Speedy deletion nomination of People from Longford

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 People from Longford requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Jihadcola (talk) 05:49, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited Home Guard (potato), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page RHS (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

CCI Notice

Hello, Finnegas. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Contributor copyright investigations concerning your contributions in relation to Misplaced Pages's copyrights policy. The listing can be found here. For some suggestions on responding, please see Responding to a CCI case. Thank you. Dpmuk (talk) 19:52, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Of relevance here is that copyight violations are not allowed anywhere on wikipedia - this includes user space. This is why I've just deleted 4 of your drafts and asked for this investigation. Dpmuk (talk) 19:52, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the very late reply to your post on my user page - I went away for thanksgiving week just after starting the CCI and your post somehow escaped my attention upon my return. User:Moonriddengirl has dealt with Edward O'Grady by revision deleting the copyvio versions - which is, I think, what you wanted done. If you have any other questions feel free to post on my talk page, where I should notice sooner this time! Dpmuk (talk) 07:33, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Fergie Sutherland

I'll certainly take a look at it, but it will probably be at the weekend, hope that's OK. He was a very interesting character. His Royal Ascot winner was the unusually named A.20 (you can't use digits in horse names anymore) in the 1958 Queen Mary Stakes. She was ridden by Bill Rickaby, owned by H. Clifton, and started at odds of 5/1.  Tigerboy1966  23:02, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
