Your submission at Articles for creation: Farooq E Azam Mosque and Islamic Centre (January 31)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Dan arndt was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails the requirements of WP:NBUILDING / WP:NORG.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Farooq E Azam Mosque and Islamic Centre and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Peacock claims[edit]

When you claim something to be a first, as you just did at Stockton-on-Tees, you should always provide a reference to support the claim. Similarly you should also attempt to quantify things - so a "notable" population means nothing without quantification such as numbers of worshippers or percentage of population. As for help if you need it. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:10, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advice! Sorry, I recently added the demographics section to the Stockton page and in my absence I forgot to add the citation to when I referenced it again in that sentence. I've also added citations backing up the decision about the call to prayer. SamuraiArmada (talk) 01:42, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 14[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 'Elisapeti Langi, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crown Council. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello SamuraiArmada! Your additions to Sergei Sergeyev-Tsensky 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. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
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. Please 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 described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 23:35, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Diannaa, thank you for the heads-up. I will try to be more careful next time, still learning Wikipedia rules :) Might be worth also adding this info to the original adder of the text, as I just added citations and some extra information to the section removed. SamuraiArmada (talk) 02:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The CopyPatrol report shows that you are the person who added the content. — Diannaa (talk) 02:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've had a chance to review the iThenticate report, and I apologise, there was more direct copying than I remember. I will attempt to modify the excluded content by reducing the amount of direct quotation and copying that was used. Additionally, I will upload the revised content to the talk page before submitting it for a chance for others to peer review. Again, thank you for correcting my mistake. :) SamuraiArmada (talk) 03:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
