Hello, Ktran130, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Your contributed article, Chicana Artist: Dolores Guerrero-Cruz

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, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Chicana Artist: Dolores Guerrero-Cruz. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Dolores Guerrero Cruz. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Dolores Guerrero Cruz. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ―Susmuffin Talk 00:35, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Notes

edit

Hi! I saw that the article was tagged and it looks like the deletion tag was removed. When reviewing the page I did notice a few things I wanted to point out:

  • The description of the artworks is written like a personal interpretation of the artworks. Keep in mind that we can only summarize what has been explicitly stated in source materials. If you're pulling the content from a source, you need to attribute the claims to the source (along the lines of "according to..") and cite the source. You definitely want to make sure that you avoid having anything come across as an opinion or personal interpretation.
  • I removed the bibliography section since it was unnecessary in this situation, since the links are already listed in the reference section. I also removed the subpages of the official website in the external links section, as well as a link that was already cited in the article. In general with official websites we should only link once to a website in the external links section.

I hope this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 15:49, 30 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
