September 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mick Rivette has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/mick.rivette (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mick Rivette

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Mick Rivette requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an 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. Vejvančický (talk) 10:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Mick Rivette

Hi there LAFunkLover! I saw that you added a {{hangon}} tag to a page which you created, Mick Rivette. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD A7. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:Mick Rivette, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do. Thanks - SDPatrolBot (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Mick Rivette. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 10:45, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

re:Mick Rivette

I respect your efforts, LAFunkLover. Here is an useful link, our notability criteria for bands and musicians: WP:BAND.--Vejvančický (talk) 13:26, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

BMI governs work of "over 300,000 songwriters, composers, and publishers with more than 6.5 million works." It contains almost any informations about your subject, just a name. This is an encyclopedia, the basic principles and rules of this encyclopedia are clearly explained in the links at your talkpage. I'm not a native English speaker, but I understand the rules quite well. I'm a clarinetist, winemaker, amateur theatre actor, footballer, successful beer drinker etc. However, I'm not notable enough and I can't spam this project with non-substantive informations. If I wanted to write about myself, I would go to MySpace or somewhere else. --Vejvančický (talk) 15:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
