[edit] Speedy deletion of Melissa Gill

I just started the page I havn't yet put down the importance of this person.

A tag has been placed on Melissa Gill 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 biographies.

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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Article no longer tagged for speedy deletion

This article is a mess, with no footnotes, bad links, etc. Please clean it up, and clarify why she is a skier of notability? --Orange Mike | Talk 01:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand where do you put the footnotes? and only one bad link right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Melissagillfan (talk • contribs)
You need to read Wikipedia:Citing sources. If you put the references in properly (right next to where a claim is made), then put the proper footer on the page, the footnotes will be generated automatically. (And please sign your posts with four tildes ~ .) --Orange Mike | Talk 01:32, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't put the "hangon" tag on an article that's not been nominated for speedy deletion! --Orange Mike | Talk 01:34, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh sorry it keeps telling me its getting deleted. Im wokring on the foot notes. Melissagillfan (talk) 01:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. What's on the page is a notice that you've got to improve the article to prove the assertion of notability. Don't panic; breath deeply; marshall your sources and your resources. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:49, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Im going to work on it. You can delete it or whatever. Ill try again later.Melissagillfan (talk) 01:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:N618330563 596923 7451.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Polly (Parrot) 02:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Melissa Gill

A tag has been placed on Melissa Gill 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.

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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
