Speedy deletion nomination of What Is The Impact Of Global Warming On Aquatic Life?

[edit]

Hello Cassology,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged What Is The Impact Of Global Warming On Aquatic Life? for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

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

Control copyright icon Hello Cassology, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Draft:Global Warming's Impact On Aquatic Life has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wia /tlk 02:15, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Problems

[edit]

Cassology - please stop creating articles. That's the first crucial thing you need to do. Then take the Online training for students. (I noticed that according to the class Dashboard you haven't done so yet. This might help you better understand what a Wikipedia article is supposed to look like.

Once you complete your training you should start working in your sandbox. Work on your article draft there. You need to make certain that what you're writing is expressed in your own words. Given your past problems you need to pay especially careful attention to this - read the handout on the right carefully. You need to rephrase things in your own words. Once you have started on your draft, let me know - you can drop me a note on my talk page - and I can help you improve it. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:57, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Cassology, I've only successfully written one article and I'm working on a second. It's hard work. some suggestions: 1) take a screenshot to show your professor that you created it 2) copy and paste the whole edit version (not the reading version) into a document on your computer in case it all gets deleted 3) don't submit it until it's ready to be successfully reviewed. 4) take some time to figure out how to add a proper citation in wiki style. One quick way is to look at another article and see how they've done it. Look for the things that start with ref in angle brackets ("<") and (">") and end with slash ref in angle brackets ("</") and (">"). Good luck RobSVA (talk) 13:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
