A Modern courtesan has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this book is not notable enough for inclusion. See Wikipedia:Notability for the relevant concerns. If you can address these concerns by editing the article, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If the tag is removed without the article being improved, the article may still face deletion through debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. NickelShoe 02:55, 21 February 2006 (UTC) reply

• Another editor objected to the proposed deletion of A Modern courtesan, and I have just listed it at Articles for Deletion. There is a link to the debate on the A Modern courtesan page, if you wish to contribute. Mangojuice 21:49, 21 February 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello. I notice that the content that you added for Jean Webster is copied directly from specialcollections.vassar.edu/webster/webster_bio.html, and that your Robert Barr content is from www.online-literature.com/robert-barr/ . I believe there are copyright problems with copying this content unless you have permission to do so. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/copyvio. Do you have permission? -- Slp1 19:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the various articles listed above, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing!

Hello again. You have previously been warned that we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please stop adding copyrighted text to articles as you did to Émile Gaboriau. Fuhghettaboutit 23:10, 20 May 2006 (UTC) reply

Please write your own text. Just found another of your cut and paste jobs in the article Sisley and noticed yet another that was reverted by a different editor in the article Ellen Wood. The nature of posting copyrighted text implies to me that that you are attempting to make a useful contribution, but are going about it in the wrong way, as opposed to the numerous vandals who just want to disrupt. However, your predilection is in some ways more insidious--it's harder to spot, may give rise to legal liability and may cause many people extra work if they spend hours adding to your copyright violation text and then it all needs to be erased. Please consider some other means of contributing. If writing articles is not for you, there are many other tasks that are useful. Check out Wikipedia:Community Portal for some of them. -- Fuhghettaboutit 22:19, 2 June 2006 (UTC) reply

Bonjour, Lfabre. Merci pour toutes vos contributions à Wikipedia. Malheureusement, vos contributions sont souvent supprimées par d’autres utilisateurs, parce que vous ne devez pas faire une copie-coller des textes qui viennent d’ailleurs sur l'internet. Vous devez écrire les textes vous-même. Par exemple, le texte que vous avez ajouté à Cold Cream vient directement de http://spaindex.com/HomeSpa/HoneyColdCream.htm. Ceci n'est pas permis, parce qu'il peut causer des problèmes légaux pour Wikipedia. Désolé pour mes erreurs de grammaires etc, mais j'espère que vous comprenez mieux la situation et que vous ne feriez pas d’autres copie-collers. -- Slp1 22:33, 20 June 2006 (UTC) reply

If you continue to post copyright violations, you will be blocked permanently. -- Zanimum 19:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC) reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the The Stoic article, but 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.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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 irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Slp1 12:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC) reply

This also applies for The Financier. DO NOT COPY AND PASTE CONTENT FROM OTHER SITES. ALL CONTENT YOU ADD TO WIKIPEDIA MUST BE ORIGINAL. -- Zanimum 15:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC) reply

And for The Titan, I fear, which was also copied from an Amazon website. -- Slp1 14:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC) reply

Again, I discover copy-vios. No further actions like this will be tolerated. You are blocked for six months. -- Zanimum 15:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC) reply

Thank you for uploading Image:Mognevilleview.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Jusjih 03:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Morgan (clothing) 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 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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Goochelaar ( talk) 21:19, 25 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Mogneville2.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jay32183 ( talk) 07:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC) reply
