Control copyright icon Hello Paul3047! Your additions to Draft:Sebastian Wolf have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The draft

[edit]
  • Don't copy stuff
  • Early life and education content needs to be referenced.
  • External links - only his website.
  • Existence of a person's name as a red Wikilink means there could be an article about that person, but not guarantee that there is sufficient information to be an article.
  • Other stuff exists - There are tens, perhaps hundreds of thousands of existing articles that do not meet current standards, and should be deleted. Pointing at those is not a rationale for accepting your Declined draft.
  • SW may not be notable. Unless there is published content ABOUT SW, he does not meet Wikipedia's definition of notability. Referenced descriptions of his work and where it has been exhibited count for zero as far as notability.
  • Per the comment left at Teahouse, all academic assignments are supposed to go through the Wikipedia program. It is completely unrealistic for a teacher to assign creation of an article. David notMD (talk) 12:37, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
thanks for your advice Paul3047 (talk) 14:45, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The backlog of drafts is not a queue. Reviewers select what they want to review from the 'pile.' It could be days, weeks, or (sadly) months until a reviewer looks at your resubmitted draft. David notMD (talk) 16:32, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]


The teacher should be made aware of Wikipedia:Education program rather than just telling students to try to create articles. The latter is a disservice to the students, to Wikipedia (if they by-pass the review process and create flawed articles that need to be deleted), or wastes the time of the volunteer draft reviewers if flawed drafts are submitted to Articles for Creation.
