Your contributed article, Keep on Running (a song by Jackie Edwards)
[edit]
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Keep on Running (a song by Jackie Edwards). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Keep on Running (The Spencer Davis Group song). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Keep on Running (The Spencer Davis Group song) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. PinkBull 19:58, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Please note that I did neither delete your article nor did I nominate it for deletion. I merely redirected it to the Spencer Davis Group song, a move that you could have reverted by one click. So for complaints about the deletion nomination, please turn to PinkBull above; as you can see from her message, she must've been thinking that your article was redundant to the cover song article. Unfortunately things like that tend to happen and an admin might be found to restore your page, but I can't do that. De728631 (talk) 14:36, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
- P.S. It seems that you actually created two such articles with slightly different names, and the one I redirected was deleted by admin Anthony.bradbury. De728631 (talk) 14:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Please remember to comment on content and not on contributors. I understand that you are frustrated, but please try to discuss the matter without accusing others of trying to impose their will indiscriminately. That's not happening in the discussion about Keep on Running (The Spencer Davis Group song) - Wikipedia policies can be interpreted in different ways (well, some of them can) and if you disagree about others' interpretations it is better to say "I don't agree with you, because..." than to accuse other people of wanting to run the show. As you may have noticed, I agree with you that the song is misrepresented in the current article, and everybody involved is as anxious as you are that the information presented in Wikipedia should be as correct and unbiased as possible
That being said, it's probably better if I stay out of the discussion since you distrust my interpretations of how Wikipedia works - which is fine, and not a problem :-) --bonadea contributions talk 15:47, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Keep on Walkin'
[edit]"On" is a phrasal verb in this context ("Keep On"). MOS:CAPS says that phrasal verbs are capitalized. In this case, "Keep On" is the grammatically correct capitalization. The same would go for, say, "Turn On the Radio" or "Turn Up the Music" or "Keep On Loving You". Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:36, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter what the artist uses. We use what is grammatically correct, not what the artist uses. Also, there's no need to list the same Country Boy song twice on the dab page. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:46, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
That is ofcourse nonsense.There´s no such thing as grammatically, correct concerning the title of a piece of art chose by it´s own creator.The correct title is ofcourse and always, none less than what the artist decided it to be. A title is a part of the piece of art in itself.By " correcting " it to anything other, you´re violating the creators rights. Would you " spellcheck " titles that contain slang too ? or try to make sense in titles that deliberately or not don´t ? So, no " we " certainly don´t do so and in case YOU do it´s a violation.As for the [Country Boy] thing, I suggest that you just simply stop being foolish and accept that, as it´s stated in the entry, that the song is property of the aforementioned British rockgroup and not of neither Mr Ricky Skaggs, nor any other singer/ artist or whatever that might have had a hit by covering it.If you think there should be only one entry about that song it should ofcourse be the one stating the correct circumstances about ownership and origin, not as a sling-in notice in an article about a cover version but in the entry itself.using the term ( Ricky Skaggs song ) in the listing is ofcourse highly misleading,in fact more or less fraudulent.Flight714 (talk) 22:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
