Linkspam

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks. *drew 07:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Australian catholics magazine

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Australian catholics magazine, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

Jesuit vocation talk page

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Jesuit vocation, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. andy 13:04, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has very strict rules about the content of articles. The most useful page is WP:NOT which is a pretty comprehensive list of what articles should not contain. Some specific issues are also dealt with at WP:NPOV and WP:COPYVIO. Most of Jesuit vocation contained material that was clearly someone else's copyright so I removed it. I would have done a lot of editing anyway because in many cases the material was not written from a neutral point of view. When I'd removed the copyright violations there was nothing much left. I noticed that the main article on the Jesuits covered much the same ground anyway, and it's common practice in Wikipedia to merge similar articles.

There's nothing to stop you resurrecting Jesuit vocation provided the material is clearly distinct from related articles such as Society of Jesus, is neutral in tone, encyclopedic in nature and isn't someone else's copyright. If you do use copyrighted material it is essential for you to prove that you have the copyright owner's permission, e.g. by placing a link on the Talk page to a url where the owner has given permission for re-use of his material. In practice it's easier just to re-write it.

Alternatively, consider adding some material to Society of Jesus and linking to appropriate external sources.

File source problem with File:ConnectGensmall.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:ConnectGensmall.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 16:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 16:28, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Canberra Press Gallery, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Courier Mail (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
