Review of Draft:Qlick[edit]

Why it has not accepted the article I submitted? Can you specify the areas that need improvement?Smilecathy (talk) 05:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Smilecathy: As indicated, the submission is written like an ad and it lacks both reliable sources and any claim to notability. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:05, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am writing with respect to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Laura Baird Last week we submitted an article on Laura Baird. It was deleted due to "copyright infriengement", but the site which it allegedly copied, was in fact Ms. Baird's bio, which we provided for a conference she took part in. The Bio is original and was heavily revised for Wikipedia, but of course some of her projects and experience were "found". Ms. Baird is an Associate at our office and (by now) very accomplished, how can we submit this article so it will not be immediately rejected again? OMA AMO (talk) 11:10, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you own the copyright to the biography and wish to freely license it, instructions for doing so can be found at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. This would avoid the problem of it being deleted for copyright infringement. However, there would still be no guarantee that the material would be suitable as the basis of a Wikipedia article. It is important to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business directory or promotional site. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 13:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Once you have completed the donating process, you may be able to get it undeleted at WP:DRV. Good luck. — {{U|Technical 13}} (etc) 14:42, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How to Re-submit an Article that has been edited?[edit]

How do I re-submit an article from the sandbox, that has been edited?— Preceding unsigned comment added by JaneyF (talkcontribs)

Hi JaneyF. If you are trying to resubmit User:JaneyF/sandbox, just put {{subst:submit}} at the top of it and then save the page. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 14:37, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried updating the Draft:Federal Health Architecture/Nicole Keglerseveral times and it keeps getting rejected. The content on this page is to inform and be resource to people about this federal initiative. I have provided links to outside resources but, there isn't much public information available on the initiative. Please help me understand what needs to be included in this article in order to get it approved. Thank you.

Nicole Kegler Nkegler (talk) 19:11, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Nkegler: Your submission must meet WP:GNG or WP:NCORP or both. If there isn't independent coverage then it's not notable and therefore not worthy of inclusion. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:38, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to post stuff from this site, http://www.webexhibits.org/about/legal.html, but cannot find copywrite bug requested by Upload Wizard. but site does say this: "Links & copies We invite you to link to any page. You can also copy or display this exhibit for noncommercial purposes, if you clearly credit Christopher Tyler, Michael Kubovy and WebExhibits. Legal details." Pat Kelso (talk) 21:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pat. Wikipedia requires that copied content should be suitable for use for all purposes, not just noncommercial purposes, and therefore material from that site cannot be copied onto Wikipedia. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 08:09, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
