Dreaming (spirituality)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dreaming (spirituality), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Dreaming (story). 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.

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

Dennis Walker

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Dennis Walker, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I gather that you are then then-still-anonymous user who put in the "Djab Wurrung" bit. Am I right in assuming that this is the same language as "Chaap Wuurong" or "Tjapwuring" (see mihirung)? And if so, since you seem knowledgeable - do you happen to know of an online dictionary or wordlist that could fix that missing citation ("emu" and "huge" seem trivial enough to make it in most such lists I would think)?

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Papunya Tula. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello DRyan! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Paul Coe - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Richard Walley - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Wesley Enoch - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
