The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mendel L. Peterson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Wikipedia and copyright[edit]

Hello DCVAWriter, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to BuckleySandler has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in 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. It seems that you have introduced multiple and serious copyright violations to this article. Please do not do this again Thank you. Fiddle Faddle 13:09, 24 October 2014 (UT

Hi Fiddle Faddle. Thanks for your comments. I tried to address these concernes before the article was deleted, but was unsuccessful. Is ther any way to address and bring the article back? Perhaps removing the Key People section? DCVAWriter (talk) 14:56, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have recreated while I slept. I've made some minor edits (linking, weasel words), but I think there are still some issues in that the tone of the article is still promotional. You have an honours section, but no criticism section. It would be astonishing if a big law firm had never attracted adverse comment. Apart from the honours, most of the text is about what you sell. It would be more encyclopaedic if you added, for example, some financial stuff, if that is available. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:18, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Andrew L. Sandler[edit]

Hello, DCVAWriter. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Andrew L. Sandler".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 15:44, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
