In particular, you might like to have a read of WP:FAKEARTICLE from the Wikipedia:User pages policy. I have added a special template to the top of your userpage to let people know that it's a page for a Wikipedia editor and not a Wikipedia biography of a living person, just so there's no confusion.

Hello Jack

I'm a long time editor and admin around here. Looks like you have an interesting background that would be helpful here. If you get the chance, please stop by my talk page and say hello. I will be happy to answer any questions. As you can probably tell, we have a lot of rules about user pages being too promotional and such. We see so much of that, and have to draw the line. Looks ok for now though. Anyway, I've been here 7 years and found it to be a nice break from the real world, and I'm always up for welcoming new editors, helping them find areas of interest where they will enjoy editing, etc. Hope to talk to you soon.

Hey there,

As you can imagine, we get a ton of spam around here, so people tend to get quick on the trigger when they see someone who has only edited their user page with bio info. Editing Wikipedia is actually very rewarding. There are a lot of rules, I will admit, but most of them are pretty common sense: If you add contentious facts to an article, it has to be backed up by a citation in a reliable source. That kind of stuff. What I strongly recommend is visiting the teahouse above. You can ask questions and get answers from people who literally spend most of their time here helping others. I probably spend one quarter of my time editing, the rest of the time as "admin" and helping people, just I'm doing here. Another section worth looking at is our WP:HELP. You seem like a sharp guy, so I'm sure you will catch on quickly. It IS a little intimidating at first, I completely understand. The key is to get a feel for what we do, and find an area that you like to edit in. For instance, I belong to WP:Wikiproject North Carolina, as I moved here 20 years ago and find researching, learning then writing articles on my new home interesting. I've written stuff like Lexington Barbecue Festival and North Carolina Wine Festival. Nothing earth shattering, just stuff about the area. Others will join WP:Wikiproject Psychology or WP:Wikiproject Medicine to meet and work with people that have similar interests. These are informal groups, you just "join", then they group up articles that need work or need creating. Often it is easier to learn the ropes with people who have similar professions and interests. This should get you started. If you have more questions, drop a note on my talk page, but I will answer here so you have a record with links. Thanks again for joining the community, I think you will enjoy it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 23:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jack Dikian

A tag has been placed on User:Jack Dikian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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 "Click here to 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 submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (September 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

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. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

The comment the reviewer left was:

It is not entirely clear what this draft is about. Is it about Jack Dikian, or is it a how-to manual? See Wikipedia is not a how-to manual. It does not establish notability for whatever it is promoting.

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 User:Jack Dikian/sandbox 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 User:Jack Dikian/sandbox, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
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.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link.

Systogram moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Systogram, 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.

Speedy deletion of File:Systogram symbol.png

The page File:Systogram symbol.png has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appeared to be a blatant copyright infringement of http://appliedpsychologyresearch.blogspot.com/2014/11. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review — Diannaa (talk) 12:36, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Draft:Systogram

Hello Jack Dikian! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Draft:Systogram, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from http://appliedpsychologyresearch.blogspot.com/2014/11, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Have the author release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0) by leaving a message explaining the details at Draft talk:Systogram and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-enwikimedia.org". Make sure they quote the exact page name, Draft:Systogram, in their email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If you hold the copyright to the work: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Draft talk:Systogram. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the work is released into the public domain, or if you have strong reason to believe it is, leave a note at Draft talk:Systogram with a link to where we can find that note or your explanation of why you believe the content is free for reuse.

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Draft talk:Systogram saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! — Diannaa (talk) 12:40, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to your email. We need to have documentation that shows the copyright holders have given permission for the material to be copied to this website. Wikipedia has procedures in place for this purpose. Please see WP:Donating copyrighted materials for an explanation of how to do it. There's a sample permission email at WP:Consent. — Diannaa (talk) 00:31, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to your email. It doesn't do any good to send me emails telling me that you are the copyright holder. You have to sent an email to the Volunteer Response Team, releasing the material under a compatible license. There's full instructions at WP:Donating copyrighted materials.— Diannaa (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to your email. Deleting the blog does not remove the copyright issue. Once content is published, it's copyright. Besides, it still exists on the Internet, as a copy was saved by the Wayback Machine, here. For information on how to create a draft, see Wikipedia:Drafts. Regardless of the copyright issue, we don't publish original research, so your draft is unlikely to be accepted for publication. — Diannaa (talk) 13:23, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Alpha Piscis Austrini. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Service review have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.

Proposed deletion of Systemic hypothesising

The article Systemic hypothesising has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
