User talk:Njdemocrat

Welcome to my TALK PAGE

Please begin a conversation with a new section.

Joseph Cryan

There are elements in the material you added to the article for Joseph Cryan that are appropriate, but the wording and insinuations appear to be in conflict with Wikipedia policy on writing with a neutral point of view. I have attempted to rewrite portions of the material that are relevant. Additionally, some of the sources are either unreliable or non-neutral, and would be inappropriate for inclusion in an article. Several claims are made that are not supported by reliable and verifiable sources, which would be required based on the string claims being made in the article. Please review the relevant policies before making any further edits to the article. Please fell free to reach me on my talk page with any questions. Alansohn (talk) 03:59, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Your contributed article, James Kennedy (the former Rahway mayor)

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.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, James Kennedy (the former Rahway mayor). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - James J Kennedy (Rahway Mayor). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at James J Kennedy (Rahway Mayor) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 06:31, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rick Proctor

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 Rick Proctor 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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.

Re: Speedy Deletion of Rick Proctor

I had nothing to do with that so I can't say for certain why the page was deleted. I certainly don't remember seeing the article before it went. It looks to have been tagged for deletion by User:Sp33dyphil (at least they put the notification on your page) and deleted by User:Sphilbrick so either of them could tell you better than me.
Looking at the Rick Proctor page I see that Sphilbrick deleted it for being a copy of copyrighted text. If this wasn't the case, I suggest leaving a message on his/her talkpage. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 07:00, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Njdemocrat. You have new messages at Sphilbrick's talk page.
Message added SPhilbrickT 12:40, 29 September 2011 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Copyright issues can be complex, and Wikipedia errs on the side of caution. While works of the federal government are usually in the public domain (and even this is less clear than some realize), works of state and local governments are not necessarily in the public domain. Those entities can, and often do, assert copyright. Copyright is implied, even if not explicitly stated. At Wikipedia, we want to see explicit notice that material is PD, or has a compatible license, or cleanly falls within certain rules, such as some works of the Federal Government.

I don't see any notice on the Proctor bio indicating that it is PD, nor do I see any notice on the general site. If you are sure it is PD, help me out and show me something to support the claim.--SPhilbrickT 12:56, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Newjerseynewsroom logo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Newjerseynewsroom logo.gif. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM for deletion

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Tinton5 (talk) 17:22, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sue Pai Yang

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 Sue Pai Yang 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 importance 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 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. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Newjerseynewsroom logo.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Newjerseynewsroom logo.gif. 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. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 17:53, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Removing AfD template

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Sandra Fluke. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot  t • c »  01:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

1. I agree with the bot. Please undo your AfD template deletion. --Uncle Ed (talk) 01:27, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

The issue is decided. Check the discussion. The bot is a mistake. Casprings (talk) 02:33, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:James Devine 2006.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:James Devine 2006.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:40, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Puppets and political operatives

The contributions of Njdemocrate to Wikipedia are ripe with bias and political opinions. Approximately 90% of new pages created by Njdemocrat have been marked for and eventually deleted due to this bias and lack of newsworthy (not just blog worthy) references to factual material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.6.124.40 (talk) 00:38, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert M. Gordon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

May 2013

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Rahway, New Jersey may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "{}"s likely mistaking one for another. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:32, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
