Welcome![edit]

Hello, Scepticide, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Metal Safari, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Metal Safari[edit]

A tag has been placed on Metal Safari 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. 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.

October 2009[edit]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Metal Safari. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Morbidthoughts (talk) 22:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content from pages without explanation, as you did with this edit to Metal Safari. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Jusda fax 23:28, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re. Metal Safari, your help request[edit]

Hi there.

Please, in future, could you only use the {{helpme}} thing here, on your own talk page.

Re. your question;

I have been asked to make a Wikipedia page for informative purposes by a representitive of an up and coming band from Japan. However since this is my first article and I cannot seem to get the hang of Wiki coding my page repeatedly keeps getting deleted and I receive threats of banning for my shortcomings in this department which I find is more than somewhat unfair. If you could be so kind as to help me in the making of the article so that it meets Wikipedia standards I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you. (Scepticide (talk) 23:38, 11 October 2009 (UTC))

A. Please read the business FAQ

subject to those guidelines

B. Please make the page in your userspage first - click user:Scepticide /Metal Safari, make it there

C. Ask people to check it, with a further helpme, or talk to us live, with this

As always, make sure it is notable enough first, then if you write it, be careful to keep it neutral and to only use reliable sources

License tagging for File:Metal Safari Band Screenshot.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Metal Safari Band Screenshot.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.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 02:06, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Metal Safari[edit]

Orphaned non-free image File:Metal Safari Band Screenshot.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Metal Safari Band Screenshot.jpg. 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.
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) 05:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
