Florence Mugasha

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Florence Mugasha, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.africarecruit.com/healthcare/speaker-florencemugasha.htm. 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. CorenSearchBot 08:44, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Thanks for the call earlier. I see you've had an unfortunate starter experience with Wikipedia :-)

The standard welcome message is Template:Welcome - I won't copy it here, but have a read.

As you can see, if you cut'n'paste the text of something you've written elsewhere, the bot will pick it up and mark it for zapping, very reliably. I would suggest (a) contacting User:Coren, who runs the bot (their talk page is User talk:Coren) to see if there's some way to flag it as your own text, or (b) rewrite the text for Wikipedia. (b) is probably much quicker. You should also note on the talk page for the article who you are and where you're from (and on your user page as well).

If you can get a promo pic of Florence to put on the article under a free content license, that would be fantastic. This means you relinquish complete control of it (free content can be used, copied, edited and redistributed for any purpose - noting of course that moral rights, personality rights, mdel releases, etc. aren't covered unless expressly released otherwise), but can set terms people wanting to copy it must obey. See "acceptable licenses" on the licensing page on Wikimedia Commons. (You can upload pics to English Wikipedia initially if you like, not just to Commons.)

You should also wander around Wikipedia and fix any little problems you spot, get a feel for things and so on. Just don't get too addicted ;-)

Any further questions, please leave a message at User talk:David Gerard or email me - David Gerard 14:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

December 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Director, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Q ^{T C} 11:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Director, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Trcbaird! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 198 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephen Cutts

A tag has been placed on Stephen Cutts 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. 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 - 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. andy (talk) 09:50, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
