BLACK HORSE WESTERNS

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of BLACK HORSE WESTERNS, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://website.lineone.net/~adam_and_lynne. 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.

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.

Speedy deletion of Levi summer

A tag has been placed on Levi summer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TN‑X-Man 19:08, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wild Bill Williams (novel)

Hello Garydobbs,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Wild Bill Williams (novel), may be copied from http://tainted-archive.blogspot.com/2012/09/wild-bills-page.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 11:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hello, Garydobbs. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you appear to be the author and that you have added a lot of articles that pertain to you. Please be aware that this is a conflict of interest and while it isn't against the rules, it is discouraged. I also noticed that many of the articles had notability concerns, which is why I nominated them for deletion. I would really like to recommend that you read up on WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:GNG, and WP:NBOOK before adding anything else about yourself to Wikipedia. It might be better if you go through one of the applicable WikiProjects rather than continue to add information about yourself to ensure that things are properly sourced.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
