Your contributed article, Optical Processing Unit (OPU)


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Optical Processing Unit (OPU). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Optical disc drive. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Optical disc drive - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. &sect; Music Sorter &sect;  (talk) 16:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

Additional comments:

When I reviewed your changes I noticed there were a number of elements that do not follow the typical format on Wikipedia, most notably your creation of the article for the Optical Processing Unit does not appear to be based on any notable source I can find. Wikipedia is all about sourcing other work and not primary research. The concept you are defining with the Optical Processing Unit is already covered in the section Optical disc drive. You are proposing the name for this portion of the drive is an Optical Processing Unit, but I could not find any source for that term to support your claim. For these reasons I am undoing most of your changes. Please do not get discouraged from future Wikipedia changes.
