Hildy Brooks[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hildy Brooks, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://classictvhistory.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/hilda-hildy/.

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. 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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hildy Brooks[edit]

Hello Chicagoing,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hildy Brooks for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. —OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 10:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources[edit]

Hello. You may wish to consult WP:SPS and Wikipedia:Citing IMDb. To summarize: websites that consist of user-generated content with no editorial control are considered unreliable sources. Self-published sources like blogs and social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) will be considered unreliable in most cases. Similarly, the IMDb is largely user-generated content, and can only be considered reliable in certain circumstances. --Drm310 (talk) 08:59, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Thank you. Sorry about that. I was just so eager for to make this page. Thanks for explaining. I did what I see others have done on Wikipedia, but that doesn't make it right though. I appreciate your explaining that to me.Chicagoing (talk) 09:17, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
