Hello, Dirkhvanderlaan, and welcome to Wikipedia! While efforts to improve Wikipedia are always welcome, unfortunately your contributions are not written in English that is good enough to be useful. You appear to be more familiar with Dutch; did you know there is a Dutch Wikipedia? You may prefer to contribute there instead. In any case, welcome to the project, and thank you for your efforts!

Hallo, Dirkhvanderlaan, en welkom bij Wikipedia! Hoewel alle inspanningen om Wikipedia te verbeteren altijd welkom zijn, is het Engels van je bijdragen helaas niet goed genoeg om bruikbaar te zijn. Ik heb de indruk dat je beter thuis bent in het Nederlands; wist je dat er ook een Nederlandse Wikipedia is? Wellicht ben je daar beter op je plaats dan hier. In ieder geval wil ik je hartelijk welkom heten bij het project en je bedanken voor je bijdragen! Ahecht (TALK

Op weg naar een Nieuw Bewustzijn

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Op weg naar een Nieuw Bewustzijn, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.ako.nl/product/9789055993017/op-weg-naar-een-nieuw-bewustzijn-dirk-van-der-laan/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Op weg naar een Nieuw Bewustzijn

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.

A tag has been placed on Op weg naar een Nieuw Bewustzijn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from ako.nl/product/9789055993017/op-weg-naar-een-nieuw-bewustzijn-dirk-van-der-laan. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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. Ahecht (TALK

Copyright, notability, conflict of interest

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia! Although I am afraid it will seem unwelcoming, I have deleted the page Op weg naar een Nieuw Bewustzijn because it contained copyright material from http://ako.nl/product/9789055993017/op-weg-naar-een-nieuw-bewustzijn-dirk-van-der-laan. Wikipedia cannot host copyright material, even temporarily, see Wikipedia:Copy-paste. An assertion of permission is not enough.

Even if the copyright issue were resolved, this page would not be acceptable:

I am sorry that this is not explained more clearly at sign-on time. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:54, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Your user page

edit

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction. JohnCD (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
