Your submission at Articles for creation: Scholars' Cafe' (December 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong 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 general guideline on notability, 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.

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:Scholars' Cafe' 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:Scholars' Cafe', click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

References - quality over quantity

You will get good advice at Teahouse. All I want to add here is topics for articles must be notable, and to be notable, must be the subject of published content by independent sources. Not You Tube. Not a person's own website, blog or publications. Your own personal observations cannot be used, as those are considered original research (forbidden). Your time might be better used to improve existing articles rather than create new ones. I, myself, have contributed thousands of edits, including raising two articles to Good Article status, but have not yet tried to create an article. Good luck.

Your edit at Muhammad in Islam

Hello! I just reverted your edits to Muhammad in Islam, and wanted to let you know the reason. Per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, honorifics such as PBUH or its variants should not be used (unless, for example, they appear in a direct quote or book title). Happy editing! PohranicniStraze (talk) 18:13, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer for reverting Muhammad In Islam. I will not do the mistake again. Zayyam123 (talk) 08:21, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source/license for File:Https---commons.wikimedia.org-wiki-File-30 Doradus, Tarantula Nebula.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Https---commons.wikimedia.org-wiki-File-30 Doradus, Tarantula Nebula.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 05:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Https---commons.wikimedia.org-wiki-File-30 Doradus, Tarantula Nebula.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Https---commons.wikimedia.org-wiki-File-30 Doradus, Tarantula Nebula.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — 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 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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Zayyam123, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 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 the 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 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 the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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. samee ^talk 06:33, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Zaid Ali (February 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 78.26 was:

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:

It appears likely this person is notable, but most of the references are not independent of the subject (either directly tied, or interviews). Most of the other sources appear to be of the gossip variety. ("Exclusive Pictures!") The submission needs NPOV cleanup. It is not Wikipedia's place to describe his videos as "funny", and the unsourced statement that he is married to his cousin is probably a BLP violation (4th-cousin 5-times removed, first cousin) which can have negative connotations to many of our readers.

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.

Invitation to WikiProject Pakistan

Welcome!

Hello! You look like someone who might be interested in joining WikiProject Pakistan, and so I thought I'd drop you a line and invite you! We'd love to have you help us :-) samee ^talk 06:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm from WikiProject Pakistan. We're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Pakistan.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much — or little — you like:

You can give your input on issues at the project's main discussion page and keep it on your watchlist: Wikipedia talk:Notice board for Pakistan-related topics.
You can add the project's to do list to your watchlist and help in what interests you.
You can !vote and work on saving articles that are up for deletion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Pakistan.
Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Pakistan-related article on Wikipedia.
Can you code? The automation department uses automated and semi-automated methods to perform batch tasks that would be tedious to do manually.

Thanks

Thanks for telling me about WikiProject Pakistan. I am now a member and will try to help the project to improve articles related to Pakistan. --Zayyam123 (talk) 07:50, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
