Thanks for your message, Salcan. As you can understand we can't include copyright text here. If you are interested in recreating the article by rewriting the text, then take a look at WP:N to make sure that you include the relevant type of information. It will be important to include some links to newspaper articles etc written about the event, for example, to show that it is a notable festival that has attracted attention. Good luck.

[edit] SBD (disambiguation)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of SBD (disambiguation), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: SBD. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

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) 23:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SBD

Your changes would probably be harmless, assuming no-one complains. Try to use the edit summary so it's obvious what's going on. Discussing this kind of move at the talk page first is good too—while you might think that SBD is obviously an airport, not everyone else does. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 23:39, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Now I've had a chance to look at it, I see that the guideline at WP:DAB#NAME suggests that SBD should be the disambiguation page, unless SBD already exists as an article. So the answer is that the existing structure is the preferred one, and SBD should stay as the dab page. Regards, Mr Stephen (talk) 07:56, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Bogus block notice

Since you are not an administrator on the English language Wikipedia, evidenced by your not being listed at [[1]], you must not post false notices [2] [3] on other editors' talk pages or user pages telling them that they have been banned from editing for vandalism. Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism. What you may do is post an appropriate warning, as sen at WP:WARN. If an editor has continued to vandalize after a full set of such warnings, you may ask for administrator action against the vandal at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Thanks.

No problem vandal whacking takes the combined efforts of thousands of editors and administrators and you are welcome to help. Try clicking on "recent changes" and particularly "Newbies' contribs" and then revert and warn when justified. Thanks. Edison (talk) 02:21, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
