Spam in HokieTracks.com
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on HokieTracks.com, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because HokieTracks.com is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting HokieTracks.com, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello,, I'm Kafziel, an administrator here at Wikipedia. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

One thing we like to tell newcomers is to be bold. By this we mean don't be afraid to join the rest of us in improving the articles you see here. Most Wikipedians are friendly and patient, willing to give you the same respect you give them, no matter who they are or how long they've been here.

It looks like you're the type who isn't afraid to dive right in, which can be great as long as you understand the ground rules. Since being bold does not include being reckless, many new editors feel that it's good to be somewhat cautious at first. It certainly helps to avoid conflicts with other users if you learn the ins and outs before making major changes. If it's a big edit or a controversial issue, you may want to look at the article's talk page to see if the issue has been discussed in the past, or to post a message to see what other editors think about your proposed change before you make it. It's important to cite references and set personal points of view aside.

Here are some links you might find helpful:
 * User tutorial
 * Help desk
 * Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
 * Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
 * Tips for settling disputes

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions by typing four tildes (~&#126;). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:/sandbox (the link will turn blue after you start the page). You can edit that page however you want without worrying about disrupting other articles.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. It's always nice to see someone else from the Hudson Valley join the project. Good luck! Kafziel Complaint Department 04:01, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Photo1-11-17-2007-20-36-23.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Photo1-11-17-2007-20-36-23.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.

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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. B (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of La Purisima Mission
A tag has been placed on La Purisima Mission requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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), 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.

 * Hi, I went ahead and deleted this article, since it was a direct copy of http://www.lapurisimamission.org/history.htm and as such was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy (see Criteria_for_speedy_deletion, rule G12). If you think there should still be an article on this topic, you are necouraged to recreate the article, adding information in your own words and sources which back up this information (for example, a summary of what that page says, and a link to it, is appropriate --- a straight copy is not). -- Deville (Talk) 17:10, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Jioneillpic.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Jioneillpic.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

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 uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Closedmouth (talk) 11:56, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
