Coolpix 2100
Rather than persist in creating a short article, why don't you expand the content about the 2xxx series at Nikon Coolpix series? You don't seem to be adding anything near enough information to warrant a standalone article. Feel free to ask if you need help with anything, or put helpme on your page and someone else will be along to assist. --Biker Biker (talk) 11:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Can I suggest you consider working on a draft of the text you would like to write in your userspace? If you click on User:Melty Morgan/Coolpix 2100, you can start working on it and then decide if you have something suitable for an article or a merge into a subsection of the main article later (see WORP). Note that for particular models of camera to have their own page, there would have to be significant material in reliable sources in order to demonstrate the notability of this particular product.

 * Apart from Nikon press releases and their derivatives (such as most reviews) I can find nothing to demonstrate notability for this particular model (as opposed to the Coolpix range). This link was the best example and it's just another review rather than stating something notable like, say, the first camera produced with a particular key feature. Most reviews in 2002-3 seem to talk about ease of use and low price, these are not sufficient for notability. Fæ (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Your addition to Coolpix 2100 has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Biker Biker (talk) 12:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello. I noticed that you added back the material from http://imaging.nikon.com, despite the above notification. The text there is copyrighted though, and can't simply be used on Wikipedia – you may use information from other webpages, but not sentences. Copyright is taken very seriously here, and to protect Wikipedia and its re-users, editors who persistently violate copyright will be swiftly blocked from editing. That being said, there are other concerns with this article, as mentioned by Fæ and Biker Biker above in . Could you please hold off recreating the article, and respond to the concerns there first? This is in your interest, too: You can learn from their experience about customs here on Wikipedia, and any resulting content will surely be improved. I've left you a couple of links at the top of your page. I would in particular recommend that you have a look at our WP:My first article page, it makes note of some pitfalls for new editors. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Amalthea  18:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mihir Chaturvedi
A tag has been placed on Mihir Chaturvedi 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Hi, me again. I've deleted the above article, for the reason noted: I'm afraid you are not (yet) well-known enough for an entry in an encyclopedia. That's not a bad thing, neither am I. I have one other concern I would like to discuss with you though. When you are on the Internet, you should be careful about what information you give out about yourself, since there are always people who would take advantage of such information. Can I ask you to have a look at WP:Guidance for younger editors and give me your opinion on that? For your protection, I have for now deleted User:Melty Morgan/Mihir Chaturvedi as well. I can restore it if you want, and can certainly send you the content of the page via e-mail if you want – your work on it is not lost. But I would like you to read that guidance page first, and give me your comments on it. Maybe talk about it with your parents, too. What do you think? Amalthea  10:33, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

June 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Cattle, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 13:03, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to June 10, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 13:05, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for not possessing the maturity necessary to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, see WP:COMPETENCE. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Tim Song (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:06, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
