlikely to have any enduring historical significance, and don't really belong in the article. As such, inserting external links into the body of an article to event websites has the appearance of link spam that's intended to drive traffic to the sites. If any of these events have gotten significant and diverse coverage from reliable sources, they might be worthy of inclusion in the External links section at the bottom of the article. I hope that helps. --Drm310 (talk) 19:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hamilton United Reformed Church, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Apologies, but I was concerned that the text was too close to that on our own Church Website. Thanks for the work you have obviously done on the page - it is much appreciated. I will be adding three references. Would it be in order to give a direct link to our Church Website? CornerD (talk) 13:53, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS - I can add pages on the Evangelical Union and also the Scottish Congregational College which would bring a roundness to the entry. I will dig around our denominational history books and produce a summary account. CornerD (talk) 13:57, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, CornerD. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 03:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
