H-Dhami

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of H-Dhami, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.hdhami.com/bio.htm. 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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of H-Dhami

A tag has been placed on H-Dhami 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.

Reposting deleted content

A tag has been placed on Kidd Skilly requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. JBsupreme (talk) 08:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Please stop spamming Wikipedia with non-notable biographies. If you have any questions, just leave me a note on my talk page. Thanks, JBsupreme (talk) 08:45, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Lil Wayne

Hello, your recent additions to Lil Wayne have been reverted. Material in Wikipedia needs to be verifiable; and so future projects are not covered until a reliable source says they are in production stage. Thanks for your interest in Wikipedia, and I hope you choose to continue to support the project following the guidelines the community has agreed upon. (see more information in the Welcome message at the top of your page). -- The Red Pen of Doom 15:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:AubDrakeYoungMoney.jpeg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:AubDrakeYoungMoney.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 22:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Mr Carter single cvr.png

Thanks for uploading File:Mr Carter single cvr.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.

Breezy (film)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Breezy (film), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Breezy. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of J.Cole (rapper)

The article J.Cole (rapper) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:MUSICBIO

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Falcon8765 (talk) 19:05, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Bestieverhadalternatecover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Bestieverhadalternatecover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Σxplicit 05:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Musical articles

Hello Dingdong65
While a certain boldness is welcome when editing, you should nonetheless be on the lookout for guidelines here on Wikipedia. For example, when you restored the Crawl (Chris Brown song) article, you did so even though the history and the page content made note that just being a single (which it even isn't, yet) is not enough. Per WP:NSONGS, it typically needs to have charted on a significant national chart before it having a standalone article. Also, concerning your cut&paste move from Written on Her to Written On Her, that was problematic for two reasons: While you made note where the content came from, which is important for CC-by-SA licensing reasons, it still splits the page history over several pages. If you can't move a page yourself, you should simply request one at WP:RM. In this particular case, the naming conventions for musical articles are laid out at WP:MUSTARD.
As I said, a certain boldness is welcome, but if you want your changes to stick, you need to have consensus with you, else they'll just be reverted. In those two cases, I know that the community usually disagrees with you, per the guidelines I mentioned. If you think it's wrong, discuss it first at the respective talk pages, e.g. Talk:Written on Her and Talk:Graffiti (Chris Brown album). It's the only way, really, if you are convinced your changes are correct.

Copy-and-paste page moves

Hello, Dingdong65. Concerning your contribution, B.o.B (entertainer), a page move cannot be done by simply copying and pasting the contents of a page into a new location, as such a process does not transfer the page's edit history and therefore violates the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). As a violation of the page move process, B.o.B (entertainer) needs to be temporarily deleted under the speedy deletion criteria so that the page you intended to move may be properly moved in a way that will preserve its edit history. B.o.B (entertainer) has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If not, please refrain from editing either the page you intended to move or B.o.B (entertainer) until the latter has been deleted according to Wikipedia's speedy criterion G6 (non-controversial housekeeping).

If you did not intend to make a page move, then please insert the {{hangon}} tag right below the {{db-copypaste}} tag in B.o.B (entertainer) and state your intentions on Talk:B.o.B (entertainer). An administrator will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. Thank you for your contributions. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 15:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to the page User:TheBigJagielka/Samuel Galindo. Blank pages can confuse readers, and are overall not helpful to the Wikipedia project; furthermore, blanking a page is not the same as deleting it.

If the article you blanked is a duplicate of another article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate revision. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please use the appropriate deletion process.

Articles for deletion nomination of The Smeezingtons

I have nominated The Smeezingtons, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Smeezingtons. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Lil-unique1 (talk) 02:44, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Wellingtons.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Wellingtons.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MilborneOne (talk) 21:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Luke Christopher

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 Luke Christopher 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 02:43, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sponeta

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

Zero independent in-depth sources located. Sponeta isn't even mentioned in the source referenced on the page ([1]), let alone the topic of discussion.

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. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:45, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
