Bienvenu
I've done a bit of work on the Mortemart article, sorting out some of the translation. (I've also corrected two typos at http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titres_de_la_Famille_de_Mortemart#Les_ducs_de_Mortemart ) For the earlier part, I've followed your lead in translating the translatable names, but have restored ones like 'Love' to the French - as they don't work in English. The later ones like Jean-Baptiste have been left in French form. Je vous souhaite un très Joyeux Noël, et Bonne Nouvelle Année aussi. Peridon (talk) 23:07, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Obviously biased and promotional articles are not required to go to CSD.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:19, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * while i am sympathetic, the peacockyness is risible, that's a peacock tag, and copyedit, not speedy. promotional implies they're selling something, which that article is not. Occoquan (talk) 15:30, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, 'promotional' can apply to charities and ideas too, in the sense used on WP. Failing WP:SOAPBOX can lead to charges of promotion, as, of course, can failing WP:SPAM. Peridon (talk) 11:52, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * good point. the problem with "advocacy" is that merely writing an article is advocacy of a sort, and so we see people who "don't like it" prodding, and then speedy deleting when you add references. it's a convenient excuse to delete content rather than edit. 71.176.49.208 (talk) 00:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Lynn Snyder, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.lynnsnydergoetz.com.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Anthony Sebok


A tag has been placed on Anthony Sebok 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.

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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  22:14, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
