Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Copying within Wikipedia

[edit]

I probably appreciate why you copied the content of Adrift in Manhattan to Draft:Speed and Angels i.e. to give yourself a blueprint to start the article about Speed and Angels on. Unfortunately copying content inside Wikipedia like that causes all sorts of attribution problems. It is important that all contributors to an article have their contribution attributed under the terms of the licence that applies to all edits. Copying and pasting like you did removes that attribution and while your intent is that none of the original content will remain after you've worked up the draft, saving the work does put that material in the article history and hence it needs to be attributed.

I know this sounds terribly bureaucratic but imagine it was the other way round and somebody used all your work without crediting you as the original author!

What I suggest is that you have two windows open with your draft in one and your model template in the other and refer to the model and its layout that way. If you need to copy something like the infobox then do so but from the {{Infobox film#Usage}} template page instead. Nthep (talk) 21:09, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nthep:
Thank you, will do.

Your draft article, Draft:Speed and Angels

[edit]

Hello, Surfer5400. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Speed and Angels".

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 plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 21:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Paco Chierici has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Simply not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable, secondary sources to pass WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
