User talk:Cummingschris

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on.

Speedy deletion of Christopher Hanlon
A tag has been placed on Christopher Hanlon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, 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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Christopher Hanlon
The deletion doesn't mean anyone thinks he's not real. The article is being deleted because it violates copyright law. You cannot copy material from other websites verbatim. Also, your name suggests you're the subject of the article which means WP:COI applies. If you intend to write a new version make sure you stick to the policies WP:NPOV, WP:RS and WP:V. If you create the page at User:Cummingschris/Christopher Hanlon you have the time to perfect it before moving it to the main encyclopedia. I recommend going to WP:DRV or WP:NCH and ask for feedback from more experienced editors before restoring the page to the main encyclopedia again. (Sorry for all the three-letter abbreviations, if you click the links you'll see what they mean and why they are important.) - Mgm|(talk) 11:36, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
