Drucilla K. Barker moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Drucilla K. Barker, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your article is lacking sources from reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Most of the sources are not indpendent of Barker, such as her own papers, a faculty listing, or an interview. In fact, reducing the number of sources would get your draft accepted faster - it will make the reviewer's job of determining notability much easier.

Thank you. I will work on revising and bringing in additional reliable and independent sources. DesertVulture (talk) 00:52, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Smiles for Diversity

Hello DesertVulture. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Smiles for Diversity to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. BangJan1999 23:11, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you - I had meant to apply that tag but somehow confused them. DesertVulture (talk) 00:10, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You recent Prod

Hello, Just letting you know I DPD Sanctuary (short film). Sources on the page seem to prove it is notable. It can be improved. Also, unless I missed something, you don’t seem to have left a note on the article creator’s TP. Best, -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:29, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DesertVulture! Your additions to Age-Friendly University Global Network have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. – Isochrone (talk) 16:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello:

The Ten Principles, much like the WHO Guidelines, or CDC Guidelines, are Public Domain Documents. I am unclear how I can demonstrate they are under common license, as when I added the link to the website it was removed as being not appropriate to have a link to the website.
