Strategic decision making

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I'm an editor who likes to welcome and encourage others to contribute here. So, I do hope you stick around and bring your skills and interests to this amazing project. Could I direct you to a comment I've just left on the Talk page of Strategic decision making - the first article you created, please? I'm ever so sorry, but I'm afraid I'm not really convinced that it serves a useful purpose as there's already an article on Strategic management that seems to cover much of the same ground. (And see also Strategic decisions as well. I know how frustrating and off-putting it can be as a new editor to have someone come along and say I'm not keen on what you've done. But I could be wrong, and maybe there's content that could be added to the other articles to enhance them, rather than create a new one.

I do hope this helps, and welcome again to Wikipedia, and please don't be discouraged by critical feedback, or even if another editor suddenly slaps a 'delete' notice on content you've created. I'm afraid this is quite likely to happen in this instance, in my view. (You might therefore like to consider cut/pasting any work you've done back into your own Sandbox (see link at top of your page) should you think some of your work can be used later one e.g. all the references you gathered together, etc. If you have any questions, you can always leave a note on my own Talk Page, or leave an open question at the WP:TEAHOUSE, or see WP:FIRSTARTICLE. Kind regards. Nick Moyes (talk) 08:46, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Strategic decision making

The article Strategic decision making has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Appears to be an essay which largely duplicates Strategic management and adds caveats and amplifications.Parts are written like a manual "first we need to recognize.....". References are all very academic and worthwhile but the text is a digest and synthesis. The home-made images and not appropriate and emphasize the impression that this is a piece of student's work. This article content is a synthesis and WP:OR and reads like an undergraduate essay piece and fails 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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Pamela.echegaray, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Strategic decision making have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:41, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
