I have stupidly resubmitted 'National Development Programme in Computer Aided Learning' as an article but realise that it does already exist so would be grateful if you could ignore my latest submission Peter-ed-tech (talk) 09:55, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for letting us know. I've declined the surplus draft. Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:17, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure why this has been nominated for deletion. Can you please help me to get this published?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AubreyLHoffman (talk • contribs) 19:12, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

To editor AubreyLHoffman: It was deleted because it was copied from another website. In the vast majority of cases, this is a copyright violation and not allowed. Even if you are or know the copyright owner, we cannot verify that unless you send an e-mail confirmation. But I wouldn't recommend the e-mail confirmation, because a LinkedIn profile is usually too promotional (think "advertising" or "advocacy") to be included in Wikipedia anyway.

My recommendation is to find independent sources (such as newspapers, magazines, books, and so on) and use those to write the article. You may also want to read about the sourcing requirements for a separate article on Wikipedia. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 20:19, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Oasis Technology’s Titan (misfiled)

Hello,

I recently tried submitting my article onto Wikipedia and the reasoning as to why it was rejected was confusing and I would like some clarification and as to how Wikipedia editors would like me to reword the article so that is can be accepted.

Here's the explanation I was given: This submission provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. (This point makes no sense to me since I put in links to various words that viewers may or may not be aware of like hacking, patented, firewalls etc.)

The article is designed to just be short and informative to the reader therefore there are no other sections.

What I wrote is written below along with references.

Oasis Technology’s Titan is a patented anti-cyber hacking device that protects a business’ data from being jeopardized by hackers.[1] The function of the Titan is to prevent identity theft, stealing and other illegal activities that could devastate a business. Titan significantly reduces these risks by providing the first line of defense for a company’s network. Titan is compatible with all firewalls.[2]

If someone could help me out I'd gladly appreciate it.

I received a message saying that This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources.

I recognize that there will be material that needs to be inserted, this article is quite lengthy and I am not sure what part the reliable sources refers to. I am trying to find online references to books and articles written by Stephen Hill, and have inserted several links where I have found the material. That will be ongoing.

Do you require some supporting material to show that Stephen Hill was actually employed by UNESCO for instance?

Some specific directions would be useful. Thanks!

Chrisgilbey (talk) 23:59, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Basically that means the subject is notable, but we need sources talking about the subject. You don't need to source every single statement, the key point of notability is his status as Professor emeritus, plus things like Dob are useful. If you have a souce talking about his UNSESCO work that would be icing on the cake.

The list of publications is excessive, is there a profile of him somewhere that could be placed in "External links" at the bottom for anyone interested enough? Rankersbo (talk) 12:48, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
