Welcome!

Hello, Luvhpc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Robert J. Harrison (scientist), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Proposed deletion of Robert J. Harrison (scientist)

[edit]

The article Robert J. Harrison (scientist) has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have 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}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Did I add the references correctly? Also, how can I have permissions to post a picture to this page? Thanks.Luvhpc (talk) 18:34, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The references that you added are links to other Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is not a reliable source for its own content. Our biographies of living persons policy mandates that articles about living people must cite at least one reliable source. --Chris (talk) 19:25, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Microsoft Research link showing the publications under the External links section? Does that count as a reference? Thank you. Luvhpc (talk) 19:46, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be enough for the layperson to be convinced that this person exists, but search result pages are not considered to be proper sources. A specific paper from Microsoft Research should be considered reliable about the topics it is addressing.
And I would suggest using inline citations so that it's clear which statements in the article you are making based on which sources. --Chris (talk) 21:44, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{admin help}}

Robert J. Harrison wrote saying that he owned the copyright for the material to the address above. Can you see if his email has been processed? Thank you.Luvhpc (talk) 03:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to add the Admin help link because non-admins wouldn't be able to do this. Etineskid(talk) 03:42, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The email will be processed by WP:OTRS in good time, and can't be undeleted until then. --Stephen 03:58, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a way the email can be processed? Its now May and we've been trying to create the page since February. Thanks.

I checked the OTRS ticket and recognized after that that the ticket was already closed successfully in March and moreover the page is correctly tagged and still existent. What is your question now? mabdul 21:54, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
