Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, 4r5t6y, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Eric Sessler (composer), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

A tag has been placed on Eric Sessler (composer) 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 a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.arconetwork.org/wp/dqcf-main/dqcf-info/name/eric-sessler/. 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.

{{help me}} OK I had them delete the web page in question so the mistaken copyright infringement is no longer valid. Is there a way that you can repost my article or do I need to rewrite it? Thanks for your help.

It would be best to rephrase it. Most web pages are archived and still available, and a match may well be found later - it would be just a time bomb. As I said below, you only had to change the footer on the web page. Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:18, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Your main issue is the "© ArCoNet. All Rights Reserved" on the web page. That's a real no-go. Get that changed to "© ArCoNet. CC-BY-SA-4.0" and you can copy all or part of the text. OR you need to use Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries - BUT any e-mail needs to come from a domain that can be linked to the web site (e.g. webmaster@arconetwork.org) - we need to verify that the copyright holder has truly released the copyright. Do read https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ to understand what the license change means. Ronhjones  (Talk) 23:23, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article Eric Sessler (composer) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Help me

[edit]

I added reference but I can't seem to make the links work-but they all exist online.

I believe you are confusing wikilinks with external links. The formatting is similar, but the end result is very different.
  • A Wikilink is made by using two pairs of square brackets, for example typing [[Google]] results in Google.
  • An external link is a link made to a website outside of Wikipedia, so [http://www.google.com Google] shows up as Google.
Notice that one links to Wikipedia, the other links to an external website. I should mention that Wikipedia cannot be used as a reference (that's what wikilinks are for). Check out WP:REFB (particularly Section 3.1) for more information about adding references to pages. If you want more help, stop by the Teahouse, Wikipedia's live help channel, or the help desk to ask someone for assistance. Primefac (talk) 03:28, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have references with working links-does that some my page issue problems?

Which is the page? Ill help you dont worry! VarunFEB2003 (talk) 16:42, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Sessler_(composer) Thanks for your help. Also I've tried to link other wiki articles with an inter wiki link but I must be doing something wrong. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_quartet

Those references are not the kind of significant coverage we're looking for. They're at best directory entries that do not cover Sessler in any detail, and while they may help to prevent deletion for being entirely unreferenced, they do not help establish that Sessler is notable enough for an article. We'd need articles written by newspapers or reputable magazines that discuss Sessler in some detail. The reviews in the "external links" section might help, but they still don't cover Sessler himself in any appreciable detail.
Linking to other Wikipedia articles is done by double square brackets: [[piano quartet]] will be displayed as "piano quartet". See Help:Links for more details on how to link, for example when you want the displayed text to differ from the target article's name. Huon (talk) 18:47, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
