Copyright assertion for Second Battle of El Alamein

Hello there -- I've just spotted your edits to the Second Battle of El Alamein article. My advice to you is that, if you are indeed the copyright owner of material that appears on Wikipedia, your best course of action is to visit this page: Wikipedia:Request for immediate removal of copyright violation. This page describes how you can make a claim of ownership of text that appears on Wikipedia, in order to have the content removed swiftly. In the meantime, I am removing your posts on the article page itself, but have moved them to the article's discussion page, so that people are aware of the issue. – Stuart. (Sjb90 | talk) 15:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Cassandra Vivian

A tag has been placed on Cassandra Vivian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 23:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Cassandra Vivian. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --Finngall ^talk 23:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
