Batswana trek East for affordable education

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Batswana trek East for affordable education, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.gov.bw/cgi-bin/news.cgi?d=20100111&i=Batswana_trek_East_for_affordable_education. 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. See our copyright policy for further details.

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.

Copyright issues

Hey, I saw that the bot tagged one of your new articles as a copy-paste from a webpage. I would recommend you try and rephrase the content of those pages in your own words. Or perhaps make some pages (if that's what you want to do) about local issues that you have some knowledge of, but that also have backup references in books or magazines. Good luck.

okay i will rewrite newspaper aticles. just tell you I AM NOT GOOD AT THE INTERNET i only got it last month. --KhamaPula (talk) 09:49, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's ok. Just let that one go. you can always recreate it later. Take my advice above. There are lots of articles here for you to help improve. I've added comments to the people below so they understand we've been speaking, but please don't abuse my trust. I think you can do some great contributions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Batswana trek East for affordable education

A tag has been placed on Batswana trek East for affordable education 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Reginald Bakwena

A tag has been placed on Reginald Bakwena 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. ηyχ αμς 21:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

I deleted Reginald Bakwena - again - because, ignoring the attack you placed in the topic, you still have not provided any indication of his WP:NOTABILITY. This is usually established by reference to independent third-party publications, such as newspapers or other publications. This also satisfies Wikipedia's requirements for sourcing, which the website does not, as it is in effect a self-reference. Acroterion _(talk) 21:53, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fine then i will just run for wikipedia admin myself then --KhamaPula (talk) 21:55, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

May 2010

This is the only warning you will receive regarding your disruptive comments.
The next time you make a personal attack as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/KhamaPula, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. I honestly never thought I'd have to give this out from an RFA, but your attacks are unacceptable. Continuing this disruptive editing will be met with an indefinite block. Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 22:12, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

how dare you ban me

I am NOT a racist if anyone is a racist it is you Wackypedia keeping your African contributers and writers down. Do you want me to get all the news and government agents to ban and boycott you hmmm? Most people in Africa do not even have internet you almost could have had a milestone! BUT NO! You ban me! --KhamaPula (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have been very disruptive and made multiple racist comments. If you can't see that, that's your problem to work on, not mine. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i am sorry but culture in Africa is VERY different from culture in America. please just forgot about it and unban me that is all I am saying. --KhamaPula (talk) 22:25, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to make a formal unblock request using the code {{unblock|your reason for unblocking}}. However, if you continue your racist remarks or attacks, your access to this page will be revoked as well. This is your only warning. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 22:27, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

fine I'll do that

To be perfectly honest, you probably won't fit in well here on Wikipedia, especially referring to people as Nazis and threatening to boycott the site. I think you'd be better off on some other project. Aiken ♫ 22:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

FORMAL UNBLOCK REQUEST

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

KhamaPula (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am not a racist I am only an African wikipedia writer who wants to break the racial barrier. culture in Botswana is very different from America. so pleae unban me if you want to be diverse but if you want to be ignorant piggish nazis then fine keep me banned IT'S YOUR CHOICE. --KhamaPula (talk) 3:29 pm, Today (UTC−7)

Decline reason:

Continuing to call editors "ignorant piggish nazis" does not convince me that you are going to change your ways and act civilly. As a result, I am declining this request and have revoked your access to this talk page. Further requests should be appealed to the Arbitration Committee mailing list. Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 22:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Referring to editors as "white Nazis" is racist, and you're continuing to make similar remarks, so it's clear you're either not understanding what is being said to you, or you're being deliberately disruptive. Neither quality is appropriate. I suggest the reviewing admin declines the request and KhamaPula moves on. Aiken ♫ 22:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
