March 2007

All contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User:Xyrael may be offensive or unwelcome. In case you are the user, please login under that account and proceed to make the changes. Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do, particularly to userpages. Take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thank you. --Samtheboy ^(t/c) 12:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be aware that when someone changes their own userpage it really should be done from their own account so it isn't flagged as possible vandalism. Thanks for clearing that up though! --Samtheboy ^(t/c) 12:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: July 2008

WP:DTTR please. A user doesn't get to that level of warning without totally disregarding much gentler messages. (ESkog)^(Talk) 20:09, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. (ESkog)^(Talk) 21:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

Hi Ben! Just thought I'd leave you a message on your talk page, for no other reason than to say hello! Anyway, reply to this if you want to. Isabell121 (talk) 18:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, that's no problem, I was just wondering. Thanks, Genius 101^Guestbook 20:52, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sheffield Youth Orchestra

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Sheffield Youth Orchestra, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.angelfire.com/blog/jowaho.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:15, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because of a copyright violation, I have unfortunately blanked the content of that recent article that you created. If you would like to know how to restore the content please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials if you do own the copyright of the work, or WP:Requesting copyright permission if you don't. Otherwise, you'll have to rewrite the content in your own words, so that it doesn't plagiarise from any web sources. Minima © (talk) 12:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Sheffield Youth Orchestra

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Sheffield Youth Orchestra requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, . Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. GB fan (talk) 14:04, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI conflict of interest guideline

see also: Wikipedia is not a soapbox and Wikipedia:User pages#What may I not have in my user pages?

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia in Sheffield Youth Orchestra or other articles, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉ 05:19, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: I realise I templated a regular here, and trying to promote the youth orchestra to which you belong is relatively harmless compared to many other vastly more blatant and cynical such endeavors from users far, far more clueless than you. Feel free to remove my message, I just wanted to clarify the situation a bit. – Athaenara ✉ 05:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Murgyandmini.jpg

The file File:Murgyandmini.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned, no encyclopedic use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:01, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
