Proposed deletion of Let's Kill All the Lawyers

[edit]

The article Let's Kill All the Lawyers has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Quote is not notable enough for its own page. Also, entire page is an opinionated essay; would require WP:TNT to fix.

While all constructive 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.

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Lawyer joke, you may be blocked from editing. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ (talk) 01:51, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Zppix: No vandalizing here. The only change intended to make was to change one link on Lawyer joke from a disambiguation page to the new article I created on that topic. If there was another change, then it was unintentional and I apologize. Steampowered32 (talk) 02:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC) Steampowered32[reply]
Looks like Zppix was using an automated vandalism detection tool, and saw your URL link as an external link. When linking from one article to another, make sure to use a wikilink instead of pasting the full URL of the Wikipedia. Cheers, IagoQnsi (talk) 03:39, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Let's Kill All the Lawyers, 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 article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. You can remove {{Proposed deletion}} tags, but not speedy deletion tags like {{db-g3}}. IagoQnsi (talk) 01:51, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between being worth mentioning in another article, and being notable enough to warrant its own article. Also, I recommend we continue discussing this over at the article's deletion discussion. -IagoQnsi (talk) 02:04, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Steampowered32, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Let's Kill All the Lawyers has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:52, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa Could you please be more directive about any changes I need to make? Do I simply need to add a citation for the Shakespeare lines, or do they need to be removed? Also it should be noted that all the works of William Shakespeare are in the public domain, and the copyrights long ago expired. Steampowered32 (talk) 02:38, 3 March 2016 (UTC) Steampowered32[reply]

[edit]

Based on the number of warnings already on your talk page I'm likely wasting my time trying to help, but I noticed on your edit to Park City, Utah that you used Wikipedia as one of your sources. This is not permitted. Please take a moment to read WP:CIRC. Magnolia677 (talk) 02:49, 15 March 2016 (UTC) @Magnolia677 based on your desire to change this back to it's incorrect value citing a crappy 2005 "class project" substandard reference, I suspect you have some sort of personal interest in promoting this incorrect economic figure. I will find the correct figure and fix your false value on this page.[reply]
