Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Valery Fedorenko has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj9okheia5e, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv6rhjj2lus). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 08:52, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Matt Furey
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Matt Furey, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://gama-fitness.com/about.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 06:41, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Matt Furey
A tag has been placed on Matt Furey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 06:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I've deleted the article as it was both blatant advertising and a copyright infringement. Mr Furey might be an eligible subject for an article, but I have protected the page from creation because this was the fifth time an article on him has been deleted. I would suggest that if you wish to create this article you work on it as a user subpage at User:World Kettlebell/Matt Furey, being careful to avoid the problems that led to this last deletion. When you believe it is ready to be an article (with links to reliable sources) ask me or another administrator to review your request and move it to article space.

Your username
DO you have any affiliation with any kettlebell promotional organizations? We just need to know. Someone has reported your username as possibly promotiional. Daniel Case (talk) 15:30, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

No, i'm not promotionally involved with any kettlebell organizations. I guess I could sign up another username/account since I'm new to Wiki. I do intend to edit a lot of the kettlebell and fitness related pages in the future, but have been learning. Thanks. World Kettlebell (talk) 03:34, 27 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Re. the message on my page: Thanks for asking.  Since this is a site which offers free documentation for practically any use, the posting of copyrighted material simply does not jibe with this site's licensing.  That said, it is more than OK and is in fact encouraged to use and to cite other websites in the creation of your original content.  In short, use copyrighted material as a source of information but not of words.  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, so for example, if I want to say "Matt Furey was born in a small town in Iowa, named Carroll.", which is not easy to make original or different from the statement made on http://www.mattfurey.com/bio.html I can simply say the same, but site his website as the source? I mean to say, if I try to change something so simple to my own words it still gets tagged as copyright infraction. It's such basic information, such as place of birth, competitions won, places he lives... Also, how to unlock this name "Matt Furey" and also "Matt furey" so the basics of this guy can be presented in an article? Thanks for your help! And where should I post these questions, on your talk page or mine? World Kettlebell (talk) 04:13, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A subject's own website is seldom a reliable source, although for something like town of birth we would probably accept it unless the matter became controversial. Our big problem is that people have repeatedly created articles about this guy which were shameless advertisements for him, drawing on his own writings and providing little or no solid evidence to back up his claims (his books were never on the bestseller lists, for example). -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:15, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

References need not be online, or in English
What we ask is that you provide full details of a reference. Thus, "Izvestia, 1997" is not acceptable as a citation. "Badenov, Boris B. "Mir i Druzhba, Gospodin Los." Pravda July 17, 1962; p. 2." would be, since anybody with access to back issues of Pravda could check your quote or citation. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi again. I'm afraid I can't be much help at this point; it's up for community discussion.  Best thing to do is to try and reference the article as best you can.  Good luck!  PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Good, thanks to both of you! So, with public discussion, the article will not be deleted, but could be altered as usual, right? It's just more detailed now since the public is "discussing" it? I also was concerned about using Youtube as a reference. His 1992 footage is there for the public to see. Is that an ok source? That is a Championship and an attainment of this Sports Rank. Thanks so much.World Kettlebell (talk) 06:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
 * YouTube is not generally considered a reliable source. The only things there which are anywhere near reliable are generally copyright-violating duplications of recordings from reliable commercial sources, and thus not acceptable (since we do not condone violation of copyrights). (You also can never tell when stuff on YouTube has been edited in some way.) -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:05, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

I did not post the one video that had music. You may delete that source I suppose. The other videos are 1992 sources of the actual performances that gave this athlete his titles. Can get much better resource than the actual performance/footage that makes the man the man. He is after-all who he is before Youtube or Google existed. On the conversation page someone sites Google as a reliable source. I prefer the live footage myself. World Kettlebell (talk) 05:28, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
