UNIVERSES

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of UNIVERSES, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.universesonstage.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. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

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 nomination of UNIVERSES

A tag has been placed on UNIVERSES requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Cleaned up Encyclopaedic version

Hi, I have created an cleaned up encyclopaedic version which you can find at User:Mredruiz/UNIVERSES II. I have taken out the promotional tone (remember this is an encyclopaedia) formatted references, etc. If you are happy with this, I can move it into main space. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 23:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC) Actually I have moved it into main space at UNIVERSES. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 01:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, there is a problem with the image that you uploaded to Commons. An editor has found that it is copyrighted on the State Department web site. You will need to sort this out as it will be deleted in seven days if no action is taken. You can find out what to do at commons:File:Universes in Boston.jpeg. –– Jezhotwells (talk) 19:02, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is great ... Thank you sooo much. I don't understand about the photo ... I own it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Steven Sapp

A tag has been placed on Steven Sapp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

File copyright problem with File:Universes sketch.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Universes sketch.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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:04, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

As long as you provide sufficient evidence of Sapp's notability, it can be acceptable for wikipedia's standards. I removed the tag on the page for you, as you have provided evidence of his notability and demonstrated that the article is a work in progress. Good luck.

May 2010

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope that I don't seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. In brief:

There are four kinds of usernames that are specifically disallowed:

Misleading usernames imply relevant, misleading things about the contributor. Misleading names include those that imply you are in a position of authority over Wikipedia, or those that impersonate other people.

Promotional usernames are used to promote a group, company, product or website on Wikipedia.

Offensive usernames are those that offend other contributors, making harmonious editing difficult or impossible.

Disruptive usernames include outright trolling or personal attacks, or otherwise show a clear intent to disrupt Wikipedia.

I think your username may be a problem under one or more of these headings (you can find more details at Wikipedia:Username policy), and this needs to be addressed.

There are several options available to you:

We can talk about this, here - if you're not sure how or why your username might not meet policy, disagree that there's a problem, or are not sure what alternative to use.
You can abandon the contributions made under this name and immediately create a new account that meets our username policy. Happy editing!
Or, if you want to keep your contributions history under a new name, visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the instructions there.

Just so you know, if we can't resolve this on our own, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process. Additionally, user is editting articles to promote himself and others --moreno oso (talk) 05:24, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of William Ruiz

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 William Ruiz 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. --moreno oso (talk) 05:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

File permission problem with File:Mildred Ruiz 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Mildred Ruiz 1.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mike moral ♪♫ 01:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Richie Perez

The article Richie Perez has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:

place reason here

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Kamkek (talk) 06:29, 10 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But this is not a Biography on a living person ... Richie Perez is deceased. -- mredruiz

Speedy deletion nomination of Richie Perez

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Richie Perez requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 20:39, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of UniSon

Hello, Mredruiz. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, UniSon, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Ways to improve UniSon

Hi, I'm Mduvekot. Mredruiz, thanks for creating UniSon!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. There is a lot of information about the production that it not in the sources. This suggest that you may have access to information that is not publicly available, and hence not verifiable. Please see WP:COI and declare a COI on your talkpage.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Mduvekot (talk) 22:12, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

re COI

Mduvekot, I guess I do not understand. I do not get paid to put up any information on Wikipedia. I have the information because I am a writer, composer, actor, theater artist. Which parts are not verifiable?

Disambiguation link notification for March 10

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William Ruiz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Party People. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:42, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mredruiz. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Party People (play), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jmertel23 (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of Nobel Prize winners who have been dramatists moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of Nobel Prize winners who have been dramatists, 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. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 05:02, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mredruiz, G'day. Stand alone list articles do need independent, reliable sources to support the content claimed just like any other articles - see Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists. Once you have provide inline citations then pls submit the draft for review. Group source for stand alone list is acceptable. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 05:06, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Cover Image

Hello, My name is Mildred Ruiz-Sapp and I have been trying to request a change to the photo that was used for the cover image. It is not very flattering. I am wondering if someone might be able to change it to something else. Perhaps you can use this one [1] which I tried to upload; or this one: this one. I would really appreciate it. <3 MRS 18:50, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
