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 User:Faye Jillian Henning/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2745099/?ref_=nmbio_bio_nm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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. —Kusma (t·c) 14:16, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have also deleted your user page, which has the same problems. —Kusma (t·c) 14:18, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Control copyright icon Hello Faye Jillian Henning, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:20, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Writing about yourself

[edit]

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have individual user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to work on the encyclopedia. Limited autobiographical information is allowed, but user pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you want to post your résumé or make a personal webpage, please use one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account. The focus of user pages should not be social networking or amusement, but rather providing a foundation for effective collaboration. Humorous pages that refer to Wikipedia in some way may be created in an appropriate namespace. Personal web pages are often speedily deleted."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:21, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

September 2017

[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from User:Faye Jillian Henning/sandbox, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

I am Faye Jillian Reagan. I'm sorry for removing the deletion tag. I just wanted to tell you that I am a real actress. I had proof. I'm meant to be on the English Wikipedia, you know. I'm American. Please, can you re-create the page for me, in your own words. If you do, please protect it from vandalism. I gave you some true proof that I'm an actress, but every celebrity should be on Wikipedia! Please, if you have a kind heart in you, you would delightfully create the page by you. Thanks! Check out the page again, for more information! Thanks again! Love from Faye Jillian Reagan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2745099/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I see that this account has been blocked for abusing multiple accounts. Nevertheless, I will address a few of the comments you made above.
  1. "...every celebrity should be on Wikipedia...": If you mean that celebrity = notable person, then yes, they can have a Wikipedia article. But it's what makes a person notable that counts. Actors, including adult film actors, have to meet certain notability criteria to be considered worthy of inclusion.
  2. "I gave you some true proof": You cited the IMDb, which on Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source. This is because the IMDb consists largely of user-submitted content. We expect articles to be supported by reliable third-party sources, with an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. Better sources than the IMDb are required to form the basis of an article.
  3. "I'm meant to be on the English Wikipedia": Why? Because you want to be? As mentioned above, you must be notable as Wikipedia defines it before you can have an article. And you should never write about yourself, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography. It's reasonable for other editors to expect that you aren't able to judge your own notability or write about yourself objectively, which is why we don't like people writing about themselves. Too often, self-authored articles are too praiseworthy, contain unverifiable firsthand knowledge, and appear as little more than self-promotion.
  4. "please protect it from vandalism": True vandalism is almost always detected and corrected promptly. But if you mean "protect it so it remains at a version I like", then no. No one owns or has editorial control over an article. If an article about you appears, and includes negative information about you that is reliable sourced and neutrally written, then it's fair game. That's why we say that an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing.
I advise you to discontinue your campaign to be on Wikipedia. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy on biographies of living persons, someone else will eventually write an article about you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:38, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
