User talk:Sopped
Your sandbox page
[edit]Hello, Sopped, and welcome to Wikipedia. I have added a box at the top of your sandbox. This contains a link for you to submit the page for review as a Wikipedia article when you think it is ready. Please note, however, that articles are only accepted when they cite adequate sources to support the information given, and to show that the subject of the article is what we call "notable".
More information about article creation can be found at our "first article" page. There is more about Wikipedia editing in general on this help page. If you have any questions, the Teahouse is there to help newer editors. Regards : Noyster (talk), 08:32, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:John Sedgwick
[edit]
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.
A tag has been placed on Draft:John Sedgwick 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.johnsedgwick.biz/bio.html. 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. 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.
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 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. Legacypac (talk) 06:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
