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!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The travelling band, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.strummerville.com/the-travelling-band.

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.

A tag has been placed on The travelling band 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," 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.

The article is not for promotion. It is for data purposes such as MusicBrainz relationship. The band will fall into the notable artists category having been signed to a notable record label - Cooking Vinyl. They receive extensive airplay on BBC6 Music and have recently been added to XFM's national play list. Also, as previously stated, that page was deleted due to an apparent copyright infringement, when in fact the website found to be using the same text had been given permission by us to use it, as it was written by us. Again, this is not for promotional use.

I'm not sure what a Wikipedia page has to do with MusicBrainz, but my assertion still stands that if you are the manager for The Travelling Band, you have a conflict of interest and should not be writing the article about them. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:04, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you could tell me the difference between a fan putting up an excerpt from a bands biography and the management doing it? There are thousands of other bands and musicians on Wikipedia, would you have them all deleted? MusicBrainz is a database holding info on anything to do with music/artists/bands, which pulls in data from across the web and others have the ability to edit the information, much like Wikipedia. Maybe you should look it up. The information on the page can hardly be considered as promotional. It is all fact. There is no sell.

No one should be posting an excerpt from a band's biography on Wikipedia because
  1. The biography is very likely covered by copyright laws, and posting it here on Wikipedia is a copyright violation unless very specific guidelines are followed;
  2. The biography is very likely promotional, or at the very least, favorable to the band, which violates Wikipedia's neutrality policy.
Articles on other bands (the well-written articles at least) do not excerpt from the band's biography; they rely on reliable sources to create entirely new content independent from the band. And simply because you want MusicBrainz to be able to pull information from Wikipedia, this is not a sufficient reason for Wikipedia to have this article. For the record, I believe the band is notable (which is why I cleaned up the article rather than tagging it for deletion). My point with you is not that your band is not notable but that you, as their manager, should not be the one to write their article. As it is, the article is in pretty good shape; your best course of action now is to leave it be and let independent editors maintain it. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:34, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiDan61. Understood. Will leave alone and let others edit. Thanks for tidying up the article.

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 The Travelling Band 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. Reichsfürst (talk) 23:04, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Adamkmm. You have new messages at JohnCD's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Conflict of interest

[edit]

I see above that you are the group's manager. Please read:

When you think the article is ready, don't post it yourself: propose it at WP:Articles for creation, declaring your interest, and let someone independent decide. It will either be accepted, or you will be told why not. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:22, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deep records

[edit]

I don't think Google bothers to search our records of pagemoves, or our article histories. Those aren't "public information" like the articles themselves are. Currently, the only searchable-by-Google information which links (your username) and (the article which you wrote and which I moved to mainspace) is... well, the request you posted on my talkpage. So I'll blank that for you. DS (talk) 11:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
