Image copyright problem with Image:BOB CRANMER-1.pdf
Thanks for uploading Image:BOB CRANMER-1.pdf. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigDT 02:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, 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;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. FYI, the article looks OK, but please be careful when editing it in the future. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Bob Cranmer marked for deletion
A tag has been placed on Bob Cranmer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ol Yeller '''Talktome 06:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Per a discussion on the page's talk page, I have removed the speedy deletion tag and taken the discussion to AfD. The link is above.

AfD Nomination: Bob Cranmer
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Bob Cranmer meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Bob Cranmer. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Ol Yeller '''Talktome 11:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Bob Cranmer
Hey Cranmr. I see that you're fairly new to Wikipedia and I wanted to make you aware of some policies so that you can avoid any possible issues later on.


 * WP:BLPEDIT - BLP stands for Biography of a Living Person. The article that you've been edit is obviously that of a living person.  This policy basically says that Wikipedia strongly discourages someone from writing about themselves as the article could become a WP:Autobiography which would cause a conflict of interest.
 * WP:SPA - SPA stand for single purpose account. Since the name of this account is the same as essentially the only article that you've been editing, it could easily be considered a single purpose account.  While this doesn't constitute any kind of action to remove your edits or ban/block you, it gives other editors a good reason to think that all of your edits will conflict of with the interest of the non-point-of-view goal of Wikipedia.

So essentially, if you are Bob Cranmer, I suggest using the article's talk page to suggest additions to the article. Also, you can post on my talk page or the talk page of any other editor involved with the article and suggest additions. Like I said, working on the article yourself and only editing the article that is so similar to your username is allowed but discouraged. If you're not Bob Cranmer, then I suggest making a new account name. Feel free to respond here if you have any questions.

On a side note, your edits seem to be well thought out and referenced. Good work for such a new editor. Ol Yeller '''Talktome 16:07, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
