Your submission at Articles for creation: Murugesvaran Subramaniam (September 2)

[edit]
Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.
This submission appears to be taken from https://www.raf.mod.uk/our-organisation/senior-commanders/warrant-officer-of-the-royal-air-force/. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure.
You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:28, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request to have wikitext of deleted draft emailed to you at User_talk:Shirt58#Draft:Murugesvaran_Subramaniam

[edit]

Hi Plyworth,

My usual response to most things is "sure - is right now a good time for you?"

This is a bit more tricky - I might be emailing text that is a copyright violation in breach of my admin accountability. I'll have to look up whether this is permissible, and get back to you later on.

In the meantime, I would suggest that you simply start the draft again, writing it in your own words, using reliable sources that summarise what those sources say, with an awareness that the subject matter is about a living person. Perhaps you could look at how other English language articles about members of the British Armed Forces are written?

Apologies for not having an answer straight away - Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are quite complex and sometimes non-intuitive - I've been editing since 2006 and an admin since 2013, and still request help about them.

More generally, may I suggest that you help out with existing articles before writing one of your own? That is the gist of most responses by experienced editors to new editors here.

Best wishes for your en.wp editing! Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
