Your contributed article, The Story of Google

[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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, The Story of Google. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – History of Google. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at History of Google – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Liz Read! Talk! 22:47, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Book reviews should be about the book, not the subject it covers

[edit]

Hi. Seems you want to write about Google itself. The article on Google is the appropriate place for that. Books about Google may be used as references for that. Wbm1058 (talk) 00:28, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The History of Google/The Story of Google/What's Google all about

[edit]

Hello, Kristinlemmon,
I can see you are working on an article but when you moved it into Wikipedia main space, it was deleted because of the close resemblance of the article to History of Google. The solution is not to create a second user account (User:The Google Story) and move your article there. Having more than one user account is called sockpuppeting and can cause both of your accounts to be indefinitely blocked.
The proper sequence of events is to work on your article in your sandbox, User:Kristinlemmon/Sandbox, or put it in Draft space. When you believe it is ready--that your article is not duplicating an existing article, that it is properly sourced with reliable sources--submit it to Articles of Creation where it will be reviewed by an experienced editor. I can see that you have done that (message above) so take that advice to heart when working on your article.
I can see that you are eager to have your article in Wikipedia space but unless you address its main problem (that it duplicates another article), it is very likely to be deleted again in the future. When you are writing on a popular subject, it is best to make your contribution to an existing article rather than attempting to create a new article. If you have questions, please visit the Teahouse. Liz Read! Talk! 11:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
