Your contributed article, Archduke Franzis Ferdinand


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Archduke Franzis Ferdinand. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ... disco spinster   talk  01:01, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Please go to one of these sites if you want to tell us about Franz Ferdinand's involvement with the Sea People. &mdash; RHaworth 01:39, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Your user page
Please see WP:UP where it states that user pages "...should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content." Since the content on your user page falls into this unacceptable category, I'm requesting that you delete the content. I will not delete the content myself, but if you do not follow my suggestion I will nominate the content for deletion and let the community decide what should be done. I'll watchlist this page in the event you have any questions. Regards  Tide  rolls  01:41, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The Tide was rolling too gently - did you see the bit about sea people? User:BewareofEric was pure vandalism so I have deleted it. &mdash; RHaworth 11:02, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I saw it. I was attempting a gentle approach, as you mention.  Sometimes I overcompensate in an effort to counterbalance accusations crumudgery and stick-in-the-mudness.  I agree deletion was warranted.  Regards   Tide  rolls  15:31, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
