Cultural Linguistics
Hello, Sehovde. Thank you for your contributions, including copy-editing Ethnolinguistics. Please note that the term "Cultural Linguistics" used on that page is the proper name of a theory or approach to ethnolinguistics. It is therefore written with capital letters. I have restored the capital letters on the name. Cnilep (talk) 02:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Teaching Shakespeare Institute for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Teaching Shakespeare Institute is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Teaching Shakespeare Institute until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. JMHamo (talk) 18:41, 13 May 2016 (UTC)


 * FYI, I'm now editing the Teaching Shakespeare Institute article to remove the promotional tone and prepare it for merging into the Folger Shakespeare Library article as a subsection of "Education". --Eblakedc (talk) 00:09, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Now finished editing. Thanks for catching the typo! (At first, I was going to try to keep it as an article by bulking it up, adding external references to the national importance of the program, etc., then realized that it would be better as one section in an article on the "Folger method" of actively learning Shakespeare, and the Folger method's dissemination around the world... but that article hasn't been written yet, and is waaaaay more than I could take on.) --Eblakedc (talk) 00:53, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Sehovde, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Teaching Shakespeare Institute has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. CC-by-sa 4.0 is not a compatible license. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 01:32, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Margaret Kuenne Harlow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Conditioning.

Hammered Hulls moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Hammered Hulls, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Onel 5969  TT me 12:38, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Hammered Hulls
Hello, Sehovde. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Hammered Hulls, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.
