Your submission at Articles for creation: The Dialogue: Leadership for the Americas (December 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by 15 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

No secondary sources used in the draft.

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:The Dialogue: Leadership for the Americas and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:The Dialogue: Leadership for the Americas, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

January 2022

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Thomas McCulloch. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 00:11, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Jennier (Jennie) Hotson

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Jennier (Jennie) Hotson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. – NJD-DE (talk) 00:50, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Writer367,

It's best to create articles and develop them in Draft space or User space like your Sandbox. Articles placed directly in the main space of the project are subject to review and can be deleted if they are not up to Wikipedia's standards of completeness and adequate sourcing.

If you have questions, please bring them to the Teahouse. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:37, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - apologies!

Will do in the future. Writer367 (talk) 03:48, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jennie Little Hotson moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Jennie Little Hotson, 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. – NJD-DE (talk) 10:20, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Writer367! Your additions to Canadian Writing Centres Association 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, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
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 must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

Hello, I'm Chaotic Enby. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Canadian Writing Centres Association. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Canadian Writing Centres Association, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 17:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the author of the paper that I removed from the article, which you subsequently added back in > "Where's the support: Learning support for...". There's nothing in this paper that contributes to the history of the CWCA/ACCR. I'm also one of the founders of the Canadian Writing Centres Association, and the editor of its blog, CWCR/RCCR. I am also the author of the materials connected to the CWCA/ACCR blog CWCR/RCCR, including A Short History of CWCA/ACCR: Fifteen years on. I am the editor of the blog, as well. Writer367 (talk) 17:51, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you are one of the founders of the blog and/or the one writing the materials you are citing, you have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and shouldn't be the one creating that article. Also, as mentioned above, if you own the copyright, you should release it under appropriate terms (i.e. you cannot retain non-free ownership and have to release it under a free license).

I strongly suggest you read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide before further editing the page. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 17:20, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please stop adding external links in the body of the article. They can in an "External links" section, but you shouldn't link words in the article itself to other websites. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 17:21, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

Your edit to Canadian Writing Centres Association has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 00:36, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Ford Mill.png

Thanks for uploading File:Ford Mill.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:30, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your biography of Marion Oliver

Hi there, Writer367, and thank you for creating a biography of Marion Oliver. If you intend to write more biographies of women, you might find it useful to join WikiProject Women in Red where we are trying to improve the coverage of women on Wikipedia. You can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 09:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Writer367 (talk) 09:45, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have now joined -- so welcome to Women in Red. When writing biographies of women, you might find it useful to use the guidance in our Primer. As you would like to cover women in the history of Canada, you might find some names of interest in our Wikidata red list of Canadian women but you no doubt have ideas of your own. I see you tried to add the user box tag to Marion Oliver. It's intended for your user page where I have now added it. If you want to tag articles for Women in Red, you should add one to article talk pages. I've added the all purpose tag for Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/293 to the Marion Oliver talk page. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for fixing the placement of the tag. I wasn't sure where it went. I have several ideas for further Canadian women to write on, but I will certainly look at this list. Writer367 (talk) 10:02, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
