License tagging for Image:100 1708.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:100 1708.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 23:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Padder
I've added the "" template to your user page (User:Padder), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as a personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as a way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Speedy deletion nomination of September Skyline
A tag has been placed on September Skyline 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics.

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), 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.

Conflict of Interest
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Talk:September Skyline. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Gpia7r (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to September Skyline. &rarr;  Dylan 620  (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 20:44, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I unblocked you, but buddy, this really is your last warning. J.delanoy gabs adds 20:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I apologize for patronizing you, but blanking my userpage is not an appropriate response. I don't know about those vandalism warnings or the conflict of interest tag, since I didn't add them. The vandalism warnings in any case are probably not warranted.
 * The reason I deleted the page is because the page did not say how the band is notable, or special. Please don't take that the wrong way. I am not saying that your band is inferior or anything like that, it's just that many, many people make bands, and if Wikipedia allowed articles about all of them on the site, it would just be crazy. So in order to for an article about a band to stay, the rule is the band has to have non-trivial coverage in articles by reliable news companies, or have reviews by major critics or magazines like Rolling Stone, a contract with a major label, etc. Unfortunately, I couldn't find much coverage about your band, so I deleted the article. If you can find some that I missed, I will gladly restore the article, or at the very least, have it go to a full deletion discussion. J.delanoy gabs adds  21:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
