Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must be verifiable from reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and must be written from a neutral point of view and not in a promotional style. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. JohnCD (talk) 17:37, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your group, your client, your website or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or business directory. Please read FAQ/Organizations before you write about your own product or organization.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Copyright problems with Alex chereches
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Alex chereches, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, Alex chereches appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Alex chereches has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at and send an email with the message to . See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that it is licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, leave a note at with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you.

Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website may well be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view; also that subjects for articles must meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, explained at Notability (people) and (for artists) WP:CREATIVE; and that autobiography is strongly discouraged.

 * It is not sufficient to assert that you are the author: we have no way of knowing who you are, and all we can see is that the text comes from a web-site which displays a copyright notice. If you want to make a release to Wikipedia - which entails more than just permission to reproduce, it means irrevocably giving permission to anyone to copy the text, edit it, and use it for any purpose, see WP:Copyrights - you must follow the steps in the notice above. Before doing that, please read carefully the paragraph starting "Please note" just above. Wikipedia articles need to cite reliable sources, and notability needs to be demonstrated from sources that are independent of the subject. As you are writing about your father, you should also read the guideline on Conflict of Interest. There is good advice on editing with a conflict of interest at User:Uncle G/On notability:
 * "When writing about subjects that are close to you, don't use your own personal knowledge of the subject, and don't cite yourself, your web site, or the subject's web site. Instead, use what is written about the subject by other people, independently, as your sources. Cite those sources in your very first edit.  If you don't have such sources, don't write"
 * I also recommend that you read the guideline WP:Autobiography. Although you are writing about your father, not yourself, much of it is still applicable. I am sorry if all this seems rather unwelcoming: Wikipedia does not do enough to make clear to new users that it is not a sort of notice-board or Myspace where they can post whatever they like, but an encyclopedia which has standards for articles and for subjects, and where articles are not owned by their first authors but can and probably will be edited by others.
