Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, CanadianRocky69, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:

• Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
  • Here are some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
• Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
  • Example [[File:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
  • Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
• Now you know how to add pictures to Wikipedia, why not add your own? This shows you articles that are near you. Is there one without a picture or where you could take a better one? In many countries modern buildings are still copyrighted, but not in the UK and some other places. This is the upload page on Wikimedia Commons.
• Add headings with ==double equal signs==
  • If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Four or more sections and you get a table of contents.
  • Here are articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can delete {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
    • ===subheadings are similar===
• When you add information to Wikipedia please summarize things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
• If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it yourself. If you know it is wrong, correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If, after a week no-one has referenced the information, feel free to remove it.
• ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes''' Bold.

Many Wikipedians organise themselves by subject area, we have hundreds of WikiProjects ranging from Arts to Zoology, and I'm sure there will be ones that fit your interests. A good place to look for them is Category:WikiProjects by topic, alternatively the talkpages of articles you are interested in may have links to relevant Wikiprojects.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this adds your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, visit The Teahouse, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeannie Deva

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 Jeannie Deva 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://jeanniedeva.com/about/jeannie-deva. 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. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 12:18, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for letting me know. I guess I didn't edit the source text enough, and I sincerely apologize for it. Would it be possible to retrograde the page to a community draft? Thanks a mil in advance for your help! Cheers. CanadianRocky69 (talk) 15:46, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry but we can't host copyright content anywhere on Wikipedia, not even in sandboxes or drafts. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 15:49, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

I completely understand. What about a personal draft? I just have a few hours per day to work on Wikipedia and I would like to be able to save my progress, bit by bit. CanadianRocky69 (talk) 15:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Do you mean your sandbox? Because that's not allowed. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 16:38, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

read the guidance below:

• When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.

• Most of your text was either unsourced or referenced to sources that are associated with her, like Jeannie Deva Vocal Method or vocaldevelopmentstudio.com

• Your "Notable students" section, in particular, is almost totally unsourced

• You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.

• Like the unsourced claims She performed globally, sharing the stage with the likes of... her widely famous "The Deva method... used by singers and voice teachers around the world... she beta-tested and reviewed a variety of mics to vocal effects pedals and more.

• There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

As Ninja Diannaa has said above, we don't restore copyright violation, which can't be posted anywhere on Wikipedia

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

Gosh, thanks for the detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. You rock, Jim! :-) I'll definitely be more careful next time. Also, I wish I knew Jeannie Deva! I only know of her method as I bought one of her CDs a few years back. I was actually surprised to find out she didn't have a Wikipedia page yet and saddened to hear of her passing. Don't worry, I will do way more research so that next time Jeannie's page contains lots of independent verifiable sources and doesn't use a promotional tone. Wish you a lovely day!
