Links

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. 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.

Trump Hotel Las Vegas

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Trump Hotel Las Vegas, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Trump International Hotel and Tower (Las Vegas). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

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.

Cut and paste page moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Trump International Hotel and Tower (Las Vegas) a different title by copying its content and pasting it into Trump Hotel Las Vegas. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is considered undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. In most cases, once your account is four days and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. – Toon ^(talk) 18:05, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, it's all taken care of now :) Wikipedia is a confusing place; there are so many policies and guidelines, most of which you could never possibly anticipate, and when you do something wrong, you get bombarded with messages from people and bots, which certainly isn't very welcoming. I've placed a {{welcome}} template at the top of this talk page, which has some links which you might find useful! The important thing is that you are being helpful to the project: it's editors like you and me who make this place what it is. If you ever need any help, or have any questions, I'd be happy to help out if I can, or point you towards someone who can. Best wishes, – Toon ^(talk) 17:59, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

warning

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Trump International Hotel and Tower (Fort Lauderdale)‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Hargrove Pierson & Brown

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hargrove Pierson & Brown, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.hargrovelawgroup.com. 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. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Hargrove Pierson & Brown

A tag has been placed on Hargrove Pierson & Brown, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Hargrove Pierson & Brown and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 21:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Attn: JohnCD

labeled spam for h p & b law firm page?

I was trying to create a page for a new law firm in boca and it was subsequently labeled spam and deleted. Can you help me understand how I can include information about this firm without it being considered "advertising"? I have noticed other law firms in wikipedia

The first thing to say is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing directory, and discourages attempts to use it as a vehicle for any kind of promotion. It does not aim to have articles about every company (though Wikicompany does, and would probably be happy to accept your listing). Subjects for articles have to be of enough general interest for an encyclopedia: the Wikipedia term for that is notability, and the requirements are explained in the guideline on Notability and in more detail in Notability (people) and Notability (organizations and companies). Articles need to be verifiable from independent, reliable sources - a company's own website does not count as independent - and such independent references, if substantial (i.e. not just listings) are the best way to demonstrate notability.

Also, articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves or their own organizations, because of the conflict of interest involved. In regard to other firms' articles - see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - there may be some unsuitable articles, but that is not a reason for admitting more. For more advice, see the FAQ/Organizations, in particular the sections headed:

JohnCD,

Thank you for your help. I appreciate the feedback and hope I didn't cause any unnecessary work for you. I will check out wikicompany.

Thanks again! --Jimmy (talk) 21:53, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Joh r hargrove attorney.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Joh r hargrove attorney.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 20:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —SpaceFlight89 20:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Joh r hargrove attorney.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Joh r hargrove attorney.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 file. 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. —SpaceFlight89 20:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Joh r hargrove attorney.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Joh r hargrove attorney.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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. —SpaceFlight89 20:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

File talk:Joh r hargrove attorney.jpg - The man in the photo doesn't own the copyrights, the owner of the website hargrovelawgroup.com does. If you have their permission, then ask them to forward a consent letter to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (see here). —SpaceFlight89 20:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the article text is also copied from the same website. —SpaceFlight89 20:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think WP:PHOTOSUB is the easiest thing to read, regarding that photo (which I just deleted). Killiondude (talk) 23:27, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of John R. Hargrove (attorney)

The article John R. Hargrove (attorney) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of significant coverage in independent sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
