This is your only warning. If you create an inappropriate page again, as you did at NANOGrav, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Please read Wikipedia guidelines on copyright before recreating the page. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 20:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

• Ignore this. I would like CactusWriter to explain why it was inappropriate. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:18, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
  • Actually... please do not ignore this. Perhaps I should have been clearer about what I meant by an inappropriate page -- I meant recreating the same page of copyright infringing text after having been previously warned. As the inappropriate page link states, Wikipedia has no tolerance for copyright violations in our encyclopedia, and we actively strive to find and remove any violations. if you wish to create an article about the subject, please be certain to use original language. Thanks. — CactusWriter ^(talk) 21:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

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 North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves 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 an organization or company, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Zachlipton (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Rescue

You deserved to North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves deleted for producing such a pathetic stub and even thinking that it would survive. I have moved some of your edits to User:Duncanlorimer/sandbox. If you can manage to produce a proper article which is not a copyvio and which contains proper references, then it will probably survive. NB. One posting on the above title but feel free to create a redirect at NANOGrav. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:18, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Duncan Lorimer

The article Duncan Lorimer has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Duncan Lorimer

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 Duncan Lorimer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://eberly.wvu.edu/faculty-and-staff/directory/dean-and-leadership/duncan-lorimer-ph-d. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.
