Please leave messages for me here (or elsewhere and ping). I will try to handle them soon. Note that answers may be delayed for several reasons:

   I want to think my answer through.
   I am have found a Great Album :)
   I have noticed my accuracy in that particular area is not at its best and want to delay answering until I feel steadier.

Hello, FocusInRegard,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether FLEEK should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FLEEK .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Happy Squirrel (talk) 01:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, FocusInRegard. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Happy Squirrel (talk) 02:20, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of A Dream of Fair Women, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.readbookonline.net/readOnLine/25703/.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Thanks for this, but it may not be right for Wikipedia. Let me explain.

Wikipedia is for articles about poems, not the full texts of poems (unless they're so short it's worth just quoting the whole thing). (Here's a comparison: the Lady of Shallot article is about the poem, but doesn't quote the full text.) Texts go on Wikisource, which is a site connected to Wikipedia for that purpose. I'm sure they'd be grateful if you uploaded it there if they don't have it already.

You can also add out-of-copyright texts to Project Gutenberg, but they may have it already. (One problem with what you've added is that the annotations might be copyright, so they might have to be removed-maybe look at that soon.)

So if you have plans to add content and sources discussing the poem, I would add that quickly, since the article as it stands might get deleted for being outside the scope of Wikipedia by someone otherwise. But let me know if you have any questions about this and I'll be glad to help. Blythwood (talk) 12:20, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on A Dream of Fair Women 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.online-literature.com/tennyson/4071/. 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 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 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 "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. /wiae /tlk 02:36, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi FocusInRegard,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
