User talk:Rdactyl

Dear Wikipedia, I see that someone has posted one of our films based on our comic books on your site, I would like to add facts and info about it as well as adding pages for our superhero characters and our studio, similar to how you have Image Comics, Todd Mcfarlane and Spawn all listed on your site etc... This is the first time we have ever added a page, please allow us time to correct any issues. This is not meant to be anything other than a means to allow viewers who are interested in learning about these new superheroes and its artist etc. We had links in our first upload on this page so they can check out some of the info we have on them if they like, nothing is sold on their web site, it only shows the superheroes, also the write up only has facts and info about them, no opinions, nothing is written on it saying this is the best or this sucks or anything like that, just facts are listed. So if we remove the links, how will any of the kids know where to go to read and learn more on these new superheroes then? It is very hard for independent superheroes to get out there when Marvel and DC Comics are so large and over shadow the little independent guys, I'm just trying to give these new superheroes a chance. Please let me know if this is ok or what you would like me to do the fix it. Thank you for your time and consideration. Rdactyl 06:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC) (Rdactyl 06:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC))

Wikipedia content policies, etc
I'll take a moment to try and answer your paragraph at the top of this page; but please note that this page is primarily the place where others will come to leave messages for you, rather than the other way around.

At the moment, I don't see that the characters from the comics and films your studio is involved with, nor their creator, are sufficiently notable, under Wikipedia's use of that term, to qualify for individual articles. The subject of every Wikipedia article must stand on its own with regards to notability and verifiability. In order for your characters, creative works, and their authors to have Wikipedia articles, they must each meet that notability guideline, which (in general) is being covered by multiple, independent sources of good repute. For example, if your works have been covered in art textbooks, or widely-acknowledged art magazines, or mainstream press, then you can cite those sources in the articles you create and the Wikipedia community will take that into account when reviewing your articles.

As it stands now, you just copied the Ravedactyl: Project Evolution‎ article into several different titles with no substantial changes. That's more-or-less a violation of Wikipedia custom and guidelines, which state that one copy of an article is enough. For that reason, the titles you created now all point back to Ravedactyl: Project Evolution‎.

Regarding links, please take time to consult the external link policy and make sure any links you want to add will comply with that policy. If someone referred to your link(s) as spam, that doesn't mean you were selling something, it means you're adding links (possibly excessively) which violate that link policy.

Please also take the time to review the links in the welcome message below, as they'll help you become a valuable contributor to Wikipedia. --Darkwind (talk) 07:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 11:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Redux Riding hood
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Redux Riding hood, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://theoscarsite.com/pictures1997/reduxridinghood.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 09:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Spam in Code Name: Justice
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Code Name: Justice, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Code Name: Justice is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Code Name: Justice, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here''' CSDWarnBot (talk) 23:00, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Code Name: Justice
A tag has been placed on Code Name: Justice requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TallNapoleon (talk) 10:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently Code Name: Justice was deleted. I didn't realize you had recreated a deleted page.  I have redirected that page to Ravedactyl: Project Evolution.  Instead of creating a very short article with no context that simply says "see so-and-so" it is best to create a redirect to the main article.  I've done this for you on this one, but please be very careful about recreating deleted articles.  That is against policy and can cause problems.  152.16.59.102 (talk) 06:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Autobiographical edits
Hi. Your edits to Graig Weich were partially reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. The material you added to the passage regarding teaching classes since the age of 15, and the ideas behind Civilian Justice, were not found the sources cited in the passage.

Also, the word in question is eponymous. Not "Synonyms", which isn't even an adjective, but a plural noun, and a common one at that, not one that should be capitalized.

Most importantly, you should be advised that making edits that represent a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged, as it risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and groups being promoted, and if it causes disruption to the encyclopedia, the accounts from which such edits are made may be blocked. This holds particularly true for autobiographical edits, except in cases of vandalism or defamatory material. Wikipedia requires that its articles be written from a Netural Point of View, and not for promotional reasons, and upholding these principles is problematic when you are writing about yourself or someone close to you.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:28, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

CraigWelch listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect CraigWelch. Since you had some involvement with the CraigWelch redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 05:00, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015
Hello, I'm Shawn in Montreal. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''I'm issuing a level one warning and asking you to please *stop* creating redirects based on different spellings -- and misspellings of your name Graig Weich. You've created more than a dozen to date by my count, some rather unlikely. Please see WP:R, which explains that redirects should not be self-promotional, obscure, implausible -- or misleading, as there is at least one notable visual artist named Craig Welch.''
