Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Awatef Rasheed) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of a living person who is not you whose article you are editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Active Banana (bananaphone 13:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
I have provided reliable references; however, I still get notes from users to provide a third party sources. I also noticed that some stuff is being deleted from the text. At the same time, I noticed there were some leading and helpful efforts to help me with the text, which I really appreciate.
How can I deal with the notes left to me, please?
Thanks for your help


If you are Awatef Rasheed you really should stop directly editing that article. If you are not Rasheed, you should reqest a user namechange / close this account and start one an acceptable name.Active Banana (bananaphone 12:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry i missed your response as it was tucked into my previous comment, I have moved it out to its own place.
As the subject of the article, it is recommended that you suggest changes on the talk page and let third parties determine if they are appropriate .
The request for third party sources is coverage by places with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy - places that are not directly affiliated with you nor with the award you have been presented. Mainstream newspapers, coverage in a standardly published book etc. It is required for every stand alone article
Note that you do not own the article, nor the material you have contributed under the CC3 license. As it states on the bottom of every submission page "If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here."

I am sorry that I cannot find where I have to post my responses to you. Please help me with this. The Award, the degree, and organizations that I worked for have reliable links. However, I will ask one of the people who are aware of all information listed in the article to create a new article about me. Do I have to delete it? How? Your response and help are highly appreciated :)

The place to request edits to the existing article is Talk:Awatef Rasheed.
since you are the only person who has done any significant editing to the article other than format references and add/remove categories/tags, you can request the existing article be deleted you can blank the contents and place- {:{:db-author}:} (without the :'s) on the page
if/when the article is deleted, you should not ask "someone who worked with you" to recreated it, as it would still be a potential conflict of interest. The place to request a new article would be Wikipedia:Requested articles. However, I did not find any third party sources at books.google.com or news.google.com which would support the creation of a new article (or the continued existance of this one.) see our guidelines for the exisitance of stand alone articles WP:N.

Hi again and thank you very much for providing more explanation about how to create a new article. I am new user and got lost in the midst of too much instructions and many links that led me to nowhere. Do you mean that ONLY google books or books.google.com are reliable sources to create an article? So, all people listed in Wikipedia are mentioned in google books? Why don't you search my name"Awatef Rasheed" on google, you would find all the links that I inserted in the article. And, if you searched my name in Arabic "عواطف تركي رشيد", you will get also links to my articles. I provided reliable links such as Amnesty international, Canadian Research Institute for Advancement of Women, Urgent Action Fund for Women's Rights, a link to order my published research for the Master's degree, and many other organizations that I am affiliated with. My best regards and appreciation for offering your time and efforts :)
