Welcome! edit
Hello, Fnuller2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

The usual workflow is you were bold, I reverted, now you discuss it, where the onus on gaining consensus is on you. My main objection are WP:UNDUE weight, WP:PEACOCK terms and a firm suspicion of refspam. Kleuske (talk) 11:03, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- AGAIN, use the talk-page. That's what they're for. Kleuske (talk) 11:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Kleuske,
- Sorry, I am rather new to this an just trying to make a contribution. I have now just made the addition of making the wiki readers know about the Krishi Konto project, in the "in Bangladesh section", Hope that this is acceptable.
- The project is hardly notable (no independent sources). The whole thing sounds to me as if your main interest is in promoting said project and the "Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction" (which you cite in all your contributions so-far). That's called "refspam" and it's not what Wikipedia is for. Kleuske (talk) 11:27, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
The only source for such project is academic writing, I think that if you read the paper that you will find that it is in fact notable. It is verified and evaluated in both qualitative terms (11 month field trial, with control group) and through qualitative inquiries. I have worked within ICT4D for years, and would only mention the project if it is noticable. It is at least as noticable as the other projects mentioned. As far as I can see.
If we are not allowed to add new projects as they are evaluated, then this ICT4D page may become stale. Don't you think?
Best whishes
- That's because they're non notable. Will you kindly STOP EDITWARRING AND TAKE IT TO THE TALKPAGE. Thanks. Kleuske (talk) 11:35, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
- As an extra explanation, topics are deemed notable if independent, reliable sources are available. Ifthey are not available, that's a pretty good indication the subject is non-notable. Kleuske (talk) 11:37, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
How is an academic peer-reviewed publication not reliable or independent? I really dont get that ... The paper I am referring to has been peer reviewed by experts in the field and published at a top publication venue.
Wikipedia and copyright edit
Hello Fnuller2, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Information and communication technologies for development have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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) 18:16, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
