I will move it back to my personal space and keep working. I would like you to look at two wiki articles nearly identical that have remained forever, so I don't understand why there is such a problem. I expect the article to grow as he is destined for true notoriety Jkinzler777 (talk) 14:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)--Jkinzler777 (talk) 14:31, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted contributions[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the John J. Powers (actor, comedian) article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribute Share-Alike."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Gurt Posh (talk) 14:24, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am truly sorry I did not do that on purpose (the template). Jkinzler777 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)--Jkinzler777 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also what specifically did I borrow? I took that picture of John and I have his permission to use itJkinzler777 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)--Jkinzler777 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Specifically, it was text pasted verbatim to the article from http://jolieangelina.co.uk/?p=22. Gurt Posh (talk) 14:29, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome[edit]

Welcome!

Hello, Jkinzler777, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. 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 guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, 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! VQuakr (talk) 22:27, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings![edit]

Again, welcome! Based on the history on your talk page it looks like your experience with Wikipedia has been a frustrating one thus far; please let me know if you have any questions. The welcome template I posted above has some useful links that may be helpful for article development and learning the subtleties of the interface. See you around! VQuakr (talk) 22:30, 21 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jkinzler777 (talk) 22:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)--Jkinzler777 (talk) 22:40, 21 July 2011 (UTC)Yes it has been very frustrating. It seems simple enough -- one admin says do this, I do it, another doesn't like it! One in particular seems hell bound to make sure it is deleted. I will check out the links .... thanks so much![reply]

Discussions are more likely to be productive if they focus on the articles and relevant policies, rather than individuals (administrator or not). FYI, convention on talk pages is to indent replies using colons (I modified your post just above to do this, for example), and to sign posts with four tildes (~~~~) at the end of the post rather than the start.
