This is the only warning you will receive. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to October 2008 Zagreb bombing. WadeSimMiser (talk) 22:36, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Chester Music School, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Chester Music School and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JNW (talk) 23:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. JNW (talk) 00:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Chester music school, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://chestermusicschool.co.uk. 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.

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.

Your edits to Chester

[edit]

You and possibly one other (though it may be you using a different i.d.) appears to be engaging in edit-warring on the above article. Please stop, and do not re-add the material unless you discuss the matter first on the article's talk page. Thank you.  DDStretch  (talk) 11:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Chester Music School article

[edit]

I have deleted your re-creation of this article for two reasons: (a) it was largely a copy of material found on a different website, and (b) it was also a re-creation of an article that had been deleted less than 1 day previously under the crietria for speedy deletion.

I can understand why you think there might be scope for such an article, but in order for it not to meet the same fate, I suggest that you write it first on a sub-page of your talk page (here), so creating something like User talk:Peter bruce/Chester Music School would be a good move (you can press the link and start to write it, and then return to it to add material to it later.) Remember that you will need to establish notability for the school, and you really should do this by showing verification of notability by using citations of reliable sources. You should also include other references in the article. You should not reproduce material from any other website, though of course, you can re-state information you find in a variety of sources using your own words to avoid any more copyright infringements.

I suggest that once you have a basic article in a reasonable condition, with references to reliable sources to establish notability, you can then ask for wider opinions as to whether it should "go live" in a real article. If people are favourable, then move the article to a page of its own.

In future, you may not need to do what I have suggested, but because this article has had a chequered history so far with deletions, I have given you a procedure that will not raise suspicions that you are engaging in disruption, and so it will help you, and your new article, fit into wikipedia better. I hope you can see that this may be a good way forward. Best wishes.  DDStretch  (talk) 11:32, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Chester Music School

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Chester Music School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A serious piece of advice

[edit]
Look. This is now becoming tedious. If you do not pause and accept the advice I have given about Chester Music School (in whatever capitalisation scheme), but you keep on re-creating it complete with copyright infringements, sometimes almost as soon as it has been deleted, you may find yourself warned and, in the extreme, blocked. Please do not place yourself in this situation. Please read the instructions I suggested you follow, above, and that way you will stand a better chance of getting the article into an acceptable state.  DDStretch  (talk) 19:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
