Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. --Mhking (talk) 01:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ryan Charnetzky requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb- Me • MyEars • MyMouth -timed 01:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Autobiography articles
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.)  &mdash; KieferSkunk (talk) &mdash; 01:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Chicagoskyline011.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Chicagoskyline011.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You are welcome to edit
Hi Ryan. I realize that the massive response to your edits yesterday probably seemed rather overwhelming and may have come across as "You're not welcome here". I'd like to be the first to let you know that that is not the case - you are definitely welcome to help us edit Wikipedia and make it a better source of information for everyone. I'd just like to explain why your article was deleted so swiftly and why you received so many warnings yesterday.

As mentioned in the autobiography notice further up, we strongly discourage users from writing articles about themselves. The relevant policies for this are WP:N, WP:BIO and WP:COI - basically, there are rules about the notability of the subject of an article, especially in biographical articles (and most especially for still-living persons), and writing about yourself is discouraged since you have a vested interest in making your own article look as good as possible. In addition, check out "What Wikipedia is Not", which describes the various things that WP should not be used for (including as a self-promotion service, advertisement board, message board, etc.).

The general rule of thumb is that if you are a particularly notable person (you've been in the news, invented something, etc.), someone will eventually write an article about you, and should be able to back up any claims about you with reliable sources.

The reason your article was swiftly deleted was that it was easy to tell that you were writing an article about yourself, which is against the above-listed policies. 99% of the time when this happens, the person starting the article (even if it's not about him/herself) has not given any reason to believe that the subject is noteworthy, and that falls under one of the criteria for speedy deletion (failure to assert notability). And the reason that you received so many warnings and were about to be blocked was that you kept re-creating the article after it had been deleted. Doing this usually tells the admins that you're either not paying attention, or you're deliberately trying to disrupt or vandalize the project. We take this sort of thing seriously, but up to a certain point, we're also willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. We try not to bite the newcomers. :)

I'm glad you finally stopped before you got blocked. As I mentioned, you ARE welcome to edit - just stay within the policies and you'll do fine. :) If you have any questions, feel free to reply here or leave a message on my talk page. &mdash; KieferSkunk (talk) &mdash; 17:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
