Milford High School (Massachusetts)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Milford High School (Massachusetts), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.milfordpublicschools.com/Default.aspx?alias=www.milfordpublicschools.com/HighSchool. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Milford High School (Massachusetts)
A tag has been placed on Milford High School (Massachusetts) 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Steve Talmud
A tag has been placed on Steve Talmud requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Speedy deletion of "User:Kfailssc"
A page you created, User:Kfailssc, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is nonsense or gibberish.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Acather96 (talk) 13:14, 16 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Ddbruce, I know Kfailssc's vandalism was annoying, but please don't create user pages for other editors to "punish" them. It makes it more complicated for admins to figure out who's helping and who's not. Thanks. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Your RFA
I wanted to let you know that I've closed Requests for adminship/ddbruce per WP:NOTNOW. You may want to also read User:Davidwr/Administration is not for new users for a little guidance as to what to do now. I'd suggest at least six months and 6,000 edits before running again, if you decide you really want to be an administrator- Wikipedia isn't going to go anywhere! (And being an admin isn't nearly as much fun as it may sound to a newer user, I've learned this from experience.) Please ask me on my talk page if you have any questions.

Nominations for deletion
Please do not nominate any more pages for deletion, speedy or otherwise, without using an appropriate edit summary. Nominating a page for speedy deletion without any edit summary and without notifying the page's creator/contributors is particularly likely to cause problems.

File permission problem with File:Milford Hawks.svg
Thanks for uploading File:Milford Hawks.svg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
