- Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring and sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Pew Environment Group, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.pewenvironment.org/about-us/our-story.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hello, I'm Yuchitown. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Nez Perce people have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Robert Meyers (MD) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Robert Meyers (MD), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

The article Robert Meyers (MD) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. noq (talk) 21:08, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Jonathanmeyers1, I checked the article in case I could save it from deletion, and I'm afraid I cannot find any sign that Dr. Meyers is notable by Wikipedia standards. Please look at this page summarizing the basic rule of thumb for a topic to merit an article—there would need to be at least a couple of extensive published treatments of him, such as magazine or newspaper profiles—and this list of special criteria for academics; unless he has been credited with revolutionary new techniques or has otherwise been highly influential in the field, he does not meet that standard either. Wikipedia is not a professional directory. If you believe he does meet the notability standard in either way, you need to quickly add references to the article and remove the "Proposed deletion" template, because it will otherwise be deleted in the next 24 hours. In any case, as was explained to you above, all articles on living people must have references; you did not include any. In addition, so far as I can see, after you first created the article, it was moved to draft space so you could improve it and avoid its being proposed for deletion; see the section above this one. Instead you appear to have created it again with different wording; and this time both the text and the image appear to be copied from this online directory entry, despite the fact you had an article deleted as a copyright violation some years ago. Wikipedia is publication, and its contents are free for anyone to reuse; copyright violations are a very serious matter here. If the article is not deleted, I will be notifying an administrator to revision delete the copyvio text. Please re-read the material at the top of this page and if there is something you don't understand, especially about copyvio, please ask, either here or somewhere else. We do need new articles, but I hate to see someone wasting their effort submitting unreferenced and copyright-violating material; it will not be kept. Yngvadottir (talk) 00:33, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
