User talk:Emilystapleton

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Carole Samango-Sprouse
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Carole Samango-Sprouse, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.ndcforyoungchildren.com/staff.asp.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Carole Samango-Sprouse


A tag has been placed on Carole Samango-Sprouse 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 clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 20:05, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

The Focus Foundation
Hello, Emilystapleton, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your edits, including your work on The Focus Foundation. I have added some maintenance templates on the article. Maintenance templates serve to call attention to areas of the article that need improvement so that editors may collaborate in improving Wikipedia content.

Specifically, the article needs to cite some reliable secondary sources that are independent of the Foundation and that discuss the Foundation itself, not just chromosome variation. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability.

Also, one section contains a list of miscellaneous information about X&Y variation. This information might be better written as prose, since Wikipedia's Manual of Style calls for keeping lists to a minimum. On the other hand, since the section in question contains general information on X&Y variation, it may be best to move the information to another page, which this one can then link to. See Building the web for more information.

Finally, if you are personally affiliated with The Focus Foundation, you may want to review Conflict of interest for advice on managing potential conflicts.

Again, welcome, and happy editing! Cnilep (talk) 01:57, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
