Speedy deletion nomination of Melanie Specht[edit]

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 Melanie Specht 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 person or group of people, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. TheLongTone (talk) 10:54, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your article[edit]

Hi there!

Unfortunately I had to remove your article from main space, as it did not meet the criteria for significance. However, I have moved it to the link above, which should allow you to expand and work on the article and then post it again!

Please bear in mind that the actress in question will have to meet our notability criteria for entertainers, and any claims must be verified by reliable sources. However, you can spend as much time as you like working on this in the above space.

I would also recommend using our article wizard, which takes you through all of the steps to make a strong article, with added feedback from other editors who can take you through the process.

Good luck, and happy editing! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 13:53, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 25[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chandran Rutnam, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indochine (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.

License tagging for File:Hawaizaadai Film Poster..JPG[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Hawaizaadai Film Poster..JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Chandana Jayasinghe(Sri Lanka). We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article According to Mathew, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

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.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. and Chandran Rutnam etc. Excuse the template. Do you have any connection with the person, their films, or any topic you've edited? Do you have any connection with User:AsianFLS ? Widefox; talk 08:32, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
