Speedy deletion nomination of University of Tartu Museum[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 University of Tartu Museum, 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 removed 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. ToThAc (talk) 15:22, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

In addition to the unambiguously promotional nature of the article University of Tartu Museum, mentioned above, there were other problems. The most important one was that its content was copied from elsewhere, almost certainly in violation of copyright law, and certainly in violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. We cannot accept content copied from other sources without proof that the content is either in the public domain or licensed for free reuse in terms compatible with Wikipedia's reuse terms. A lesser problem was that several parts the article were not written in proper English: it contained language such as "the already collected exhibits", "scientific equipment which are unique", and "apparatuses", which are not normally used English.

Deleted University of Tartu page[edit]
In regards to the delated page of the University of Tartu Museum. I am a curator for the museum http://www.muuseum.ut.ee/en/node/331 and we decided to use our own webpage material to create the museum wikipedia page.
I fail to understand how "the already collected exhibits" and "apparatuses" are not used in English. In science history these terminologies are used:
Exhibits- an object or collection of objects on public display in an art gallery or museum or at a trade fair.
Apparatus- the technical equipment or machinery needed for a particular activity or purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gaialy (talk • contribs)
Hello, Gaialy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. ToThAc (talk) 18:27, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to University of Tartu Museum. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 05:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
Ways to improve Tullio Ilomets[edit]
Hi, I'm Yashovardhan Dhanania. Gaialy, thanks for creating Tullio Ilomets!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Your article is fine but more sources would help. Otherwise notability may be doubted
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

A couple of comments about English[edit]
- "Apparatus" is a collective singular noun, and is not normally used in the plural.
- An expression such as "already collected" is not normally used attributively before nouns, so rather than "the already collected exhibits" one would write something such as "the exhibits already collected" or "the exhibits which have already been collected". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:31, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Apparatuses as well as apparatus are the plural form of apparatus. The stem of the world is from latin in which the plural from is apparatus, but in English the plural from 'apparatuses' can also be used. Now we can argue if it is normally used or not, but it is not incorrect. It is very useful when dealing with specific scientific equipment that is used for a very particular function, not to mention when having to separate the various parts of a centuries old instrument.
Neutral point of view and promotional editing[edit]
A Wikipedia article needs to be written from a neutral point of view, and must not contain expressions of opinion, such as that something is "exciting and mysterious". The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Additionally, all BLPs must have reliable references. ToThAc (talk) 23:57, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
categories[edit]
Adding a colon ":" in front of "category" disables its function. Use [[Category:Culture in Tallinn]] and not [[:Category:Culture in Tallinn]] in articles unless you specifically want the category disabled. I enabled them BTW. See wp:categories Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:30, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Thank you Jim1138 so much, I could not figure out what I was doing wrong!
Great photo![edit]
What equipment did you use? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:44, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Why thank you! FujiFilm Finepix S9200, it's pretty good for panorama.
