Speedy deletion nomination of Measure photosynthetic rate 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 Measure photosynthetic rate 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 clear 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 {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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.

Sorry, I read your note that the copied article is a template which you plan to change, but copyright is a very serious issue for Wikipedia and we cannot host copyright material, even temporarily, even in user-space. You must prepare the material off-line. Also, note that minor changes of wording are not enough to avoid a copyright violation - see Wikipedia:Copy-paste.

Chlorophyll fluorescence edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Chlorophyll fluorescence, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.optisci.com/cf.htm.

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.)

Hello edit

Hi Zoe, thanks for your contributions - it's good to have someone working on plant physiology - there are certainly many gaps left to fill in around here. I was just looking at a few of your articles and though it would be good to let you know about a tool which is really useful for referencing. If you use write <ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Jahnke | first1 = S. | doi = 10.1046/j.0016-8025.2001.00776.x | title = Atmospheric CO2 concentration does not directly affect leaf respiration in bean or poplar | journal = Plant, Cell and Environment | volume = 24 | pages = 1139 | year = 2001 | pmid = | pmc = }}</ref> then a robot will come along and turn the reference into Jahnke, S. (2001). "Atmospheric CO2 concentration does not directly affect leaf respiration in bean or poplar". Plant, Cell and Environment. 24: 1139. doi:10.1046/j.0016-8025.2001.00776.x. which helps our readers to check where the information came from. I don't know if you have changed any of your preferences, but if you haven't I'd advise switching on WP:WIKIED in Special:Preferences > gadgets as it makes the code a lot easier to deal with. Let me know if you ever have any questions about anything. Happy editing SmartSE (talk) 15:39, 22 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Pride and Prejudice revert edit

Thank you for reverting the vandalism at Pride and Prejudice. Looking at you edit count I see that you are an experienced user. Might I suggest creating your user page at User:Zoe Stanyon? When I saw your name redlinked next to a major increase in content on my watchlist, my immediate thought was vandalism. Bluelinked user names are a good way to show that someone has been around for a little while. Also, user pages are a great way to let users know a little bit more about yourself! Happy editing and I hope you continue to Be bold!!!! Sadads (talk) 12:34, 22 March 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.

Sockpuppet investigation edit

 

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Steveadcuk, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
