January 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to UFC 126, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you. Carmichael95^{If there was a problem yo I'll solve it} 20:17, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Melvin Burris[edit]

The article Melvin Burris has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:12, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Melvin Burris for deletion[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Melvin Burris is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Melvin Burris until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:59, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly states in the AfD tag "this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed". You are at liberty to contribute to the AfD discussion and have you considered the possibility of adding further references to the article? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:40, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, TornEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! JohnCD (talk) 21:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The links above will tell you more about contributing. WP:Your first article is a useful start. Please note also that, in order to maintain a WP:Neutral point of view, it is preferred that people do not edit about subjects where they have a WP:Conflict of interest such as a family connection. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:14, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

November 2011[edit]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Lou Albano. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Shearonink (talk) 01:14, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Chris Leben. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to a loss of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Shearonink (talk) 01:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Several images you added to WP:Commons and then subsequently used in several articles are problematic as they appeared elsewhere on the Internet first. Please refer to the Instructions below for ideas on how to resolve these problems. Thank you, Shearonink (talk) 01:26, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Imaging instructions[edit]

To use a picture on Wikipedia, we need permission from whoever owns it.

If it is your OWN picture - then you can just upload it yourself, at "Commons", saying "It is entirely my own work" - at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Upload .
If it is NOT YOURS, then the owner can give permission in two ways;

A) They could put it on a website (flickr, or their own site) with an appropriate licence, such as "Public Domain" or "Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike" (that is an option in flickr)

B) They could email us permission. You could ask them to do that, by sending them an email saying something like:

"Hi, I've written a page on Wikipedia, and I'd really like to add a picture - but as Wikipedia is FREE, we can only use freely-licenced pictures. If you have any which you can give permission for, please send me an email back with the text below, and the picture(s) attached."

-Then add a copy of this: http://enwp.org/user:chzz/help/myboilerplate (having filled the form out)

-And send the email (attached picture file + completed form) to: permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

If any of your questions about how to insert images into an article aren't answered in these instructions, please refer to Help:Files and to Help:Contents/Images and media for a master-listing of all pertinent image-use links.
Hope this helps, Shearonink (talk) 01:27, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
