Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Whitfield edit

 

A tag has been placed on Peter Whitfield 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sorry that this is happening so soon after you have started out here, but unfortunately we cannot use material that might be a copyright infringement. In this case the article looks like a complete copy of a dissertation, and as such will probably be deleted soon. Please don't be disheartened by this, and I encourage you to carry on editing, but hopefully not copying material again! If you want help on how to write without getting into problems with copyright, read this. Cheers. Quantpole (talk) 22:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

 

A tag has been placed on New- Israel, Prophecy, and the returning Messiah- הַתִּקְוָה The Hope of Israel (Remixed) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Userfied edit

I have moved your article to User:Christopher1X/Peter Whitfield as it is clearly not ready for the encyclopaedia yet. It needs reliable independent sources and a complete rewrite so as not to appear like a personal essay. Guy (Help!) 18:48, 13 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • OK, this is getting old. You keep placing a badly-formatted bullet pointed list of random factoids into article space, despite the fact that it has been removed several times and you've been offered advice on how to go about fixing it. I see no evidence that you're even trying to learn what you're doing wrong. I have now protected the title to prevent you doing it again, when you have fixed it up you can ask me ort any other admin to move it back to article space for you.

Proposed deletion of Peter Whitfield edit

 

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

Fails WP:GNG. There is no evidence provided, or discoverable, of how the subject of the article is notable. Numerous directory listings do not meet the requirements.

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. Nuttah (talk) 20:18, 2 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Copyright abuse in Karaite article edit

I've removed the copyrighted material you've blatantly copy/pasted into the Karaite article. From the look of this talk page, you're not ignorant of this problem. Please cease abusing copyright. Geofferic TC 05:36, 28 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
