User talk:Watsana13

Welcome!

Hello, Watsana13, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Watsana13, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:34, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Help me. My first version of this post was flagged as going out of bounds with policies. I then edited it down accordingly and then everything seemed to be in order. But the post now does not seem to be public and does not come up in google search engine. Is there still something that is not right with the article? Please assist.

Userpages are to facilitate collaboration among editors. They are not to house articles. AFAIK, articles do not appear in Google search for ninety days after they are moved to article space. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:33, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Watsana13

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 User:Watsana13, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://camissamuseum.co.za/index.php/the-board/foundation-team. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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.
• It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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.

July 2023

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your user page may not meet Wikipedia's user page guidelines. It is intended for basic information about yourself, your interests and goals as they relate to editing Wikipedia, as well as disclosures of conflicts of interest and paid editing. Although a lot of freedom is allowed in personalizing your user page, it is not:

• an encyclopedia article (and should not be styled to look like one)
• a workspace for a draft article
• a personal website, blog, or social media site
• a space for self-promotion or other advertising
• a CV, resumé or lengthy autobiography

The user page guidelines have additional information on what is and what is not considered acceptable content. Please use your user sandbox or the draft article space to practice editing or to create new articles. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:35, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Please see Drm310's message above. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

moved to Draft:Patric Tariq Mellet. WP:Draft articles are the preferred location for preparing articles for inclusion in the encyclopedia. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:27, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Patric Tariq Mellet. Thanks! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:40, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I am a bit confused by the comments. Please help. Are you saying that the links to the museums are all SPAM and should be removed - Camissa Museum, The Castle of Good Hope, Slave Lodge Museum, and the South African Heritage Resources Agency. Watsana13 (talk) 13:23, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I am trying to be compliant. Just struggling. I thought I was following the guideline as closely as possible. I am willing to remove everything that is not allowed. Watsana13 (talk) 13:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Should I also remove the book reviews and the link to SA History Online? I do not mind removing all links except those to Wikipedia articles. Please assist with guidance. Perhaps I am just not understanding Wikipedia and that this kind of post, hugely useful to our South African students, is not suitable for wiki. I seem to be in a minefield that I am unable to navigate. Watsana13 (talk) 13:36, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I have made a new edit, taking all of your advice into consideration (as far as I understood it). The draft is now much shorter with almost all external links removed. Watsana13 (talk) 19:09, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
