Almeria Province

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Almeria Province, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Province of Almería. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 20:33, 10 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

1857 Map

Yes, this map can help you. Shadowxfox (talk) 10:09, 13 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot. Added to Cundinamarca (disambiguation).

"State of xxxx " and "xxxx State"

edit

Hola, he visto tus contribuciones y me he dado cuenta que llamas a los artículos de los antiguos estados de Colombia como xxxx State. Sin embargo esa denominación es incorrecta, ya que en español se traduciría como Estado xxxx. La forma correcta es State of xxxx porque el estado contenía dentro de su nombre la partícula de así: Estado de xxxx. (Tal como ocurre con los estados de Estados Unidos)

Otra cosa, el término ¡Estado de la Federación'¡' como denominación de los estados entre 1858 y 1863 es también incorrecto. La constitución de 1858 declara que "Los estados de Antioquia, Bolívar, Boyacá, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Magdalena, Panamá y Santander se confederan a perpetuidad en una nación libre y soberana cuyo nombre es Confederación Granadina". Es decir, se estaban reconociendo como estados constitutivos de la federación, pero no se les estaba dando ese nombre.

Y por último, no creo que sea tan conveniente crear un artículo por cada escisión territorial que se le haga a una entidad. Por ejemplo, el departamento de Cundinamarca de 1820 y de 1824 podrían estar juntos en un mismo artículo, eso si aclarando que al primigenio departamento se le quitaron partes para crear nuevos territorios.

Speedy deletion nomination of Panama State

edit
 

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 Panama State, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another Wikimedia project, or was transwikied out to another project. Please see Wikipedia:Translation to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from foreign-language Wikipedias into English.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. 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.

A tag has been placed on Rubén Falcón requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

The article Rubén Falcón has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed deletion of Date and time notation in the Americas

edit
 

The article Date and time notation in the Americas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnecessary, unsourced and uninformative. Info about dates is at Date format by country, info about times at Date and time representation by country.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Latin Union

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Category:Latin Union requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted 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.
