[edit]01:35:44, 2 February 2015 review of submission by KatherineHong
My page for Dr. Christine Warnke, a local DC politician and humanitarian was denied and I would like to know what I can do to get it accepted. KatherineHong (talk) 01:35, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
@KatherineHong: - I don't agree with the declined rationale, but your submission was lacking good references to prove that everything Dr Warnke has done is true, or at least verifiable. I have added a brief mention of a named appointment in The Washington Post and an award from the University of Maryland and passed the submission, but I have also added a {{blp refimprove}} tag, which means additional sources for the other information (ideally from newspaper, books or academia) are required.

Hello. I need to create a Wikipedia page for a European project our company is part of - 'OptiWind'. The content I used for the article was text from the OptiWind main website that described the project, along with information regarding the particpants. I don't believe it should have flagged a copywrite issue?
Can someone provide me with the relevant text that the editors had an issue with?
Has the page I created been deleted or is it available somewhere to edit it if I need to?
Thanks
Stuart
Update: I have found the log that describes the copy-write issue for deletion. It is the fact that I used the text from the OptiWind website in the article. As the text is about the project, and the website is owned by the project does it really infringe copy-write when I am looking to create a Wikipedia page for the project and I am a member of the project that owns the original website?

- @FuturEnergy: Wikipedia assumes that any text published on the web, unless it specifically states otherwise, is under copyright. If you would like to use text from a website owned by your company, please see WP:Donating copyrighted material. However, even if the copyright issues are resolved, most text written on companies' websites is not appropriate for Wikipedia, as it is often not written in the proper tone and is too promotional sounding. You are much better off trying to write things in your own words. --Ahecht (TALK

[edit]After rejection I added a few more references. Are they suitable? I can some more for the applicable artists section on the page if that is where it was deemed not proof worthy.

- The new references look like press releases. To show notability we need writings from independent reliable sources. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:23, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

- @120.164.42.41: What is your question? I cannot find any drafts that you have worked on from the 120.164.42.41 IP address. --Ahecht (TALK

[edit]
Apologies but I appear to have two Logins: one under the user name Efunex - which I wish to delete; the other with the name Cappella - which I wish to keep.
I got myself into a tangle trying making the same submission to both.
How do I markup a line return, I can't find the symbol for it?
Please reply to REDACTED - please don't post personal emails, use the Talk page system.

- If you want to delete the submission, log on with that logon, and add {{db-author}} to the pages you created and want gone. Draft:Molly Whittington-Egan looks to be the one. But what I have done is merged the two together, you can see the earlier version at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Molly_Whittington-Egan&oldid=635437589 .

- To put in a blank line put in two carriage returns. But just to start on the next line you can use <br />. This is not encouraged, and there will be other ways to format like tables and lists. A good kind of unnumbered list to use starts each line with * Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:31, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Bryncyn in my opinion is notable house in Welsh Countryside and has been mentioned on several notable sources. It will be good to know how many more notable citings are required ? Daytodayebay (talk) 21:33, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- THe decline reason was bad. I hope that you did not copy the text from one of your books. If you did then rewrite it. It is is a wrong style for Wikipedia, but I have accepted it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:02, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi Graeme, Thanks for accepting this and I wrote this article. Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daytodayebay (talk • contribs) 09:25, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
