Welcome! edit

Hello, Abdeaitali, 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 M'barek Oularbi, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! EvergreenFir (talk) 21:10, 19 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Moved to draft edit

I've moved TGCC (company) to draftspace, where you can work on it, as I do not see enough independent, reliable sources for notability. If you can find and add sources that provide in-depth coverage so it passes WP:NCORP, submit it through WP:AfC. Galobtter (pingó mió) 06:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Logo CTM.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Logo CTM.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:23, 13 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

AfroCine: The Months of African Cinema Continues…. edit

Greetings!

Thank you very much for signing up to participate in the Months of African Cinema global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.

It is already the middle of the contest and a lot have been achieved already! We have been able to get over 200 articles created in over seven (7) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 5 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about African(a) cinema!

We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

  • Article suggestions can be found here. You can also add to this list.
  • Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found here. Again, this list needs expansion.
  • Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation Drive, which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the project!
  • Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the Article Achievements section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Speedy deletion nomination of Said Hamich 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 Said Hamich requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Cabayi (talk) 15:23, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have declined the speedy as there is a credible indication of significance. However, I note that this appears to be a word for word translation of the French article. If that is what you did, please provide attribution as described at wp:Translation#How_to_translate. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:20, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

A page you started (Jahilya) has been reviewed! edit

Thanks for creating Jahilya.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

The article could use a Reception section about how the film was received by audiences and critics. It looks like there are some reviews cited in the Arabic wiki article for this subject that could be useful sources for such a section.

Help updating Girl Scout Cookies edit

I saw you're a member of WP:FDM, and I'm hoping you might have the time and interest in helping review a draft I'm working on for Girl Scout Cookies. I have a paid COI regarding its creation, so I'm looking to people from WP:SCOUT and WP:FDM to help check my work for both accuracy and its compliance with Wikipedia guidelines. I left a detailed description of my proposed changes on the talk page. Do you have a minute to take a look? I have a Sandbox which took the existing Girl Scout Cookie article alongside what I could find in my research. Any feedback you have will be greatly appreciated!--FacultiesIntact (talk) 20:03, 31 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ministry of Culture (Morocco) moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Ministry of Culture (Morocco), does not have enough sources and citations 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.

There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

Hello, Abdeaitali. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, Draft:Ministry of Culture (Morocco).

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link.

Moujahid edit

You'll have noticed that I moved your article on Naima Moujahid into your userspace. This is because, although you listed sources, they're not really adequate: Rways-Biographie has two short paragraphs, and Spotify cannot be considered independent because it's what Ms Moujahid says about herself and Spotify has a financial interest in having her be better known.

If you can show that Ms Moujahid meets the criteria in WP:MUSIC, the page can certainly be restored; note that you can use sources in any language (as long as they've been published and are accessible). DS (talk) 16:38, 12 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Saida Charaf edit

 

The article Saida Charaf has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject of article doesn’t satisfy WP:MUSICBIO and lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
