Mustafa Kayyali

edit

Hi Steven and/or Markus,

I see you've been writing an article about Mustafa Kayyali. I'm going to tag the article as needing third-party sources, and I want you to understand what I mean by that tag.

Every article, especially a biographical article like this one, needs to show the subject is notable according to Wikipedia policy. What you need to do is not just to present a typical biography like you would see on a publisher's website. You need to find reliable, third-party sources who discuss him in detail, and use those to support the statements that you make about him.

Please ask me if you have the sources but need help with this process. --Slashme (talk) 20:00, 7 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi again,

I see that you've removed the third-party source tag without addressing the issue. That's not good practice, and I will replace it.

Also, you're using HTML markup instead of Wiki markup. Please either use the visual editor or read about how to use wiki markup. I will now fix the markup of the page.

I'm also not convinced that the subject of the article meets the notability guideline for biographies, and I've tagged it as such. --Slashme (talk) 22:04, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Lighthouse Academy

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 Lighthouse Academy 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 company, corporation or organization, but it 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 removed 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. reddogsix (talk) 00:17, 30 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Lighthouse Academy. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please stop adding copyrighted images to articles. reddogsix (talk) 18:22, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Academy of Health Sciences, Syria.jpg

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 File:Academy of Health Sciences, Syria.jpg 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.facebook.com/emt.academ. 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. reddogsix (talk) 18:24, 30 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You appear to be promoting Mustafa Kayyali, his businesses Lighthouse Academy and Lighthouse Books for Translation and Publishing (Lighthouse Books), Abdullah Abdulaziz Alhaji who is one of their authors [1] and his employer, Academy of Health Sciences (Syria).
