Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to A Muskrat Lullaby.

Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edward Barnes

I suggest you use the following when writing about the composer; [[Edward Barnes (composer)|Edward Barnes]] which will link directly to his article while still appearing as Edward Barnes. Cheers! 69.181.249.92 (talk) 21:43, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Some important issues you need to address

Hello MartyEdwards, and welcome to Wikipedia. While new contribtions are appreciated, there are some serious problems that you need to address.

You cannot copy verbatim from copyright sources as you did in A Place to Call Home (opera), The Vagabond Queen, Mystery on the Docks, A Muskrat Lullaby and The Old Man Who Loved Cheese (opera). All of the synopses were copied from the relevant pages at www.familyaudienceopera.com. I rewrote the first one, the remaining ones have been removed. Please see the talk pages of each of these articles for more information about this issue, and please take it on board. Editors who persistently infringe copyright can end up blocked. See also: WikiProject Opera: Copyright guidelines, especially the FAQ section.

All of these articles lack reliable sources which are independent of the subject, and several of them are of very dubious notability. Please read: WP:Reliable sources, WP:Notability, and WP:Verifiability and address this issue as soon as possible.

Wikipedia is an encylopedia not a web space provider for Family Audience Opera. If you have any connection whatsoever (personal or professional) with that organization or Edward Barnes you need to read WP:Conflict of interest and scrupulously follow the guidelines there.

I notice that Family Audience Opera has many more operas on their site. Please refrain from creating any further articles on them or on the organization itself until you have addressed the problems with the articles you have already created. If you need help don't hesitate to drop by WikiProject Opera where you can get advice from editors with lots of experience in writing on this area for Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Victor-Raul Garcia

A tag has been placed on Victor-Raul Garcia 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 person or group of people, 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 guideline for biographies. 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. —mono 00:10, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Old Man Who Loved Cheese

The article The Old Man Who Loved Cheese has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability, cannot find sources to meet WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
