July 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Jamie Masse, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Drivenapart 15:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with Jamie Masse. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 17:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright issues Rick Downes

Copyright is a very serious matter here, so we can't simply accept the word of any editor that s/he is the copyright owner of a web site, as we have no verification of any user's identity. So if you want to use that text on Wikipedia, please do one of the following:

Add to the web site a notice saying "The contents of this site are released under the GFDL for anyone to reuse in accordance with the terms of the GFDL" along with a local copy of the GFDL text. (You may reword the notice as long as it freely releases the entire content under a free license. if you wish, instead of the GFDL you may use the Creative Commons attribution or share-alike licenses, the Mozilla public License, or simply declare that "The copyright holder of this site allows anyone to use it's content for any purpose including unrestricted redistribution, commercial use, and modification.")
send an email from an address listed on the site as being a site owner. Include in this email a statement such as

I hereby assert that I am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of WORK [ insert link ].

I agree to publish that work under the free license LICENSE [choose at least one from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Copyright_tags ].

I acknowledge that I grant anyone the right to use the work in a commercial product, and to modify it according to their needs.

I am aware that I always retain copyright of my work, and retain the right to be attributed in accordance with the license chosen. Modifications others make to the work will not be attributed to me.

I am aware that the free license only concerns copyright, and I reserve the option to take action against anyone who uses this work in a libelous way, or in violation of personality rights, trademark restrictions, etc.

I acknowledge that I cannot withdraw this agreement, and that the image may or may not be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project.

DATE, NAME OF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER

send a copy of this email to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org",

HOWEVER ... the text itself does not look as if it complies with Wikipedia's attribution and conflict of interest policies. --ROGER ^TALK 15:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How to fix Rick Downes

Regarding the article on Rick Downes. I know that he is running in the upcoming provincial election. This in itself does not make him a notable. I don't doubt that there is great potential that he may in fact be notable, however just cutting and pasting the biography from his campaign website is not the right way to create an article about him. What I reccomend is create an article, written following the Wikipedia Guide to Layout, and with an encyclopedic tone. Also remember (and this is very important, in order to not get your article deleted), make sure that you have secondary sources cited. As it sits now, regardless if you have the authaurization to use the copyrighted material, your article will probable get reccomended for speedy deletion under the notability guidlines for just that reason.If you need any help with this I would be more than happy to help you with it. Don't get discouraged just yet

Orphaned non-free image (Image:RickDownescampaignweb2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:RickDownescampaignweb2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Masse

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jamie Masse, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: User:Jnova123. 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.

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.

Speedy deletion of Jamie Masse

A tag has been placed on Jamie Masse 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. Padillah (talk) 20:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this article was previously deleted after consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jamie Masse (2nd nomination). Reposting it is considered vandalism. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:52, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Stephen Yardy

A tag has been placed on Stephen Yardy 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.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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.
