Speedy deletion nomination of Amanda Harper

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 Amanda Harper requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amanda Harper. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi there, I've deleted the page as it contained virtually the same content as the page that was deleted. If you do feel this person is notable please source accordingly. Thanks for your efforts in creating the encyclopedia. Glen 12:43, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Uploading copyrighted material to Wikimedia Commons

Hello. Please do not upload copyrighted album and single covers to Wikimedia Commons and claim them as your own work when they are not. Copyrighted material must be uploaded to Wikipedia locally as copyrighted material is not allowed on Commons, with very limited exceptions. Even still, you will find that on Wikipedia, multiple album covers that are essentially the same design but with different colours fail WP:NFCC. Thank you. Ss112 15:17, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edits marked as minor

Please don't mark your edits as minor, as you did at Forever Young, when they are not actually minor. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit more significant than that should not be tagged as minor.

On another subject, I encourage you to create the article before adding red links on multiple pages. (And when creating disambiguated article titles for songs, the word "song" should be lowercase in the disambiguator—e.g. Forever Young (Bananarama song).) Cheers! —ShelfSkewed Talk 17:21, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

sorry didn't realise.

Disambiguation link notification for November 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Kirsty MacColl discography, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Real. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 06:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just fixed it now. OliverRoads (talk) 13:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:Megarama: The Mixes

Hello, OliverRoads. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Megarama: The Mixes, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:07, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Megarama: The Mixes (April 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mach61 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Megarama: The Mixes and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

April 2024

Hello, I'm Binksternet. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Madonna, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Binksternet (talk) 18:29, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that's fine OliverRoads (talk) 19:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
