User talk:XPatchx

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220 of ^Borg 04:24, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Roor.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Roor.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 04:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bearclaw (Glass Blower)

Bearclaw (Glass Blower) has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Tavarua

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Tavarua, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.tavarua.com/home/Island/island.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.

Image:AndyBrural.JPEG.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:AndyBrural.JPEG.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. -Nard 02:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

==Proposed Deletion of Radar Music Videos

Proposed deletion of Radar Music Videos

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Radar Music Videos, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

This article appears to contain no significant or encyclopaedic content, barring external links and a 'see also'

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Please do not take this nomination personally, having reviewed the article for the New pages patrol, I came to the opinion that it was of almost no content. However, I have no knowledge of its subject and may very well have misjudged, thus, if you (or any others) believe that this article is worth saving, please follow the above instructions. If you choose to do so, may I suggest expanding it in order to prevent such a nomination in future. Regards, HJ Mitchell (talk) 21:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello XPatchx! 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 insure 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 139 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

George Panagiotou - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 23:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of George Panagiotou

I have nominated George Panagiotou, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Panagiotou (2nd nomination). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Joe Decker (talk) 16:53, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that I botched the nomination of this for AfD, a tool I was using duplicated the discussion request. The correct link for the deletion debate is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/George_Panagiotou -- my apologies for the confusion. --Joe Decker (talk) 16:59, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of FranKo

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 FranKo 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Gurt Posh (talk) 10:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:AWAL logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nick Cave, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Californication (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello XPatchx, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to AWAL have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page.
Several lines from your edit here are exactly the same as those on a Kobalt Music Group press release dated Sep 26, 2017, here. Thank you. 220 of ^Borg 04:47, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The fin.

Hello XPatchx,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged The fin. for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

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

A tag has been placed on Donna D'Cruz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

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.

The problem with your text is that it was entirely about what they sell, which looks promotional, and doesn't show how it meets the notability criteria either as a company or a publication. What you need is more about the company/publication, such as its history, ownership, number of staff, sales or profits. Anything other than "this is what we sell". Try Company House for basic data, otherwise you are looking for mentions in reputable sources like major newspapers or other media, specialist music publications and the like. If it's as well known as you claim, there should be some coverage. I found mentions in the Guardian and the Telegraph, although I'm not sure they are much help, sicne they were provding comments about other services Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:39, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Declan J. Donovan see draft:Declan J. Donovan

Hi, you created the article Declan J. Donovan in main namespace, and there was already a draft existing for that article, and that had been rejected for creation in main ns due to lack of notability. I have deleted that page, and put all the text to draft talk:Declan J. Donovan, so feel free to merge it into the draft article as required. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest editing? Paid editing? Sockpuppetry?

Further to my above comment, I look at the contributions of POLYDORWIKI in the draft article, and I look at your text, and both look very similar. That would tend to indicate that there is sockpuppetry or paid editing occurring. Which do you think that it is? — billinghurst sDrewth 03:03, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly I see that there is another such statement years ago. — billinghurst sDrewth 03:05, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That's a rather limited pair of options, lol. I just love music, and do my best to source content that's not on Wikipedia. No connection with POLYDORWIKI, though I stumbled on their draft material to help me work on an article for one their bands. (It seemed like a good start.)

Barely Legal (DJ) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Barely Legal (DJ), 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. MrClog (talk) 17:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Barely Legal (DJ)

Hello, XPatchx. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Barely Legal".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 00:40, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Music Ally moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Music Ally, is not suitable 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.

Hello @GPL93, I could really use some help here. Are you simply saying there need to be sources? (Have added one for The Guardian, and can look to find more.) It's just that usually these sites refernce Music Ally's information and don't explain what it is. I've avoided using the company's website, musically.com, as a source, although as you can see from the article it's a big reference for other articles on Wikipedia. If you look at pages for similar companies, CMU and Music Business Worldwide, with the former pretty much only referencing itself, I'm having a hard time seeing how this isn't a good start to the article. Your help appreciated. XPatchx (talk) 13:59, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, first off I highly recommend you disclose that you have a conflict of interest. (Redacted) The previous version that Jimfbleak was deleted for promotional reasons and multiple editors have also voiced WP:PAID and WP:COI concerns and you have not been honest in your replies. GPL93 (talk) 14:03, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @GPL93, I see you are new here. Welcome! I'd suggest you review the WP:COI guidelines, specifically: When investigating COI editing, do not reveal the identity of editors against their wishes. Wikipedia's policy against harassment, and in particular the prohibition against disclosing personal information, takes precedence over this guideline.

Sad to see my talk page become a place for trolls. Seems a talk page is only a record of wrongs these days, and if you actually looked at my long history of contributions you might get a more balanced view. I won't take to spamming your talk page, but would ask you please spend some time reading the above and familiarise yourself with it before becomming more of a nusiance to the community.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Music Ally

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 Draft:Music Ally, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

David Wrench

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give David Wrench (singer) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into David Wrench (music producer). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
