Neutral

Hi, thanks for your message. Editing from a neutral point of view means not praising or criticising anything based on your opinion and writing should be in the style of a paper encyclopedia. Expert opinions such as newspaper film critics are allowed as long as they are quoted and referenced.Many articles are deleted for overpraising the subject. Also articles should be based on what WP:Reliable sources such as newspapers, books, magazines, and reliable websites say about the subject and referenced to them but again this needs to be in a neutral tone and direct copying is not allowed unless it is in quotes. Sources such as a company website or personal website are not considered reliable because they are too close to the subject and not objective. Also please see WP:Neutrality and WP:V, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 12:59, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rae Russel

Hello Randomlike,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rae Russel for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

CASSIOPEIA (talk) 13:52, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't deleted the article, but I've had to remove most of the content as it was copied directly from external sources and so was a violation of copyright policy. If you want to rebuild the article, please be sure to do so in your own words (using the same sources is fine - just refer to them rather than copying them).
