Speedy deletion of "Ellaam Inbamayam"

A page you created, Ellaam Inbamayam, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Proposed deletion of Vincent Elbaz

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Vincent Elbaz, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image copyright problem with Image:Dilloncampbell.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Dilloncampbell.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Asher196 (talk) 03:00, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dillon Campbell

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Dillon Campbell. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Asher196 (talk) 03:05, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Image:Dilloncampbell.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Asher196 (talk) 03:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Image:Dilloncampbell.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing. Asher196 (talk) 03:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you please explain why I "vandalized" a page? ThanksGeoffreyq (talk) 04:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No I can't explain "why", but I can explain the warning. You removed maintenance templates from Dillon Campbell and Image:Dilloncampbell.jpg without resolving the problems. If you bothered to read the templates or the many warnings on this talk page, you will find that the image you uploaded does not have information on it's copyright status. I could have had the image speedy deleted as a blatant copyright violation, but I instead put templates on the image namespace to give you time to add copyright info and a fair use rationale if needed. Instead you just decided to remove the templates, as you did twice to the Dillon Campbell page. I tagged that article as having no references. A page with no references is essentially considered original research, which is not permitted on wikipedia. See WP:OR. Please read the templates placed on the pages, and follow the instructions given on them. Asher196 (talk) 12:50, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Dillon Campbell

A tag has been placed on Dillon Campbell 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. - Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:39, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for File:Jesusforesnic.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jesusforesnic.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

File source problem with File:Enricomimage.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Enricomimage.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NW (Talk) 02:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dillon Campbell

A tag has been placed on Dillon Campbell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 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. <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 01:24, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges.

I notice you reverted your change yourself. That's good, but it would be much better if you didn't insert junk in the first place. One problem is that lots of other sites regularly copy wikipedia pages, and it's possible that one of them scraped up your edits in the few minutes they were there.
