[edit] Rev. John Smith

A tag has been placed on Rev. John Smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Goodnightmush 01:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -Loren 16:48, 24 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Your edit to Evangelical Lutheran Free Church

[edit] Message posted on Wednesday, May 23, 2007

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Evangelical Lutheran Free Church. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites (www.LutheranHighChurch.org in this case) 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Evangelical Lutheran Free Church with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article Talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Evangelical Lutheran Free Church with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at Talk:Evangelical Lutheran Free Church saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

It is also important that all Wikipedia articles have an encyclopedic tone and follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Chaplain - Link to International Chaplains Association

Thanks for your edits to Chaplain, however I have removed the link to International Chaplains Association in accordance with WP:LINKS; if you wish to replace it please indicate how it falls within the guidelines there. I note that your user name is more or less identical to the URL of the organisation: if this is indicative of a connection with the organisation please be careful to keep to a WP:NPOV. Regards, Springnuts (talk) 09:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

... and again today. Please read WP:LINKS and leave a note on the article talk page if you feel that the link does belong there. Regards Springnuts (talk) 22:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
