Welcome![edit]

Hello, Noelle.mannen, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:57, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Image without license[edit]

Unspecified source/license for File:Marcus Harvey.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Marcus Harvey.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|cc-by-sa-4.0}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: Once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 07:00, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Portland Gear[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 Portland Gear, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. scope_creep^Talk 11:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. This article has been deleted as promotional. It may be that you have no personal connection with the company and did not intend it to be promotional. However, articles can sometimes come across as promotional if they borrow or copy wording from the company's own advertisements, as you seem to have done. I would recommend you have another look at our guidelines before trying to create a new article from scratch. Deb (talk) 12:51, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, another tip. Don't move articles from your sandbox into article space. When creating a new article, use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation facility, which will enable you to create it in Draft and get feedback from more experienced Wikipedians. Deb (talk) 12:57, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
