Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Waldstock Festival UK do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Your edit here to Waldstock Festival UK was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/WaldstockUK) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Waldstock Festival UK


A tag has been placed on Waldstock Festival UK, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Kevin (talk) 09:31, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Waldstock Festival UK
Hi. I saw a post of your s somewhere else so  I  thought  I'd try  and answer your questions here. This page is still very  much  in  danger of deletion. The event appears to be insufficiently  notable for an inclusion  in  an encyclopedia. To assert notability, you  must  find independent sources that  have found it  interesting  enough  to  write extensively  about  it, preferably  on  a national level in  the established printed media,  or a TV documentary  dedicated to  it. Fleeting mentions in  other articles will  not  satisfy  Wikipedia criteria. What you  must  do  is remove all  the disallowed references  to  the social  networking  sites such  as MySpace, FaceBook, Twitter, etc, and to  the festival's own website if it  has one. See what  you're left  with, then take enough  time to  read thoroughly  through these Wikipedia policy  pages: If the event then meets the criteria, you  must  find the kind of sources that  are stipulated. Hope this helps, and if you need further assistance, don't hesitate to  ask  me on  my  talk  page. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 12:40, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * I was not aware that fb and myspace links were not acceptable, but have now removed them as such. I will soon have a number of notable independent sources as I know there are some big regional publications who wish to write articles about the festival.

 * Thanks for looking into  this. Please be absolutely  sure to  follow the links I included in  my  message above, because it  seems unlikely  that  there are going  to  be any major national  press articles or TV documentaries about  this event  in  the immediate future. To  avoid deletion, sources are needed now (right  now), or we can transfer the article to  your user space for a very  short time until  the awaited major press reports have been written. Please note also  that  according  to  your recent  statement, you  should not  be the creator of this article or be editing  it. See WP:COI.
