User talk:Nodgih

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 possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and 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.

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!

International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.internationaltowingmuseum.org/content/history.

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) 15:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Arts & Education Council of Chattanooga


A tag has been placed on Arts & Education Council of Chattanooga 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Warfieldian (talk) 17:50, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, It's clear this shows possible importance, so it can not be deleted by speedy. However, at the very least add the information you gave on the talk p. to the article. And it really needs additional material also, such as details of its accomplishments. And it also needs 3rd party references providing substantial coverage from  independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. I advise you to do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process.  DGG ( talk ) 18:14, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Association for Visual Arts
A tag has been placed on Association for Visual Arts, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, file description page, file talk page, MediaWiki page, MediaWiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of Nodgih/Association for Visual Arts
We appreciate your contributions to the article User:Nodgih/Association for Visual Arts, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Donating copyrighted materials for more.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. It is also worth mentioning that the article would probably have been deleted even had there been no copyright problem, as it was written in heavily promotional terms.

 * The same applies to User:Nodgih/4 Bridges Arts Festival, User:Nodgih/Houston Museum of Decorative Arts, User:Nodgih/Southern Belle, and User:Nodgih/Bluff View Arts District. please be careful to make sure that your contributions do not breach copyright and are not promotional.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Nodgih/Tivoli Theatre (Chattanooga)


A tag has been placed on User:Nodgih/Tivoli Theatre (Chattanooga), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 encyclopedia article. 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 article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:Nodgih/Tivoli Theatre (Chattanooga) and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Further problems
In addition to the pages mentioned above, various other pages you have created have been deleted. All of them were clearly promotional in tone, and all or most of them were copyright infringements. They included User:Nodgih/LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN FLIGHT PARK & TRAINING CENTER, User:Nodgih/Coolidge Park and Renaissance Park, User:Nodgih/BATTLES FOR CHATTANOOGA ELECTRIC MAP & MUSEUM, User:Nodgih/Chattanooga Nature Center, and User:Nodgih/Tivoli Theatre (Chattanooga).
