If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharjah Biennial 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 Sharjah Biennial 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 http://www.sharjahart.org/biennial/sharjah-biennial-9/information. 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.

Ebtisam AbdulAziz edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ebtisam AbdulAziz, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.thethirdline.com/artists/ebtisam-abdulaziz/biography/.

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.)

Reply edit

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~. Following its tagging by another admin, I deleted your article because

  • The article was substantially a copyright violation. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. Note that interminable lists of artists most of whom don't have Wikipedia articles adds nothing to the article and looks spammy. Mention a few headliners at most
    • it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. It's all about who is performing, nothing about funding, attendance or profits (if any).

I've seen worse, and I'm prepared to sandbox the text without the lists of artists if you wish. Note that the article has been deleted twice recently and is likely to be protected from recreation if it is deleted again Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:12, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply


[[user tlk:User talk:Jimfbleak Thank you very much for clarifying it, i actually took an example of other biennials that was created and made a similar page. so when i create it on sandbox, do i tag you? please advice.

By now you have probably seen this which makes the above redundant. Thanks for the barn star, let me know if you need any further help Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:03, 25 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Barnstar edit

  The United Arab Emirates Barnstar of National Merit
Awarded to you for your work on improving UAE-related articles on Wikipedia, a topic that is vastly undercovered. Mar4d (talk) 18:05, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
BTW, I have a great interest in the UAE and have created dozens of UAE-related articles over the years. Some of my more recent articles include Emirati diaspora, Baloch people in the United Arab Emirates, Shia Islam in the United Arab Emirates, Iranian Mosque, Bur Dubai, D 88 road and Zabeel Park. I've also started many of these articles and expanded a fair bit of the article on Expatriates in the United Arab Emirates. Sadly, I believe UAE-related topics are still greatly undercovered on here. I try to do my bit every now and then by creating new articles. It would be great to collaborate more often on this topic area :) Mar4d (talk) 18:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Desislava Dare - Mind Your Hashtags exhibition 2014.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Desislava Dare - Mind Your Hashtags exhibition 2014.jpg, which you've attributed to Anoop Devaraj. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
