Hi Dan, have you seen Shoreham-by-Sea? I think the two articles now need merging. Warofdreams 17:22, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I guess they do! The town is usually referred to as Shoreham or Shoreham by Sea, without hyphens. So I didn't find it before starting the new page ...
I'm new to this, so what's the best way to merge the pages? Dan
The best way to merge them is to pick one as the new title (I suggest Shoreham-by-Sea, I expect Shoreham will become a disambiguation page), and combine the best bits of the two articles into a new article there. Then, when you're finished, redirect the other one to it. You've written a good article, so its worth perservering! Warofdreams 17:53, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Electric Colour Climax, by Henkje123, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Electric Colour Climax is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Electric Colour Climax, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Electric Colour Climax itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 217:14, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I restored Electric Colour Climax, but I wanted to explain why I deleted it in the first place: one, it's been orphan tagged since August. Two, you didn't attach a hangon reasoning. Please try and do it promptly if an article is speedied, (usually you'll be warned) because I'll delete it promptly if it satisfies criteria and has no filled out hangon.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Soundwaves Festival, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.soundwaves-festival.org.uk/highlights.php. 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.
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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — DædαlusContribs /Improve19:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Soundwaves Festival 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 blatant 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.
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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

Hi - this article does not include copyrighted text so I'll remove CorenSearchBot's tag. I write for the Soundwaves Festival and am using the same text as a starting point, developing it in more depth for this wikipedia article. WorthyDan (talk) 18:00, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just because you're a writer for the publication, or business, does not give you the right to distribute the work, the work must be licensed under a GNU Free licensing if you want to copy the work, as of the moment, I do not see such a tag at the cited website, so I am re-adding the copyright violation tag.— DædαlusContribs /Improve19:51, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the Deletion template, and placed an 'under-construction' template, which will give you some time to expand the article, Cheers, --Fatal!ty(T☠LK)12:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
Help, see here. [1]
Never was a disambiguation page, before see[2] I wanted to add more information to the word Never, about funny sayings which express the notion never in different languages, like for example: When hell freezes over.
The page would looked complicated otherwise.[3].
I thougt I create a separate article for the word and keep the rest as a disambiguation page
About the article never, people agreed on that it was ok to expand it, see my talk page.
I did not wanted to make a dictionary of it, I just wanted to add funny sayings. .
I have nominated Alan Pipes, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alan Pipes. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found
Hi, WorthyDan, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron!
We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it.
If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Leigh until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. The-Pope (talk) 14:10, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
