[edit] Angelini

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Angelini, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.angelini.it/about-us/history/tabId/1/channelId/-11127/pageTypeId/10700/channelPage/top_index_page. 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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Angelini

A tag has been placed on Angelini 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 article's 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] Zambon Tagged for Speedy Deletion

A tag has been placed on Zambon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the article 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. David in DC (talk) 02:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Zambon

A tag has been placed on Zambon 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

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 article's 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] AfD nomination of José Luiz Pacheco

An editor has nominated José Luiz Pacheco, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/José Luiz Pacheco and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:59, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Macau

Why did you undo mine in the article of Macau? please check the related references in case you feel doubtful! Coloane (talk) 13:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brazil

Pularoid, first of all, welcome to the Brazil article. A few of us have been working on it for the past year or so, so instead of just saying "read the talk page" as most people do, I'll try my best to explain why I reverted you when you added perfectly good (though unreferenced) content to the article. We have an ongoing problem in this article (as with most country articles) in that their are woefully bloated and much larger than the Manual of Style recommends (even with the additional allowance given to country articles). We spent a good amount of effort trying to cut this article down and beef up its sub-articles (Economy of Brazil, etc.) so this article could pass a Good Article Review. We did it, but we were forced to reduce many sections and remove some altogether. We did it with the caveat that we should not remove material altogether, but "relocate" it to these sub-articles. While, again, I think your contribution is good and should be included, The article's size is our main constraint right now. If you can, try to add a little bit of it to the History of Brazil section, and then add the main pieces of content to a sub-article. This is a compromise where you can mention pre-Columbian Brazil without burdening the article size.

I'll also ask that any text you add to the article be properly referenced per WP:CITE, so the article maintains its GA status. Thanks!--Dali-Llama (talk) 14:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Atlantic slave trade

Hi. Regarding your recent contributions to Atlantic slave trade: Please visit Talk:Atlantic slave trade. Several editors have expressed an interest in helping you start an article on Portuguese exploration of Africa if you can provide some sources.

You also might want to take a look at similar articles, such as European exploration of Africa, Portuguese Empire, and Evolution of the Portuguese Empire. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 01:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I might add that (while English-language sources are preferrable) it isn't generally forbidden to use Portuguese sources for such an article. If you could name 1 or 2 of those that's enough to at least get an article started. Malc82 (talk) 23:50, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
