Why was my article declined, specifically? I pulled the information right from our organization's website. Brphillipoc (talk) 15:29, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Brphillipoc: Wikipedia cannot accept text taken from other sources. Are you referring to your sandbox? If so, can you provide the link that the text was taken from? The Copyvio Detector comes up negative and I want to verify that it was, indeed, copied. JTP ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:37, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

THOUGHT I POSTED IT THIS A.M. ABOUT 6:00 EST BUT DO NOT FIND CHANGES. CAN SOMEONE LOOK FOR WHAT i POSTED? THANKS. Jean Yeager (talk) 19:03, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jean Yeager: Hello, Jean. Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. The only other postings that I see in your contribution history are for yesterday's submission of Draft:Save A Living Thing. I took a look at the draft and found that it is unlikely to ever be accepted as a Wikipedia article, even if it were re-written in a more encyclopedic tone. The basic issue is whether you will be able to demonstrate encyclopedic notability for a four-month-long promotion done by the Southland Corporation almost half a century ago. Instead, you might want to distill your text down to just a sentence or two and add it to the "Promotions" section of our article on Slurpee. I hope this response is helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:15, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
