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 one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or 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.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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!

Bola Johnson
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Bola Johnson, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.uni-hildesheim.de/ntama/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=225:bola-johnson-6th-of-july-1947-6th-of-april-2014&catid=78:obituaries&Itemid=38.

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) 13:27, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bola Johnson


A tag has been placed on Bola Johnson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.uni-hildesheim.de/ntama/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=225:bola-johnson-6th-of-july-1947-6th-of-april-2014&catid=78:obituaries&Itemid=38. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Wgolf (talk) 14:17, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bola Johnson


A tag has been placed on Bola Johnson 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for persistently removing speedy deletion tags from an article you have created, despite being told time and again that doing so is unacceptable, and despite an earlier short block for doing so. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Copyright problems and notability
For copyright purposes, there are several reasons why it is not enough for you to just say on a talk page that you are the author of a web page you have copied from. The most important reason is that we have no way of knowing who you are: surprisingly often people create Wikipedia accounts and pretend to be someone that they aren't. In the messages above, there are at least two links to the Wikipedia page which explains how you can release content for use on Wikipedia if you own the copyright in that content: I suggest you may find it helpful to read that page. However, my advice is not to put time and trouble into dealing with the copyright issue unless you have first made sure that you have evidence that the subject you are writing about satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as otherwise you may be wasting time and effort on an article which is bound to be deleted no matter what you do. The particular guidelines which are most relevant in this case are the general notability guideline and Notability (music); also Notability (people) is of relevance. (I apologise for throwing so many rather long guidelines at you. In my opinion Wikipedia would be much better if about 90% of the policy and guideline pages were deleted, but as long as they are there, we have to take notice of them.)

One more point. If you do release your writing to Wikipedia, you will be giving permission for anyone in the world to re-use it, either as it is or edited in any way they like, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided they acknowledge where they got it from. Don't post anything here unless you really are willing to license it for re-use as freely as that. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:40, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
