Your RfA

Hi there. I saw on RC patrol that you're creating a Request for Adminship for yourself, apparently; if I might offer a bit of advice before you get too far with it, I'd recommend that you not take it too far, as with a total of two edits to this point, you fall well short of the requirements most people use when supporting administrator candidates. Most requirements involve more than six months of activity here, and more than 2500 edits. I'd suggest reading the above links, getting involved with editing once you've learned the ropes, and working for a while before going for adminship. Cheers.

Trinity Catholic College

I've just written my first article titled Trinity Catholic College. Can everyone have a read and tell me if it's O.K for a beginner.....thanks

First thing, a tip: sign your posts on talk pages by using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ - this puts your name and a timestamp on your posts.

Second, this article is 99 percent copy-and-pasted from the college website. I don't see a copyright notice on the website, so I'm not going to blank the page as a copyright violation directly, but somebody else may do so at some point if they feel it fails the regulations for that. Please read the guidelines in the welcome message above, and take a look at the copyright regulations; copy-and-pastes of other webpages are not what Wikipedia is looking for. Instead, you may want to rewrite this article in your own words, then post that in the place of this one to avoid the copyright issues. Tony Fox (arf!) 08:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure about the process for sharing of information, to be honest. If you read through the copyright guidelines above, it should give you an idea of what to do. If you're still stumped, you might want to post a question at the Wikipedia:Help desk for more expert assistance. As for your question below as to the search engine listings, Google doesn't harvest links constantly, but when it does crawl Wikipedia next, it will register that article, I'm sure.

Replying to this edit

Hi. I'm sorry but I'm not certain as to who you are. I haven't left you any messages (as far as I know). Either way to answer your question, yes I do edit stuff on here, but not frequently. It seems that you've got a handle on editing things. Keep up the good work! If you want to know more about administrators, have a look at WP:ADMIN. All the best! - Akamad 09:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

I NEED HELP!

Usually when you type say "Trinity Catholic College" on google, the links would appear and a link for wikipedia would usually be one of those links. What do i do in order to make my article appear as a link when it is typed on a search engine such as google...?

copyright note

I see someone has already mentioned potential copyright problems to you. The article Trinity Catholic College appears to have been copied from the school's website[1]. Wikipedia cannot accept text like this as it violates the copyright of that website. I encourage you to use that website to produce an original article, rewriting it in your own words, but I'm afraid we cannot use it verbatim. I have answered your question regarding Google on the wikipedia:help desk. --Cherry blossom tree 11:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I have just been updated. I understand that you have implied that you wrote the original text. If this is so then it can be used once it has been verified. The process is at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission - basically someone would have to e-mail me (or another user) from an address assosciated with the website confirming that the text is released under the GFDL, which I would forward to permissions@wikimedia. Sorry if this seems like a lot of work, but we need to make certain that on-one's copyright is being violated. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 17:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Can i have your-email so that i can send the details about the copyright to you...

You should send the e-mail from an account associated with the school's website if that's possible and state that it is released under the GFDL. Thanks. ps, please can you sign future talk page comments by adding ~~~~ after your comments? ta. --Cherry blossom tree 21:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I've forwarded the email and will restore the content. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 11:19, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Play with Fire (song)

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks!
