Greetings. I am writing in reply to something you have sent me recently: "Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. --DMG413 21:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Panosfidis" I believe you have written me this because I have deleted an arcticle. I need to explain to you what happened.I wanted to edit my userpage. But instead, I created an arcticle named panosfidis. This tag appeared about the deletion, which is tottaly logical as I had no intention to write an arcticle about myself ( I am not THAT kind of Jerk! ). Anyway I decided to delete it myself. I guess this is not some kind of vandalism. Anyway since you took the time to write to me I have two questions. I have written an arcticle about the Greek Author Anestis Keramidas. 1. How can I make the words Anestis keramydas, Anestis Kerammidas, Anestis Kerammydas, Keramidas, Kerammydas, Keramydas, Kerammidas redirekt to the same location? ( There is no other man of any significance in Greece named Keramidas. ) 2. How can I add a .jpg foto to the arcticle? ( I did upload one days ago named keramidas.jpg but nothing happened )

Thanks for the help with the article about Jews in Lybia Libya. For some reason I just can't get the spelling of that country in my head. I guess I should write any articles about it then. Well, thanks anyways.--Carabinieri^T_T^a_a^l_l^k_k 22:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put the cleanup tag on it because the page is one of the most difficult university pages to navigate and its infobox has irrelevant information in it that is not supposed to even go in it.

Hi DMG413. I just wanted to let you know that there has been a bit of work done to St. Andrew's Christian College and I was wondering if, in your opinion, it has been improved enough to remove the cleanup tag you added in March? Blarneytherinosaur 12:00, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply on my talk page. I like to ask the person who tagged an article to have another look before I remove a cleanup tag, for a bit of perspective. I'll take it off now. Blarneytherinosaur 01:57, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for bringing up that new article, I think it was in order. However, please elaborate or cite on how "jurisdictions levy taxes on illicit drugs". That doesn't make much sense, does it? (Patrick 09:13, 12 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

That's interesting, maybe another article could be created for those jurisdictions who actually levy the tax and give out stamps anonymously; also, if you have a few examples, they would be good to name in this article also. (Patrick 13:43, 12 May 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Hi DMG413, I'm just wondering why you removed a request for an article on BBC Select here. It was a nightmare searching through the page history to find the revision in which it was removed. The link was still red, and as far as I can see it's a perfectly valid topic for an article. 84.13.132.115 11:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your reply. If I put "BBC Select" into Google the second result that comes up refers to the subject of the article request. If you're familiar with the syntax used by many search engines you'll know that adding -committee to the search string would eliminate many of the false positives you turned up, and indeed when I tried this, I got many relevant results. I was particularly concerned about this removal because I had included a brief snippet in my article request giving some context. Most requests consist of the title alone, and I can well understand that someone going through the list to clean it up might have trouble knowing whether some of the topics listed were worthy of articles. Since I'd gone to the extra effort to point people in the right direction, I was pretty annoyed that someone had just taken it out without any justification. Can I request that if you do this in future you note what you're removing in the edit summary, and give a brief reason? This would make it a lot easier to look through the history of that enormous page. Also, I'm fairly alarmed by your suggestion that the topic was unverifiable because it didn't show up in a web search (even though, as I've demonstrated, it does). The web is not the ultimate compendium of human knowledge you might like to think it is. Have a browse through a decent academic library and you'll understand just how much stuff there is out there that's very worthy of coverage in Wikipedia, and that the web doesn't cover. Would it be too much to ask that you go through your clean up of the article requests again to check that you haven't removed any others in error? Knowing what I do of Wikipedia's editorial practices (I used to be an admin here) I suspect it might, but I think that you owe it to those people who have requested articles and whose requests you may have removed. Thanks. 84.13.132.115 23:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read

the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard

to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://info.loomissayles.com/bank-loans-looking-beyond-interest-rate-expectations. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing

.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
