Speedy deletion nomination of Computer Concepts CIST[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, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Computer Concepts CIST requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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. —C.Fred (talk) 19:58, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Computer Concepts CIST moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Computer Concepts CIST, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. New articles generally need at least two (but preferably more) references from reliable sources that are independent of the subject that discuss the subject with significant coverage (trivial mentions do not contribute to notability).^{(See Rule 42)} Information that can't be referenced to reliable sources should be removed from the draft because verifiability is necessary for information added to Wikipedia.
I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of Draft: before the article title) where you can work on the article with minimal disruption from other users while you improve it.
When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready to be published, you can move it back to the article space yourself. However, I recommend that instead of moving it yourself that you follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template that I have added to the page. This submits the article to be reviewed by experienced editors that specialize in helping new editors write their first articles. — InsertCleverPhraseHere ^{(or here)} 19:59, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please work on the page in draft space. Do not recreate it as an article. If it warrants being moved to article space, we'll move the draft with its full history. —C.Fred (talk) 20:07, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't re-create an unsuitable article which has been moved to draft space. Instead, edit the draft to try to make it suitable as an article.
It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. Any page which infringes copyright is liable to immediate deletion without notice.
The page which you have repeatedly created was not at all suitable as an article, for several reasons, such as that it did not make it clear what it was about: it appeared to be referring to a course, but did not make it clear what course or where. Also it did not give any references to sources that might show that the course is notable enough to be the topic of an article. (Most individual courses aren't.) My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. However, if you choose to ignore that advice and go ahead with creating a new article now, then I strongly suggest using the article wizard, which will help you.

If you follow the advice above you will be much less likely to see all your work deleted every time you do anything. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:16, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Tufanganj, even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:23, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because it is clear that you are not here to contribute to building the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a project to build an encyclopaedia. It is not a free web host to provide hosting for pages unrelated to working for the encyclopaedia, such as pages for students to use to write about their courses, nor for anyone to publicise or promote their blogs by providing links to them. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
