Your contributed article, NW (band)


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, NW (band). 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 - Nightwish. 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 Nightwish - 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. Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 14:34, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

NW (band)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of NW (band), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Nightwish. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:46, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

This is your only warning. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at NightWish, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Ironholds (talk) 12:48, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Redirects
Hi Buffalo Kill, so it seems you've had a bit of a rocky start here! No worries. I think maybe there's just a bit of a misunderstanding about how pages and such work here on Wikipedia. You've been copying the contents of a band article and pasting it to the pages for the alternate spellings of the band's name, and that's not necessary. In fact, it causes a bit of an issue (though easily corrected, so, again, no worries!). The way the project works, if someone types "NightWish", for example, into the search bar, it will automatically take them to the correct spelling (Nightwish) via the redirect in place. By removing that redirect and replacing it with the text of the main article, when the main article is updated or changed, all these other copy/pasted pages don't get updated with it. There's also the issue that in copy/pasting all that work, the people who contributed don't get credit. Does that make sense?

Basically, if you go to a page that redirects to another page, just let that be. Make any changes you think are necessary to the main article. And if you want to play around with editing styles, there's always this editing sandbox you can play in. Let me know if you have any questions. Wikipedia can seem a bit complex when you first join (and even years later!), but there's plenty of help around. Also, apologies for the redundant messaging and warnings above. We tend to get carried away sometimes when trying to work down the mountain that can become the proverbial inbox. Lara 21:24, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

This is the English speaking Wikipedia
Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Kaïra Shopping to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It currently has been listed at Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you.

Nous vous prions de ne pas ajouter de texte en français à Wikipédia anglophone. Par contre, vos contributions sont bienvenues sur Wikipédia francophone.

Please do not contribute text in French to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at French Wikipedia. De728631 (talk) 14:22, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Kaïra Shopping
A tag has been placed on Kaïra Shopping, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:Kaïra Shopping. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 14:28, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
