Contributing
[edit]With these references at hand, we hope you find it easier to contribute to Wikipedia. Here's a brief synopsis of some ways you can:

- If you like working with images, you might be interested in the Graphic Lab. Similarly, this page shows you how to work with images in Wikipedia articles.
- This page lists the many types of tasks you can do to maintain Wikipedia.
- There are numerous WikiProjects that aim to provide coordination and collaboration on particular subjects. From this list, you can join a project and contribute within an area that interests you.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of St Frances de Chantal School, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.sfdchantal.org/school. 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. 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.)
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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of St Frances de Chantal School
[edit]
A tag has been placed on St Frances de Chantal School, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 14:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed you created a set of articles with different titles but with the same content, such as your recent creation of St. Francis Xavier Elementary School. This practice should be avoided because it can be confusing and can lead to content forking. If you wish to have multiple titles serve as search terms, place the content in only one appropriately named article, and redirect the other articles to that one. Although I have already fixed the problem, please be aware of this issue if you create additional articles. Thank you. P. D. Cook Talk to me! 16:19, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
