Mentor feedback for Chusky draft

Hi James, I'm so glad that you've reached out! I've taken a quick look at your draft and I think this is a very solid effort. It gives a clear overview of what a Chusky is and some key information about the breed.

The main feedback I would give is to review Wikipedia policy on notability to make sure your article covers a topic considered notable (worthy of an article). For dog breeds, see WP: Notability (breeds).

Content:

• Try to find more references to support the notability of this breed. An example of a good reference would be a notice from the American Kennel Club indicating their recognition of this breed.

• The history section discusses the Chow Chow and Husky in detail, but could use some more information on how the Chusky came to be: who first bred them, how popular are they, etc.?

For future reference, here are some things to keep in mind. Wikipedia has its own Manual of Style that provides guidelines on how to format and compose content.

• Title:

You might be able to simply name the page Chusky or Chusky (breed). Per Wikipedia guidelines on article titles, you just need to make sure it's clear, recognizable, and distinct enough from other pages. Since no other pages are named Chusky, it is unambiguous enough.

Note also that titles on Wikipedia use sentence case.

• Introduction:

You can delete the Brief Overview heading, as it serves well as the introduction or lede section. The word Chusky should be in boldface. I also suggest using simple words (dog instead of canine) as Wikipedia is intended for a general audience.

• Headings:

Regarding headings, on Wikipedia, they are written in sentence case (i.e. Breed history). Try to avoid repeating the page title in the headings, as it is clear from context you are discussing Chusky history and health.

• Links:

Double check to make sure the links go to the pages you want them to go to. For example, Canine, guarding, grooming and muzzle currently lead to a disambiguation page, which is used to orient people to pages with that can be confused with one another.

It is not necessary to link most simple words (e.g., mystery, strength, body), as most people would know what they mean and they won't need the information in those pages. (See: overlinking)

• 'Images:

Make sure the images are free to use, remix, and distribute.

Use sentence case in the captions.

Thanks again for contributing! If you have any further questions, I'm happy to clarify, and if you need help on carrying out any edits, feel free to let me know. Me, Myself & I (☮) (talk) 00:22, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback! James Inka (talk) 11:48, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

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".

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello James Inka! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 18:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
