User talk:William Strock

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Prince Lestat
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Prince Lestat, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/74666/official-synopsis-and-artwork-anne-rices-prince-lestat.

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.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:53, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Prince Lestat
Hello William Strock,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Prince Lestat for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Amortias (T)(C) 20:08, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I've kept the article from complete deletion, but have removed the cut-and-pasted synopsis. Please don't do that, only the legitimate copyright holder can assert the right to license that under CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL.  And if you're not sure what that means, open up any editing window, and check the paragraph that starts "By clicking the ....", and the links therein.  Thanks for contributing the article, and feel free to keep continuing to improve the article, with your own words, sourced to, but not copied from, other reliable sources.  Thanks!  --j⚛e deckertalk 03:33, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
