Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Waxahachie Global High. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Terrillja talk  03:20, 25 September 2010 (UTC) please help me i dont know what i am doing wrong i am new to this site. Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. The text you copied is purely promotional in nature Terrillja  talk  03:41, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits, such as this edit you made to Waxahachie Global High. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing without  further notice. WookieInHeat (talk) 03:47, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

i dint copy off the site at all i referred to it but i put it into my own words. this time i have some external links and references.
 * I have moved some things around and added an infobox. Please stop adding the stuff about how the school works hard to make people succeed and such. That is the purpose of a school, stating such just comes across as spam. The courses offered are generally irrelevant, information about special programs is what is significant, having a calculus class in a high school is expected and not necessary to state. I think that you have good intentions, but I ask that you stop and read some of the links provided below in the welcome message first before you keep adding inappropriate information. -- Terrillja talk  07:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

stupid i posted where i found the information what else am i supposed to do! Your not telling me! can u at least tell me what i am doing wrong and how to change it because i do not know what i am doing.
 * Copying information off the school's website is not appropriate. duPont Manual High School is an example of a well written article that does not promote the school and is written in a neutral manner. -- Terrillja talk  04:00, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jpg.waxahachie global high


A tag has been placed on Jpg.waxahachie global high requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Removing Speedy at Jpg.waxahachie global high
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Jpg.waxahachie global high, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:28, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Waxahachie Global High School, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. Please note that we take very seriously our criteria on non-free image uploads and users who repeatedly upload or misuse non-free images may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. VQuakr (talk) 02:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Globalwolf.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Globalwolf.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 02:35, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Global high school.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Global high school.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 02:38, 19 May 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 02:38, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to upload media files lacking copyright information, as you did at File:Global high school.jpg, you may be blocked from editing.

Where did you find the A&M-Commerce football postseason appearances statistics?
Fkbowen,

Where did you find the A&M-Commerce football postseason appearances statistics? I was looking for that when I wrote the article, but I couldn't find it.

Also, because the Texas A&M–Commerce Lions football article is currently nominated for DYK, it needs to have at least a citation in each of its sections. Because the new "Lion Football postseason appearances" section is completely uncited, it will either have to be 1) properly cited or 2) removed from the article. I would greatly prefer to do the former instead of the latter, but we do need to resolve this issue and (one way or the other) make sure all the sections in the article are properly cited. Thanks!

I found the postseason results on the A&M-Commerce Lion athletics Wikipedia article, under the football paragraph. But you can also find it at http://lionathletics.com/sports/2015/8/31/FB_0831154147.aspx and look at each of the seasons that it says they went the postseason. Also try lonestarconference.org and look at history and results all time.

Texas A&M–Commerce Lions softball is now up for DYK, if you're interested
If you're interested in seeing how DYK works first-hand, you can follow the Texas A&M–Commerce Lions softball article, which I just created over the last few days and nominated tonight. Its nomination page is Template:Did you know nominations/Texas A&M–Commerce Lions softball, and you can see it listed alongside the other nominations at Template talk:Did you know. All you need to do, after creating an article that meets the criteria, is create a nomination page for your article and then list it on the Template talk:Did you know page. DYK is a great process for encouraging content creation, and it is pretty simple, not at all daunting, and generally a great place to hone your Wikipedia skills. And I'd be willing to help you along the way, if you do choose to nominate an article for DYK at some point in the future. Happy editing! Michael Barera (talk) 01:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! TJH2018 (talk) 19:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Texas A&M University–Commerce. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. TJH2018 (talk) 14:27, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from reverting my edit you are wasting your time. This is not the ONLY unreferenced piece of information on the article. I was the one that originally posted the information about the fountain being constructed in the first place. Fabian Bowen

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, as you did at Texas A&M University-Commerce, you may be blocked from editing. ''Please add a reference. Even if you originally added it, it still has to have a reference. Thank you.'' TJH2018 (talk) 16:33, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

This is not original research it has the proper citations within the text. If you click on both of the citations you will find nothing about a fountain being constucted in front of the building. Therefore you are the one that is adding unreferenced material and "disruptive editing".Fabian Bowen

Your recent editing history at Texas A&M University-Commerce shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.''The reference you provided has no reference to any fountain. Until a reference about a fountain is provided, the phrase about the fountain will be kept the way it is, regardless if you were the original creator. This is your final warning before a sysop gets involved.'' TJH2018 (talk) 19:42, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

First of all there is no fountain nor were there ever any plans for one, which is why the phrase needs to be deleted. It was my mistake when I wrote about it. They built a brick garden instead and I have added 3 references supporting that. Fabian Bowen
 * This is the first time you have said that there isn't a fountain. Thanks for being cooperative. Referencing is how Wikipedia keeps its wheels rolling. TJH2018 (talk) 22:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into Sherman–Denison metropolitan area. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Grocery Supply Company


A tag has been placed on Grocery Supply Company 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 company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly 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 "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, then please contact the.  DGG ( talk ) 06:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

I don't know why you felt the need to delete my article. Grocery Supply Company is a major convenience store distributor serving the Midwest and Southern United States and all of this was stated in the references on the page. I guess a major convenience store distributor is not "important" or "significant" in any way. Fabian Bowen

Speedy deletion nomination of Idealease


A tag has been placed on Idealease, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "Contest this speedy deletion".

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.
