If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

Speedy deletion nomination of Leeza Ahmady[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 Leeza Ahmady 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 https://www.ahmadyarts.com/assets/about/L_Ahmady_CV_Long.pdf. 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.

Yzhang18, I'm afraid I also had to delete your sandbox for the same reasons. Please take to heart the advice in the section below this; if there's any aspect of it that you don't understand, do please ask! – here on this page should be fine.

If you still want to try to make a page about Leeza Ahmady, may I suggest:

that you work in draft space, at Draft:Leeza Ahmady
that, before you start, you make sure that you have a good number of independent reliable sources that cover her in depth and in detail (obviously, those would not include her own pages at ahmadyarts.com and acaw.info)
that you write entirely in your own words, one sentence at a time, checking after each one that you have not inadvertently copied anything (other than proper names) from the sources
that you visit the Teahouse if you run into any difficulty – I'll leave you an invitation below.

Again, if you have questions, do please ask! Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A New Draft For the Page[edit]

Dear Justlettersandnumbers

Thank you! I rebuilt the page in this draft Draft:Leeza Ahmady base on your suggestions.

I Stay objective and list only the facts.

Please let me know if this is the right way to do and what should I do next to make it better.

How to Get Help From specific User[edit]

I've removed {{help me}} because this is a general call for help from other editors, and it's not clear what you need help with. Feel free to re-add this template, but please accompany it with a specific question. --Chris (talk) 16:20, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Chris

I'm having this problem with a page I created Leeza Ahmady which has been deleted.

I started to rebuild this page in the draft Draft:Leeza Ahmady and wanted to make sure what I did was correct.

Sorry I didn't know how to call out the specific editor for help that's why I used the {{help me}}

Yzhang18 (talk) 16:36, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can use {{ping|username}} to get the attention of a specific user, or you can simply link to their User: page -- which you did when replying to me, so I was notified of your response! You did the same thing for Justlettersandnumbers, so they were automatically notified of your response to them. --Chris (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much Chris!

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello Yzhang18, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Leeza Ahmady have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. CAPTAIN RAJU^(T) 03:44, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Leeza Ahmady, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Wgolf (talk) 04:02, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation[edit]

Hello! Yzhang18, you are invited to join other new editors and friendly hosts in the Teahouse. It's a good place to meet people, ask questions and learn more about Wikipedia. Please give it a try! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:27, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem: Draft:Leeza Ahmady[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Draft:Leeza Ahmady, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://www.ahmadyarts.com/exhibitions/venicefive/people, https://www.ahmadyarts.com/about, http://www.bosepacia.com/exhibitions/2007-01-12_the-paradox-of-polarity/press-release/, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

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:

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:Leeza Ahmady 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 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.

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:Leeza Ahmady 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! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has already once been deleted for copyright reasons; this version has fewer problems, but still needs attention. You can work on a clean version at this special page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:28, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
