This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of WVU Libraries, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: West Virginia University Downtown Library. 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. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.
It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of The Blue Moose Cafe edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Blue Moose Cafe, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

January 2016 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from The Blue Moose Cafe, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
I apologize. This is my first wikipedia entry. I am still learning. Thank you. Melissarogue (talk) 01:11, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, Melissarogue. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article West Virginia University Downtown Library, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 07:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright edit
Hello Melissarogue, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to West Virginia University Downtown Library has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 15:00, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Blue Moose Café edit
Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.Deb (talk) 19:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2016 edit
Your addition to WVU Libraries has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 14:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of West Virginia University Libraries edit

(See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please STOP edit
You must stop copying and pasting promotional copyrighted material from your employer's website, as you've repeatedly done at West Virginia University Downtown Library, West Virginia University Libraries and West Virginia and Regional History Center. You've had several explanations about why this is unacceptable on Wikipedia, and have chosen to ignore them. This is your last warning: if you post any more copyrighted text, you will be reported to Wikipedia administrators with a recommendation to block you from further editing. NeemNarduni2 (talk) 20:52, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- I do not understand. I am trying to form my statements in a neutral manner and just supply facts about the institution. I have added outside sources for reference.
- I just do not understand. I am trying to edit correctly. I mean no harm here. I am learning and making mistakes and then I am threatened with having my account blocked? I would really appreciate if someone could give me advice or suggestions on how to make my edits appropriately. Just copying and pasting the same rules to over and over from a textbook guideline is not helping. Your edit is wrong because of this list of reasons. I think I have fixed the problem and no, I am wrong again. I am just using trial and error. I have explained myself with all of my edits. I have worked with a wikipedia librarian who has been guiding me.
- I tried to have the Downtown Library page main name changed to WVU Libraries. It is all one system. The downtown library is not special. I had my request to change the name denied. So I thought, okay, I will just make a WVU Libraries page and have that refer to the downtown library for its section.
- I feel I am being berated for trying to make wikipedia correct and accurate when it is currently not. The information is not correct and some of it is out of date.
- As of right now the only issue I see are two sections on the WVU Libraries page. I have not made any new changes to the downtown library page. I just worked on the Regional History Center entering citations due to the request of wikipedia. I also fixed the collection list because I was in the wrong with the links. I am learning. I want to fix the problems. I am just using trial and error. Melissarogue (talk) 22:03, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
- I'm glad to hear that you mean no harm, but I have explained above on this page a few times about adding copying and pasting copyrighted text. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot host copyrighted text. Referencing the copied and pasted text with the location from where you copied it is not enough: you must write it in your own words. Thank you, NeemNarduni2 (talk) 22:13, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

Help if you would like it edit
Hey, I'm Chuy1530. I saw the trail of notifications on this talkpage and the noticeboard stuff and I'm sorry your Wikipedia editing career started out like that, and I hope that you decide to keep editing. I'm just a regular user, not an admin or anything, but I have a decent handle on Wikipedia policies, or I usually at least know where to look if I don't know something. If you've got any questions you can contact me on my talk page. I'm not on every day, especially on weekends, but I try to check in every other day or so. Either way, hope everything gets more pleasant for you around here! Chuy1530 (talk) 17:48, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Oh, thank you so much! I really appreciate that. Yeah, I've had a little bit of a hard learning process. When I no doubt run into another problem I'll leave you a message. Thanks again! Melissarogue (talk) 18:00, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
