Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

Dear Jawlensky: Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes (~~~~).

Antiochian? edit

Hey, I noticed you made a page on Antioch New England? Are you a student there, by any chance? I'm at the college in Yellow Springs. Natalie 19:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

The appropriate means depends on each Wikipedian - I'm personally pretty flexible, as are most people. By all means, help with the Antioch College page - I have added to it substantially in the past (mostly the early history) but am currently on co-op and thus have no access to the campus library. Anything you could add about the collapse of the University system would be awesome, and there might be some info at the ANE library. Natalie 19:28, 26 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Albany Free School edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Albany Free School article, but 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.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I irrevocably release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, for use on Wikipedia and elsewhere."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Quarma 16:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to restubbify this article, but we usually can't accept material taken directly from websites without permission, even when they are credited. Quarma 16:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Ojo Taiye moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Ojo Taiye, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:Ojo Taiye edit

  Hello, Jawlensky. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Ojo Taiye, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 11:02, 14 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
