Your contributed article, Sir samuel isidore salmon

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.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Sir samuel isidore salmon. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Isidore Salmon. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Isidore Salmon - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Acabashi (talk) 02:38, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Samuel Isidore Salmon

High Oldfirehall,

Just noticed your comment on my talk page - it was at the top, not the bottom, so I missed it... I've moved it down the page.

Administrator User:JohnCD reverted my speedy delete for Samuel Isidore Salmon. And yes, I concur with that reversion, and apologise for the tag. It just shows how good Wikipedia is at double-checking the many new article deletions that arrive in the creation log at at least one a minute at times on English Wiki - mistakes can be made :)

As recompense I have tightened the article and helped by adding stub templates and categories. If you need any help with any of your article's just give me a call on my talk page.

Best wishes, Acabashi (talk) 02:57, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas harding (writer)

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Thomas harding (writer), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Thomas Harding (publisher). 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. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. MadmanBot (talk) 22:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Thomas Harding (writer), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Observer and Guardian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 08:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
