Speedy deletion of Allen J Scott
A tag has been placed on Allen J Scott requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ehheh (talk) 23:35, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * as the reviewing admin, I declined to delete it, because the publication of multiple books is important. But see WP:COI. In particular, please read WP:PROF, and WP:FIRST, and see what makes a good article. This needs fleshing out a little. To demonstrate importance of the books, add citations to some book reviews from published 3rd party sources. DGG (talk) 00:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello Ajscott. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 02:57, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Allen J. Scott, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Global City-Regions


A tag has been placed on Global City-Regions 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. 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 Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. → Σ ⚑   ☭  02:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Carlisle, Cumbria. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:15, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Carlisle, Cumbria, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Solway Firth
Hello,

On several occasions now - I forget how many exactly - I've removed your book from the reference list for the Solway Firth article. In case you didn't know, the reference list is not a place where any and all books on that subject can be placed, but only those specific volumes which have been used while writing the article. As your book is relatively new, and as you have added it yourself, there's no indication that it has been. If you would like to contribute to making the article better, using your own book as a reference, then that would be fantastic, but please refrain from merely adding your own book into the reference list every few weeks, as it does not belong there. As someone who has published a book about the area you'd be well-placed to help with the article about the Solway and, I suspect, many others too. I hope you're interested in helping out, and you're not just planning to use Wikipedia as a platform for self-promotion.
