Welcome to Wikipedia!
Thanks for the call earlier. I see you've had an unfortunate starter experience with Wikipedia :-)

The standard welcome message is Template:Welcome - I won't copy it here, but have a read.

As you can see, if you cut'n'paste the text of something you've written elsewhere, the bot will pick it up and mark it for zapping, very reliably. I would suggest (a) contacting User:Coren, who runs the bot (their talk page is User talk:Coren) to see if there's some way to flag it as your own text, or (b) rewrite the text for Wikipedia. (b) is probably much quicker. You should also note on the talk page for the article who you are and where you're from (and on your user page as well).

If you can get a promo pic of Florence to put on the article under a free content license, that would be fantastic. This means you relinquish complete control of it (free content can be used, copied, edited and redistributed for any purpose - noting of course that moral rights, personality rights, mdel releases, etc. aren't covered unless expressly released otherwise), but can set terms people wanting to copy it must obey. See "acceptable licenses" on the licensing page on Wikimedia Commons. (You can upload pics to English Wikipedia initially if you like, not just to Commons.)

You should also wander around Wikipedia and fix any little problems you spot, get a feel for things and so on. Just don't get too addicted ;-)

Any further questions, please leave a message at User talk:David Gerard or email me - David Gerard 14:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Trcbaird! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 05:20, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Cutts
A tag has been placed on Stephen Cutts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. andy (talk) 09:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
