Speedy deletion nomination of Main Hoon Shahid Afridi

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 Main Hoon Shahid Afridi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2193364/. 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. 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. UBS (talk) 21:55, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

If you're tempted to ask me where I got information on Country X

Please don't.

The information came from the CIA World Factbook and/or the U.S. Department of State, with the information from the two sources combined when possible (sometimes the two sources disagreed on key facts and so it was not).

In this case, that would most likely be: http://sportsforum.ws/sd/factbook/geos/pm.html and http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2030.htm

I was doing that work in 2001; it's possible the facts have changed since then.

Dave Brubeck image

I replaced your image of Dave Brubeck in his article because I found (I think) a better one. It was also taken by Carl Van Vechten and also from the library of congress archive (so it has the same unclear copyright conditions).

Hmmmm, would you not explain to us a bit more about the first /. then ? It seems it brought many new editors. And who is Wil Wheaton ????

Otherwise, I... yes, I am fine. In case you did not heard (probably not), I will be a new mom in a few months, so, currently need more sleep (hence less wikipedia time :-( ). I should stop working this summer. Now that I have a house and a garden, I will enjoy just being in a rocking chair, et will try to set wifi line to work on wikipedia from the garden itself :-) Anthere 21:26, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Scottish English

Wikipedia:WikiProject Scotland wants to use {{User en-sc}} for Scottish English, and I have suggested they follow ISO code to use {{User en-gb-sct}} instead and allow en-sc instead for Seychellois English, per the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 having "sc" Seychelles and ISO 3166-1:GB#BS-only codes having "gb-sct" as Scotland, just like ISO 3166-1:US having "us-ca" for California and {{User en-us-ca}} for California English. Could you please take a look at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion#Scottish English and give your thoughts? Thanks! Taric25 16:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Demographics of Estonia

As a significant contributor to Demographics of Estonia at some time in the distant or recent past, I am asking you to look over the article for any factual errors that I may have introduced or overlooked in my recent cleanup of said article. I have no expertise at all regarding Estonia, but undertook to clean up the article anyway. My primary contribution was to create an introduction more in keeping with the provisions of WP:LEDE, and to introduce a more readable prose in place of the previous emphasis on tables and bullets. The current result is far from perfect, but I think it is much more reader-friendly. My concern is, is it factually accurate? If you are knowledgeable, please give it a lookover and make any necessary corrections. It would also be very appreciated if some additional sources could be added to the article. Thank you for your help. Unschool 17:54, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Watergate scandal

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Watergate scandal, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:33, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new WP:RFA. Until December 30, you can file a request at WP:BN for review by the crats. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 04:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Infectious disease in the 20th century

The article Infectious disease in the 20th century has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There is no purpose for this article. It is written not as an entry, but more a paraphrased review article. Anything that is covered in this article is covered in the history of medicine.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

ALLAHU AKBAR

A tag has been placed on ALLAHU AKBAR, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
