April 18

edit

Hey Wikipedia,

I didn't realize how to submit my changes to the existing stub--- so this is not a new page to be submitted, I just submitted my changes to the existing page! So please disregard this submission for a page creation.

Thanks, Anika — Preceding unsigned comment added by AGuha 175 (talkcontribs) 13:51, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi AGuha 175, please add {{db-user}} to the draft page so that it can be deleted as "no longer needed by the creator". Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:38, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Abnormal psychology

The sentences I was contributing to an existing paragraph came from a textbook. It is from the Abnormal Psychology 6th edition. Is there something wrong with that? Annamarzak (talk) 14:59, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can't copy material from a copyrighted source into Wikipedia, see WP:COPYPASTE. In addition, if you're preparing material in your sandbox preparatory to contributing it to an existing article, you don't need to submit it to Articles for Creation, since it is not going to be a new article. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 16:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why was my article declined? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.239.31.214 (talk) 19:42, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dunno mate. What did it say on the page? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:46, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

HI, I'm confused on the status of my submission. It has been about three weeks. At the top it says not currently submitted for review. At the bottom it says "review waiting" two different times. Thank you for your insight.

The status of your submission is declined. This is because I just now declined it. The surplus "review waiting" templates have been removed. Thank you for your contributions! --Demiurge1000 (talk) 23:49, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
