This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lonnie Spiker, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cdconnection.com/details/_-_72_-_Lonnie_Spiker_-_Unapologetically_Honky_Tonk_/501116. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites 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.)

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 22:19, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lonnie Spiker
A tag has been placed on Lonnie Spiker 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.

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, 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. &amp;dorno rocks.

How do I create a listing?
Good Morning

I am an independant Country Music Artist with a few cuts that appear on Satellite Radio and TV. I would like to add or have an article added to Wiki. How do I go about this?

 * Here's a page that should be useful to you: Your first article. Regards, -- Amaryllis Gardener  talk 13:56, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Lonnie, the most important thing is do not write an article about yourself. This is called conflict of interest, because the promotion you would receive from having an article would be a huge personal benefit to you. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 15:00, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Lonnie, I partially concur with Oiyarbepsy. While it is possible to write about yourself, it is quite difficult. Being objective regarding yourself is quite difficult. All of us have an inherent bias regarding ourselves. Please read the conflict of interest guideline linked here and in Oiyarbepsy's comments before proceeding. Also, you should review our notability criteria for musicians and ensembles. You should also read Autobiography. If you wish to proceed, we can, but I'd invite you to work on the article in your sandbox first and allow us to help you develop the article before we attempt to place it in the main article space again. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 15:07, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
