Speedy deletion nomination of User:L8 ManeValidus/sandbox

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:L8 ManeValidus/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://ijarcsse.com/docs/papers/Volume_5/3_March2015/V5I3-0287.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:50, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Checksum, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Datum. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fairness measure, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Backlog.

Link formatting

Thanks you for adding links to articles. Please consider keeping links as simple as possible as described in WP:NOPIPE. Specifically it is better to use a simple link to a WP:REDIRECT than using a piped link to the exact name of the article. Also, although the system accepts this, we generally don't use the underscores instead of spaces in target names. Here's an example of a cleaned up contribution. Thanks and happy editing! ~Kvng (talk) 14:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Situationism (psychology), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Situation. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your submission at Articles for creation: YesReneau (July 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Drewmutt was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still lacking in wide-spread media coverage, current sources point mostly to the works of the subject as opposed to dependable media outlets discussing the subject. Additionally interviews don't help denote notability as their content is from the subject not about the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:YesReneau and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:32, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello! L8 ManeValidus, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 02:32, 19 July 2017 (UTC)

Overlinking

Please read WP:Overlinking. Common words like animal, wood, cooperate, signal and system should not be linked, especially in articles that are already cluttered with links. Furthermore, the linked articles have little to do with the source articles anyway. E.g. in Endocrine system, you wikilinked the word "signal", but the article signal is primarily about signals in communications/engineering. Bennv3771 (talk) 16:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Also, when linking words, please check if you are linking to the correct article. E.g. in Endoderm, you added a link to tissue instead of linking to the correct article, tissue (biology). Bennv3771 (talk) 16:59, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Similarly at Memory management. Per MOS:OVERLINK, "Everyday words understood by most readers in context" should "generally not be linked". Thank you for your understanding. Jeh (talk) 02:31, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source

Hi L8 ManeValidus. I'm in the process of removing famousbirthdays.com as a source from Wikipedia, because it's not reliable (See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153#Is_famousbirthdays.com_a_reliable_source_for_personal_information). I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to make sure you understood why it's being removed. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 16:12, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Taylor Reneau

Hello, L8 ManeValidus. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Taylor Reneau, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Overlinking (2) - Wikipedia:Deletion policy

Hello L8 ManeValidus, as already mentioned by other editors above, common English terms are usually not linked. For example, a link to "doubt" is completely pointless in most English texts. Please stop adding such Wiki-links for everyday words and make sure to read WP:OVERLINK for more details. Thank you for your consideration. If you have additional questions about this aspect or any other Wikipedia-related topic, the forum for new editors at WP:Teahouse is a good place to ask for advice. GermanJoe (talk) 17:05, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

October 2017

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Taylor Reneau. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 16:11, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Taylor Reneau for deletion

Draft:YesReneau concern
