Dragons

Hi Lucas. There's an article at List of fictional dragons where individual dragons are listed. The main article is just for a few notable examples. Thanks!

Speedy deletion of Spoorloos Station

A tag has been placed on Spoorloos Station, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD A7.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 16:07, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Algae

Please do not add {{Taxobox}} to pages that are not taxa. Algae, like marine mammal or fish, is not a taxon and so should not have a taxobox. Also, taxobox colors are set to specific uniform colors across kingdoms and larger groups. The standard colors are listed on the template's description page. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shrimp

Thanks for uploading Image:Shrimp in scotland.jpg. For your information, these animals are in fact Norway lobsters, not shrimps or prawns. I'll add the image to the Norway lobster article. --Crustaceanguy (talk) 23:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Homalozoa

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Homalozoa, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/echinodermata/homalozoa.html. 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.

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.

Speedy deletion of Homalozoa

A tag has been placed on Homalozoa 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Diwe

The article Diwe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

little content, little context, no assertion of notability/importance.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 16:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Diwe

An article that you have been involved in editing, Diwe, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diwe. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 17:37, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are Diwe and Daeva two different names/spellings of the same thing? If so, Diwe should just be a redirect to Daeva. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 03:22, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Maize. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. CardinalDan (talk) 18:02, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Automobile, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Big ben at dusk.jpg

The file File:Big ben at dusk.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused, low quality. Superseded by files at c:Category:Exterior of Elizabeth Tower.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 12:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
