Speedy deletion nomination of Surat FC

A tag has been placed on Surat FC 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 a club, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. 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.

Recent changes to US soccer teams

I have reverted all the recent changes you made to various US soccer team pages. None of the changes you made shows a verifiable source for your information, and some of the changes you made were just plain wrong. Please ensure that you include a valid WP:SOURCE for the changes you make in future. Thanks. --JonBroxton (talk) 17:38, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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.

Please stop adding those links. I will revert them all, as they all fail our external links guideline, they do not add anything to the pages where you added them. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 09:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

November 2010

This is your only warning. If you insert a spam link to Wikipedia again, as you did at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Shillong, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted, preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Amicale FC

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Amicale FC, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://interceder.net/news/hekari.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

May 2011

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Black Leopards F.C.. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 23:48, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Thohoyandou Stadium. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 23:51, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Kingfisher East Bengal FC, you may be blocked from editing. Shovon (talk) 10:11, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to S.V. S.U.B.T. with this edit, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Jetro Willems

The article Jetro Willems has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed deletion of Rubén Bentancourt

The article Rubén Bentancourt has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable youth player who fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

October 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Melbourne Victory FC, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Nath1991 (talk) 22:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Olympique de Marseille. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Skarebo (talk) 10:35, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

November 2011

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Stadion u Nisy. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Cloudz679 (talk) 19:36, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Alfheim Stadion and Tromsø IL. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mentoz86 (talk) 12:01, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hottentotspur and thanks for your contributions. I would like to let you know that I have once more reverted your recent changes regarding the Slovan Liberec stadium. You can find out my reasons for doing so here Talk:Stadion u Nisy. Please try to establish consensus at the talk page before altering the stadium capacity any more. Thanks, Cloudz679 (talk) 22:16, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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.
