48px|left ↗ A tag has been placed on :Francis Wayland, Jr. ↗, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

{{center|'''''An article on Francis Wayland already exists making this newly added and short article redundant.'''''}}

Under the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article ↗, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> on the top of the page 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies ↗, for web sites ↗, for bands ↗, or for companies ↗. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

:Samuel Stillman ↗

left|40px ↗
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of :Samuel Stillman ↗, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.belcherfoundation.org/duty_of_magistrates.htm. 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) 00:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of :Samuel Stillman ↗

48px|left ↗ A tag has been placed on :Samuel Stillman ↗ 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 <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> 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. <span class="plainlinks" style="font-size:95%;font-variant:small-caps;font-weight:bold;letter-spacing: 2px;"><span style="color:#660000;">Soxred93</span> {{!}} talk bot</span> 00:15, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

25px ↗ Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles{{#if:Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District|, as you did to :Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District ↗}}. Your edits appear to be vandalism ↗ and have been reverted ↗. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources ↗ or discuss the changes on the article's talk page ↗ before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox ↗. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}} <span style="font-family:Antiqua, serif;">Hrafn<sup>Talk</sup><sub>Stalk ↗</sub></span> 16:01, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

:George Duffield (disambiguation) ↗

left|40px ↗
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of :George Duffield (disambiguation) ↗, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: :George Duffield ↗. 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) 22:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

25px ↗ Please remember to mark your edits{{#if:Bosom of Abraham|, such as your recent edits to :Bosom of Abraham ↗,}} as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit ↗). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' {{#if:|{{{2}}}|Thank you.}}  ''You may have this set in your Preferences, if you do, please unset it.''
