This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Prophet Drew Ali, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.themoorishsciencetempleofamerica.org/about_our_prophet_drew_ali.html. 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. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)
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) 23:20, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Prophet Drew Ali
[edit]A tag has been placed on Prophet Drew Ali 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 - 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. ttonyb (talk) 23:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.
There are two issues with this:
- You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
- Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.
Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is Moorish Science Temple of America. Thank you. Kevin Forsyth (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
This is the only warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits, such as this edit you made to Moorish Science Temple of America. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing without further notice. Donald Duck (talk) 23:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Your additions to Moorish Science Temple of America
[edit]Hi, I want to welcome you to Wikipedia and give you some more explanation of why your additions to the MSTA article are being reverted. I don't know how familiar you are with Wikipedia, but the information you're adding doesn't meet our guidelines and policies for what belongs in the encyclopedia. Specifically, you may want to have a look at the policies on verifiability and neutral point of view. These policies state that Wikipedia is a place to include information that is verified in reliable sources (newspapers, journal articles, etc.), and that the information included must reflect a neutral point of view. The info that you're adding is strictly the perspective of one branch of the MSTA, and not of the world as a whole. Furthermore, you haven't sighted the information to any reliable sources. If there are reliable sources that have this info, then you can add that information, although in much shorter and more neutral terms. For example, you can't state as a fact that a certain earthquake was a religious symbol, although it may be possible (again, with sourcing), to state that a certain church has claimed that to be the case. Note that sources produced by the church itself do not qualify as reliable sources. Overall, it looks like most of what you want to add, while interesting, is not appropriate for Wikipedia, and you may want to find another site to host it. But you are more than welcome to contribute verified, neutral information about the topic. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here (you can edit this page while blocked, as long as you don't do so in a way that repeats the problems that caused you to be blocked), on the article's talk page, or on my talk page.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
