Your recent edits[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you must sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 04:46, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Sorry to disagree with you, but the page had virtually no content. It also duplicates an existing topic: [1]. I believe you will find that Star Wars is already well represented; you may wish to consider expanding an additional article. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 05:08, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why Was My Article Deleted?[edit]

That's the question you are probably asking yourself right now. Well, there are a couple reasons your article could have been deleted.

It may not have met the General notability guideline. This is the guideline that all articles must meet before they can be included on Wikipedia.
It may not have been notable. If a subject isn't notable, it isn't included. Your little brother's garage rock band with 5 fans isn't notable, but Metallica...that's notable.
It may not have been verifiable. If an article doesn't have several third-party reliable sources, it can be deleted as original research.
It may have been advertising. Any page about a company of any sort must meet strict guidelines so it isn't considered advertisting. A page about the local quickie-mart is probably advertising and also probably not notable.

We welcome articles written as part of school assigments. Note that if your article is part of a school project, it must still meet our requirements. It might be useful for your project to be registered at the School and university projects WikiProject, and you can look there for some help specifically with your school-related project.

To create an article, first, please read WP:FIRST. This page is about creating your first article. Then get all the information you can on the subject. Create the article first in userspace (on a subpage of your userpage) so it won't get deleted before you are finished. Add all the information, references, reliable sources and more to the page. Make sure it meets the General notability guideline. If you aren't sure, ask an admin, they will be glad to help. Then move it to where you want it in mainspace (on the Wikipedia). From there, keep it updated with pertinent updated information, so the article doesn't become stale. When in doubt with anything, ask the Help desk or an admin. Hope this helps...Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:09, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Sullivan Edits[edit]

Hello, Middermuffonman! Your edits to the section on The Doors in the Ed Sullivan Show article need some discussion if they are to be included. I could start a new section on that talk page or you could: but there are a few issues regarding the photo (which is copyrighted), unverified claims and writing style. We and others could discuss it there, and hopefully a consensus can be found where your additions could be included properly. Cheers :> Doc talk 08:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions[edit]

Please don't upload photos to which you don't own the copyright. Just because you took the screenshot and cropped it yourself, that doesn't make it yours. That's what copyright means: even if you make a copy, the rights still belong to the creator.

The copyright to that image belongs to Paul Ferrara, and only Paul Ferrara can release it.

Also, you can't keep hoaxes on your userpage, so that's gone too. DS (talk) 14:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
