Welcome!
Hello, Dominiceckersley, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Egg (Ensemble), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 helpme on this page, followed by your question, 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!

Egg (Ensemble)
Hi could you add at least one reliable source (newspaper or magazine article) to the new article? Without it the page may be deleted, as right now the notability of that group is not established. Thanks, Dawnseeker2000   18:25, 18 August 2013 (UTC)


 * A link to the homepage won't do. We need a secondary source. See the "reliable source" link for examples. If one is not in the article shortly I'll propose it be deleted from Wikipedia. Thank you, Dawnseeker2000   19:08, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Egg (Ensemble)


A tag has been placed on Egg (Ensemble) 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —C.Fred (talk) 19:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Be careful writing about groups you're involved with
Hello, Dominiceckersley. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Egg (Ensemble), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:29, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Copyright
Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Canterbury Tail  talk  21:25, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

The information uploaded to my user page "Dominiceckersley" was taken from my own website "www.dominiceckersley.me" and is also to be found at "http://queens-cuny.academia.edu/DominicEckersley/CurriculumVitae". In both cases I am the sole author and sole copyright owner of the text, which is my own biography. If you wish for that text to be deleted, then perhaps the text should be deleted and/or re-worded. However, I would request that the pages "EGG (Ensemble" and "Dominiceckersley" are un-deleted.

OTRS pending


 * FYI, the article was not deleted because of the copyright infringement. It was deleted because the article failed to assert the significance or importance of the musical group. That criteria for speedy deletion (A7) is separate from the one for copyright violation (G12). Thus, even once the donation of the text is documented, the article could still be deleted for lack of notability. —C.Fred (talk) 22:12, 18 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, C.Fred. This has been my first attempt at creating an article on the Wiki platform. I will now set about creating the article first in my user area before uploading it to the live area of Wikipedia and will ensure the significance of the importance of the musical group is better established before doing so.

Musical tuning: external link
The link you added to Musical tuning asks for a sign-in before allowing the PDF to be viewed. See WP policy on links normally to be avoided, particularly item 6, "Sites that require payment or registration to view the relevant content..."

Is there is a URL for the paper which avoids that need to sign in? Thanks, Just plain Bill (talk) 18:51, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Would this be better? https://dominiceckersley.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/rosetta_revisited.pdf Hi Bill, I have actually checked out the original URL and it does not require a login so long as you scroll your browser window down. The of the window is filled with pdf information for some reason but you merely need to scroll down to get to the paper. Hence, I will re-add the link. Thanks though.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Musical tuning. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:14, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

The link directly above the link I added is the same type of link, it links to the same kind of article and to the same webpage of academia.edu. There is technically no difference except that the link I added for some reason requires scrolling to read it or clicking at the bottom of the server page on the "Read article" button. I am not sure here what the problem is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:45:EC39:5F01:D1CC:9C76:6C40:732 (talk) 07:47, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
