Hello, Constantine Chatoupis, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Draft:The Spectrum of Teaching Styles, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 Draft:The Spectrum of Teaching Styles

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:The Spectrum of Teaching Styles 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.slideshare.net/ikkars/teaching-physical-edu1stonline. 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 — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:41, 1 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

COI

edit

You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you have a financial interest,directly or indirectly, in writing about a topic, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you have such an interest, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Constantine Chatoupis. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Constantine Chatoupis|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you have a financial interest, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Also read the following regarding writing an article

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the topic, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the proponents claim or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. All your references are primary research papers, which are not normally taken as independent third party sources. It's also interesting that you don't have a single ref of the 45 that is easily accessible to someone without access to the journals. I would have thought that if this was genuinely notable there would be independent verifiable sources on the internet.
  • you must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. One example of promo is your self-sourced claim Although SR started in the USA, other countries have incorporated the Spectrum framework in their research. The premise that the Spectrum is a universal theory is reinforced by the fact that so many countries have adopted and investigated this framework. This worldwide adaptability is encouraging and promising for the future of the Spectrum theory. It should be noted, however, that Spectrum colleagues from other countries such as Finland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Israel, South Korea, Japan, and Australia have also conducted Spectrum research.
  • you must not copy text from elsewhere. 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. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. 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. The fact that you created the entire article in one edit without wikilinks or references, and haven't provided any checkable sources makes me suspect that you are infringing copyright again

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:00, 3 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Further

edit

The simplest way for Ms Ashworth to donate her copyright would be for her to amend the title page of the book to state that the text can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial. However, you would also need the consent of her co-author's estate since copyright doesn't expire with death, and probably of the print publishers who might consider that their right to publish the text commercially has been given away. The book is not an independent third party source, we don't want proponents of a theory talking about it themselves, rather we need proper indepedent reputable secondary sources.

You have ignores all the other points I posted above, and also the comment on the help desk from Hoary. Anything resembling your previous efforts will not be accepted.

I note that you still haven't formally declared your COI as required and requested in my first response. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:55, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
