Speedy deletion nomination of Cde. Mayor Urimbo


A tag has been placed on Cde. Mayor Urimbo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.zbc.co.zw/news-categories/blogs-a-features/1905-remembering-mayor-urimbo.html -- Remembering Mayor Urimbo Thursday, 22 July 2010 12:42. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  22:01, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Challenged material must have inline citations
Please do not remove a citation needed or cn template from an article unless you replace it with an inline citation, as you did with Paul Tangi Mhova Mkondo. I have restored these templates. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:26, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

First names
In general, biographical articles refer to the person by his family name. You recently changed "Mkondo" to "Paul Mkondo" in multiple places in Paul Tangi Mhova Mkondo. I have restored the previous text. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  21:26, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Mugabe, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SADC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:14, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
