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!

Del Saito Soke, founder of Traditional Karate-do Federation International and Saito-ha Shito-ryu
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Del Saito Soke, founder of Traditional Karate-do Federation International and Saito-ha Shito-ryu, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wtfskf.org/del-saito-biography.php.

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) 01:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Del Saito Soke, founder of Traditional Karate-do Federation International and Saito-ha Shito-ryu


A tag has been placed on Del Saito Soke, founder of Traditional Karate-do Federation International and Saito-ha Shito-ryu 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. red dogsix (talk) 02:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... To the person who "speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance", please do some research on Soke Del Saito.

Karate and the appointed Soke, Del Saito, by Master Kenzo Mabuni, the son of Kenwa Mabuni, founder of Shito-ryu, may not be "important" to you, but it is important to the entire karate culture and it thousands of Shito Ryu practitioners.

"Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." There was absolutely NO COPYRIGHT infringement as I WAS THE PERSON that wrote Soke Saito's biography and submitted it to various publications and websites many years ago.

So tell me, just what proof does Wikipedia need to allow Soke Saito his page as originally submitted? And who am I conversing with... RedDog? What kind of name is that? Is that a credible person working for Wikipedia?

Thank you,

Joel Lovingfoss

Hello Tomstar81, "submit an OTRS ticket"... I'm not sure what that is or where it is explained. "retain the copyrights to the material"... That would not be possible because I did not copyright the biography that I wrote for Del Saito. I'm not sure anyone would go through the trouble of copyrighting material that was written in less than an hour...? Anyway, it would appear that I should just write a new biography... however, the new biography would have to contain some of the same distinctions and history leading up to Del Saito promotion to Soke, head of the Shito Ryu Karate-Do lineage.
 * To get your published material on here without copyright flags you would need to submit an OTRS ticket to the OTRS team on Wikipedia and then wait for them to approve it - IF it is in fact true that you wrote the material and can prove that you therefore retain the copyrights to the material. If you are interested in pursuing the avenue lemme know and I'll tell you who to speak to about getting the paperwork for the OTRS ticket filed. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:49, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

After I write the new biography, is it best that I create a new page since the original one has been deleted by the red dog?

Thank you in advance Tomstar81... Joel Lovingfoss


 * OTRS is explained at WP:OTRS, and if you have any further questions about it you can ask for help, she's an onsite expert in copyright as it relates to Wikipedia, and would be in the best position to help you with that process. As for recreating the article, if you choose to recreate it you can put it back in the place it was before, but I would recommend that you create the article in Wikipedia's article's for creation process, as the people there can help you create an article that will not immediately end up deleted on Wikipedia. Essentially, its one large sandbox/draft space for people to create without the risk of deletion. TomStar81 (Talk) 05:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
