June 2010

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 Wikipedia:Category names. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. — ξ ^xplicit 01:06, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Portal:Shadowthieves

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. -Porchcrop ^{(talk|contributions)} 02:59, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Shadow Thieves of Australia.png

Thanks for uploading File:Shadow Thieves of Australia.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:05, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Blue Tongue Management

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 Blue Tongue Management 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Nat Gertler (talk) 00:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Harmonic Generator

Hello Bluetongue1. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Harmonic Generator".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

January 2017

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Stuart O'Grady. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Removal reason was invalid. The information was cited. -- Dane ^talk 23:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (This is a legitimate part of the Australian music industry. I perhaps need to edit it to make it more non promotional as it was not intended to be that) --58.108.200.19 (talk) 23:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Kevin Borich Express

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 Kevin Borich Express requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Kevin_Borich. 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 or other printed material 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

March 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Kevin Borich Express, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Although I recognise that you did largely fix the issues with copyvio on the page, you should NOT have removed the speedy deletion tag yourself, but waited for another editor to come along and do so. Mabalu (talk) 10:53, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just got your email, no, don't worry, we're all good and you don't need to restore the tag. I do think the original deletion request shouldn't have focused on the transfer of text from Wikipedia as a copyvio, because we are allowed to use text from other Wikipedia articles - however, there should be an acknowledgement that text was transferred or copied over from that Wikipedia page on a certain date, so that the original writers/contributors can be identified by page history. However, there was a problem with copying text from an off-Wiki page as well. BTW, you can reply to messages directly on your Talk Page by hitting the Edit link beside the section title. Mabalu (talk) 11:10, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up

Copying within Wikipedia - just found this notice, and thought it would help clarify

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. As you've rewritten the article now, there isn't really a need to provide an attribution for the situation, but if you do so in future, please provide attribution for the duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

Also, when you're replying or commenting to another user, don't forget to add four tildes (like this, ~~~~, to the end of your reply or comments, so that your replies are automatically dated and timed. Mabalu (talk) 11:34, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 01:41, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
