How do I get info on my organization on Wiki

edit

I understand you can not write about yourself - thank you Ian for Pointing that out.

My organiation has had about 30 articles written on us that pertain to work we have completed that are factual and documented by those 30 sources - should I just hope a wiki editor notices our work and writes about us? Gangstaoflove (talk) 17:54, 25 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Consider starting a page at Draft:Human Access Project, which volunteer editors can then review. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:54, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Willie Levenson

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 Draft:Willie Levenson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.pdxmonthly.com/news-and-city-life/2024/06/cathedral-park-swim-dock-portland-st-johns. 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 โ€” which means allowing other people to use it for any reason โ€” 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.

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.

Got it - thank you - is it ok to use direct quotes from an article? Gangstaoflove (talk) 21:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
PS thank you!! Gangstaoflove (talk) 21:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I made some quick changes to buy some time to not be deleted. I can read the guidelines and try again - but curious if my rewrites are on the right track?
Many thanks!
