Welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (music) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

Hello. Concerning your contribution, Rudi Protrudi, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.fuzztones.net/save/rudi_net.html. As a copyright violation, Rudi Protrudi appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Rudi Protrudi has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Rudi Protrudi and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 16:15, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Rudi Protrudi. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 16:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page, as you did with Rudi Protrudi, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 16:58, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Rudi Protrudi edit

 

A tag has been placed on Rudi Protrudi 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 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. triwbe (talk) 17:02, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

  • OK, beyond the copyright violation, the problem with cutting and pasting an artist's own page to Wikipedia is that it's advertising. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Also, you're his girlfriend, so you have a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. You should let someone uninvolved with the artist write the article -- that way, it's more likely to be written in a neutral tone. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply


Please reply edit

OK I now know which article you are talking about. Rather than keep posting it. Rewrite from scratch,in a neutral tone,but note that if your is your boyfriend then you have a COI and your work will be closely scrutinised. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:05, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I have unblocked you. But please do as I say OK. Reply to this message first Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:52, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you don't reply I cannot help you. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:57, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I guess, I have to reply here, okay i will use my own words to rewrite the text that I have permission to use... Thanks much!

Excellent! I've started the article and will be editing it too. Try looking at other musician articles to gauge the tone we require. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 18:05, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Rudi Protrudi has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bmyspace\.com' (link(s): http://myspace.com/thefuzztones) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!
