it is not a copyright violation, because it was taken from a Public Domain US government source, so, as reviewing administrator, I did not delete it. But the article really need ssome drastic condensation to be appropriate for a general encyclopedia. You can let the US Navy web page fill in some of the details.Pleasecheck  our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. DGG (talk) 08:50, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Warde
A tag has been placed on Andrew Warde 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 blatant 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.

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, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Saint Nicholas Society
A tag has been placed on Saint Nicholas Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Orphaned non-free image File:Alicesargentwhitlatch.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Alicesargentwhitlatch.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 06:34, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Frederick S Cozzens


A tag has been placed on Frederick S Cozzens requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. The problem is that the page doesn't have any reliable references which demonstrate that what is said on the page is true, let me give you my notability in a nutshell link:

But if you know of any good websites that talk about Frederick S Cozzens, or any books or magazines, let me know on my talk page and I'll help you get them in there. :) Banaticus (talk) 06:51, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

A tag has been placed on 599GTO, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hi there, Lightnign12. You seem to have attempted to create an artice named Lucy Donnelly and have linked to it from the existing Bertrand Russell article. Unless you are able to make substantive additions to your new article, however, it seems very likely that it will be nominated for rapid deletion. The article currently seems to have two sources. I wonder do you have any (other) reliable sources of information about this person which suggest that she was notable in her own right, rather than just a "friend of Bertrand Russell"? Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fordham, Bronx, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page John Archer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Speedy deletion nomination of ConnectiCare


A tag has been placed on ConnectiCare, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button 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. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NHCLS (talk) 22:20, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Johannes De Decker
Hi Lightning 12. I've tried to clean up the grammar and references on this page to conform with Wikipedia policy. Please feel free to check what I've done and if you are able to bring any of the book references back into inline references please do so.Civeel (talk) 22:05, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at RAK Ceramics, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:48, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at John Vernou Bouvier III. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 14:49, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to New York Wheel. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. 82.132.242.145 (talk) 23:41, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Sources are required
I was going to post a message here explaining that you need to include reliable sources when adding information to articles (as you did in this edit); this is especially true when editing biography articles. I note however that other editors have already left messages here explaining the policy, which is concerning as they seem to have been disregarded or ignored. In the future, please ensure you are including the requisite sources when adding or changing information in articles. Thank you, -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 16:47, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Clifton, Staten Island into Park Hill (Staten Island, New York). 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, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. 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. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:13, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
