Empty Yard Experiment
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Empty Yard Experiment, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.last.fm/music/Empty+Yard+Experiment.

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.) MadmanBot (talk) 19:27, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Empty Yard Experiment


A tag has been placed on Empty Yard Experiment, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 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.

Created the article Empty Yard Experiment last night, woke up to it deleted. Copy Pasted MY OWN description from last.fm and changed it a bit, but it was flagged. I had included verifiable references as well. Not really sure what I'm doing as I am new to this, but I've also copied the format from another page, but used that as a template for my content. Is that wrong? What could I do next time to to avoid deletion?
 * The reason why the page was deleted was because of a copyright violation. When writing for Wikipedia, you absolutely must put it in your own words that's unique to the Wikipedia article. In other words, you must start from scratch, not just change a few things here and there.
 * You can look at the featured content portal to find and look at the kind of format you should aim for in an article, and also other kinds of content (images, sounds, lists, etc.). I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @  04:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
