Welcome![edit]
Hello, Jgorman60, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Jgorman60 (talk) 23:16, 7 November 2020 (UTC) How do I help to add a page?
Dianna Cohen ( born May 13- Artist and Activist , American Based in Los Angeles, CA.
In 2007, Dianna first learned about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and spent a year developing a proposal to travel to the middle of the Pacific Ocean to harvest the “plastic island” and make art out of it, raising awareness about the plastic pollution crisis in our oceans. The project was the perfect opportunity to meld her love for the ocean with the primary medium of her artwork — plastic bags — and to raise awareness and inspire change.
As she learned more about the issue of plastic pollution, she realized that we could not simply “clean it up” but instead, needed to “turn off the tap” and stop the flow of plastic into our oceans and our lives.
As a natural extension of this idea, in 2009, Dianna with other thought-leaders, scientists, and activists, founded Plastic Pollution Coalition in order to raise awareness and promote solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.
In 2010, Dianna was invited to give a TED Talk on Mission Blue in the Galapagos Islands. Entitled “Tough Truths About Plastic Pollution,” her talk has been viewed more than 1million times.

Speedy deletion```` nomination of Draft:Dianna Cohen[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 Draft:Dianna Cohen 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://skoll.org/contributor/dianna-cohen/, https://sima.com/about-dianna-cohen/, and https://shop-eat-surf.com/2019/06/introducing-watermans-environmentalist-of-the-year/. 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.
