I have corrected the feedback on the page I created "William F. Bernhard, MD" - and wonder if the comments " this page needs help" at the top of the page can be deleted? lvadresearcherLvadresearcher (talk) 03:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have submitted a document already on Mr. Vijay R Kirloskar . The same is yet not approved . I request you to please accept the same , so that the same gets published. If anything is required to authenticate the details, please convey so that I can arrange for the same.

Hello Citkirloskar, your draft was deleted because it was a WP:Copyright violation of: http://www.ceoclubsindia.com/?q=node/9144 . It is absolutely forbidden to simply copy-paste other websites onto Wikipedia, we do not permit theft of others' intellectual property. Even if CEOClubs has expressly said they're fine with their work being released under WP:Creative Commons, we can't just accept your word for it, the organization itself would have to file a WP:OTRS form with management. That said, most such websites are not good material for copying anyway since they do not present material in a neutral and objective manner.
If you want to write about this person, I strongly suggest you start from scratch rather than copying. Before you even begin, please read WP:Notability (people), to make sure that he meets that guideline, and if so gather your sources before you even begin writing, as only clearly sourced information is admissible. Hope this helps! MatthewVanitas (talk) 14:50, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

113.199.144.215 (talk) 13:51, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 113.199.144.215, what is your question? Right now the draft is being deleted because it is copied from http://www.preservearticles.com/2011112617936/write-a-essay-on-patriotism-essay-for-school-students.html . If that site is your own writing, you could release it to Wikipedia with a WP:OTRS form, however the material you've copied is not at all suitable for an encyclopedia, as it's written like an emotional essay/editorial, not at all like an encyclopedia article. If you want to write about Nepal, might I suggest you start with some basic Wikipedia learning at Wikipedia:Learning the ropes, and then next move to improving our current articles about Nepal which need work?

reesehanyon 15:14, 8 December 2014 (UTC) why was it declined — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reesehanyon (talk • contribs) 15:14, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Reesehanyon: Your submission wasn't an encyclopedia article, it was three unrelated facts which were attributed only to you. If you want to add to the articles on the American Copperhead, Jackie Robinson, or Alice Coachman you can edit those article directly, but any information you add MUST include a citation to a reliable source -- we won't just take your word for it. --Ahecht (TALK

17:23:05, 8 December 2014 review of submission by Theodoramakris[edit]


I need help putting my final article on the public wikipedia space. I am writing an article for a class and I have edited all of it, so now my last step is to launch it.

Theodoramakris (talk) 17:23, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Theodora. That draft is currently awaiting review, but that might take a very long time... maybe weeks. In the meantime, one thing it is lacking, is what we call wikilinks. Try taking a look at Wikipedia:CHEATSHEET for how to add wikilinks and other things. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 17:52, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Theodoramakris: What class are you a member of? Who's your campus ambassador? You copied a lot of text word-for-word from imdb, which is not allowed. You also moved your draft to a location it doesn't belong and now an admin is going to have to fix it. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:23, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
