User talk:Mouats

The article Mouats has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

The article you created was completely a copy of the same article in "The complet encyclopedia" I have shortened it to a stub, since it is against Wikipedia policy to cut and paste material from a different website, due to it being a copyright violation. By the way, we would normally spell the title "The Complete Encyclopedia" in English, so you might recommend a change, unless the intention was to use a unique spelling. The main page of that encyclopedia gives the impression that you may be the main editor, so perhaps you can give permission for the copying of the information to Wikipedia. But it also says that all content in "The complet encyclopedia" is copyrighted and all rights are reserved. It will still need some translation of words like "wilaya" and "daïra" into English so we know what is referred to. It also needs many words capitalized. In the English language Wikipedia, information should be verifiable by reference to reliable sources, and a user-created encyclopedia like Wikipedia or "The complet encyclopedia" is not considered a reliable source. A government census, a geography or history book, or a magazine of general circulation, even if not in English, would be considered reliable sources. Thanks for your contributions. Please do not add random links to "The complet encyclopedia" in various articles where it is inappropriate, because that is against our guideline WP:LINKSPAM. Edison (talk) 15:55, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well potentially being penalized by search engines.
