Please be aware that when someone changes their own userpage it really should be done from their own account so it isn't flagged as possible vandalism. Thanks for clearing that up though! --Samtheboy (t/c) 12:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: July 2008

WP:DTTR please. A user doesn't get to that level of warning without totally disregarding much gentler messages. (ESkog)(Talk) 20:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

No worries. (ESkog)(Talk) 21:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sheffield Youth Orchestra

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sheffield Youth Orchestra, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.angelfire.com/blog/jowaho.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Because of a copyright violation, I have unfortunately blanked the content of that recent article that you created. If you would like to know how to restore the content please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials if you do own the copyright of the work, or WP:Requesting copyright permission if you don't. Otherwise, you'll have to rewrite the content in your own words, so that it doesn't plagiarise from any web sources. Minima© (talk) 12:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Sheffield Youth Orchestra

edit
 

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Sheffield Youth Orchestra requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,  . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. GB fan (talk) 14:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

FYI conflict of interest guideline

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Sheffield Youth Orchestra or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. – Athaenara 05:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Addendum: I realise I templated a regular here, and trying to promote the youth orchestra to which you belong is relatively harmless compared to many other vastly more blatant and cynical such endeavors from users far, far more clueless than you. Feel free to remove my message, I just wanted to clarify the situation a bit. – Athaenara 05:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of File:Murgyandmini.jpg

edit
 

The file File:Murgyandmini.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned, no encyclopedic use

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
