The Dead Famous
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Dead Famous, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.thedeadfamous.co.uk/.

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) 14:39, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Dead Famous


A tag has been placed on The Dead Famous 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:58, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello, Squrtl, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you already managed to find a band that was missing an article, and started a page for them. Awesome job. There's one catch, though: you can't copy content from other webpages, generally. It's against the law in most countries, including the US and countries in the UK, due to copyright laws. As such, The Dead Famous might be deleted by an administrator; if that link is red, it's been deleted. Whether or not it gets deleted, you're more than welcome to give it another try. This time, use the source webpage as a reference, instead of just rewording its text. Just add this after a paragraph based on the thedeadfamous.co.uk, for example:

You'll notice that I put  in there. That's where you put the date that you accessed the website for reference purposes.

I hope you'll give it another go. If you need any help, please let me know; you can contact me on my talk page. Good luck! —Zenexer &#91;talk&#93; 08:35, 16 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I just noticed that you started the page in your userspace before copying it to the article namespace. Very impressive!  In the future, you can actually move the whole page, including its history.  It doesn't really matter when you're the only contributor, but it's nice to have the actual editing history attached to the article.  Depending on your settings, the "Move" link should be in the upper-right corner of each page, possibly within a menu. —Zenexer &#91;talk&#93; 08:41, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
