Amat Al Alim Alsoswa
A tag has been placed on Amat Al Alim Alsoswa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Amat Al Alim Alsoswa and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Schuym1 (talk) 19:34, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Lots of things
Hi Asdfjklo. I nominated for speedy a page you created (and it was deleted) and then noticed that you have created lots of articles about various UN officials that don't assert notability. Do you have a view that these individuals are in fact notable, or do you think the position makes them notable? I think the latter view is false, but would rather address the issue to you directly rather than nominating them all for speedy. Rgds Bongomatic (talk) 11:12, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials.

Your biographies of UN staff
Hello there, I see from this edit that you are on the staff at the UN and have been using your own organisation's press releases as sources for articles - many of which are listed above and have been subject to some scrutiny! I wanted to offer a helping hand, as I'm sure there are ways your contributions could be useful here.

The main problem (not an insuperable one) is one of conflict of interest but you have bveen clear about your affiliation and there's nothing in principle to stop you editing these articles as long as you are careful to abide by the policies at that blue linked page. A second issue is that your own press releases are not strictly reliable sources, odd as that may seem. They are primary sources, and until a recognised secondary source (such as a newspaper, reliable TV channel or book) picks them up we can't use them. What's more, copying them direct is actually a copyright violation. We can't actually be certain that you work for the UN (though personally I don't doubt it) but your informal release of the text is not sufficient to satisfy our licensing requirements. I suspect that for most of your subjects this is not a problem. I've just deleted the copied text at Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay but I assume that for such a high profile person other independent news outlets have reported on him. One example is here (but I haven't checked on the repiability of Sudan Radio Service, so don't necessarily take that as a great example! It was just the first I could find.)

If you can find examples reported by for example the BBC, New York Times, Al Jazeera or similar high profile news organisations, these are much better sources to support your articles. I suppose the UN has a news clippings service and if they could feed you examples of how UN folk are in the news this is a much better (and independent) way of sourcing references.

I hope this doesn't seem too bureucratic. From Wikipedia's point of view you are an editor here with the same rights and responsibilities as everyone else and we assume the same aim; to build an encyclopaedia. Any secondary aim that you personally have to boost the profile of the UN or its staff can only ever be that - secondary. But the two aims are not necessarily mutually exclusive and please message me or just post here if you need help in negotiating the issues involved. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  15:23, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for these additions to the Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay article; these are exactly the kinds of sources I meant and you've added the material perfectly. Some of the other things we need to do to these articles is to provide links out to other bits of Wikipedia, and to sort them into categories. Rather than tell you what to do, I'll have a go myself and then you can use my work as an example. I'll work on this article but I won't start until you've finished working yourself, to prevent us getting edit conflict problems. Let me know when you're ready and I'll have a go at adding some of the Wikipedia extras. Then you'll have a template for how other articles on UN staff should look. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  15:21, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Kim Dent-Brown, thank you for your pointers on improving my articles. I now have a better understanding of the Wikipedia rules on referencing an article. I agree with you that an article would increase its credibility by having multiple sources. However, sometimes a secondary source may be just a replication of the primary source. For example, if you google news coverages of Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay, you may find several news sources citing the UN official press release as its source of information. Thus, I would argue that the official UN source is quite reliable as corroborated by the media coverage. That being said, I have attempted to include more references in the article on Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay and would apply the same rules to my future contributions. Asdfjklo (talk) 15:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Just saw your last message. I've finished editing the article of Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay and please go ahead and add the Wikipedia extras, which I'll use as an example in the future. Another thing I'd like to ask you is how to link two articles in different languages. I just found out that there's an article on the same person in Spanish. What's the rules in linking articles of different languages? Many thanks. Asdfjklo (talk) 15:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes you're absolutely right, it does seem odd when a new organisation simply replicates a press release, that we count the new report as a valid source but not the original press release....! I think in theory the thinking is that a responsible, independent news source (such as Voice of America in the article we're discussing) does some fact checking when they get a press release. Anyone can issue a press release to the media, but they employ editorial staff to decide whether the material is both true and significant before they decide to write it up. There are many, many examples of organisations citing their own press releases in an attempt to get coverage for their product, event or personnel and it's only when a reliable new organisation picks the story up that we can use it.


 * In your case, I do think that links to the original UN press release are fine in articles, providing that's not the only external source we link to. As you say above, it's the corroboration of the external media that's helpful and once we have that it's also useful to see the UN's original release.


 * The other thing we need to do is go to other articles on Wikipedia and link back to this one. For example, I've just made this edit to the article on UNISFA which links back to your biography. There will be several other relevant places we can find to link back here - this is important as most visitors to your biography will come via internal links like this (they are called "wikilinks" in the jargon) and we need good links out from your article to the rest of WP, and back into your article from elsewhere. But I'll help out with this prgressively. The inter-language links you refer to are easy too, I'll do this one and you'll see how it's done. I'll make my changes in a few hours (I'm UK based and still at work right now) and let you know when I'm done. Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  16:08, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing out the inbound links within WP. I usually just do outbound links instead of inbound ones. And thanks for your help with the edits. Take your time. I'll take a look at it when you're done and follow suit for future articles. Asdfjklo (talk) 19:40, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, I've added a whole range of stuff to Lieutenant General Tadesse Werede Tesfay and if you carefully look at the finished article and the source behind it (by hitting the 'edit' tab) you should see how it works. Some of the things I've done are these:
 * I've restated the title of the article in bold the first time it appears in the lead paragraph - it's just a little WP convention you'll see in other articles.
 * There's a new infobox, the box to the top right with his name at the top and the little Ethiopian flag at the bottom. If you look at the source code you'll see how it's made up; empty lines don't appear, and there's plenty of scope for customising it for other people. (By the way, if there's a genuinely public domain photo of him that would be great in here. There's a photo at this page but we can't just pinch it without knowing its copyright status.)
 * I have wikilinked some key words and phrases; it's easy to overdo this and each word is only linked the first time it appears - these are our links out to other WP articles.
 * I added some more external links - the BBC one could act as a reference if there's any info there worth putting in the article (in which case it would become a reference and we'd remove it from the list of ELs.)
 * The link to Spanish Wikipedia comes from the Tadesse Werede Tesfay markup - the link itself appears on the left hand side of the article.
 * The markup produces the UN stub strap at the bottom - which helps as it then appears in a list of other UN-related stubs which may attract other editors to add to it. There's a similar one for Ethiopian biographies.
 * The markup produces the collapsed UN navbox at the bottom of the article, which can be opened to show links to other UN articles. I'd suggest having this navbox at the foot of all your UN biographies.
 * Finally the categories appear at the very bottom of the article and derive from the stub templates already mentioned, as well as markup like (which I'd also suggest goes on all your UN biogs.) Other categories clearly vary by nationality, age etc etc and there are very many categories available. Placing an article in a category means it will appear in a list of other articles - click the "Ethiopian generals" blue link at the very bottom of the article and you will see a list of other WP articles on people in the same category.

I think that's about it - I hope you think it makes the article look more like a WP article and it does nest it into the encyclopaedia better. There are still two things to do now: (1) some of the text is still very close to that of the UN press release and needs rewriting. I won't go over why, if you need the background on licensing etc have a look at WP:CV which will explain. (2) the final thing to do then is to go elsewhere in WP and find places to sensibly mention Gen Tesfay and wikilink back to this article. For example we should mention UNISFA in the article on the Ethiopian National Defense Force, and we could mention him there by name and link back here. There'll be other places too - certainly United Nations Security Council Resolution 1990 and Abyei, maybe South Sudan and others too.

It sounds laborious and it certainly slows down the rate at which you were creating articles. But if you had carried on at that rate, and in that manner (copypasting press releases) you'd have run into trouble very soon - as the notices above here on the talk page suggest! You will find it speeds up as you get used to finding categories, customising infoboxes etc. I also find it quite creative and the finished article is definitely more accessible and useful than a straight copy-paste with no links, categories etc etc.

I'll do some of the linking back myself when I can - you can check on what's linked by clicking on the "What links here" link at the left of the article. I'll keep watching the Tesfay article and also here, so if you need more help or advice just post here and I'll come to your aid as soon as I am free. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  22:48, 20 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Great. Thanks so much for all the edits. I'm learning a great deal from you on how to improve an article on WP. I'll familiarize myself with the process and apply it to other articles in the future. By the way, did you notice that another WP editor (Madman) has put up a tag on top of the article. How are articles attributed to WP editors? Is it common to have two editors evaluating the same article? What do I do with the tag after an edit that improves the article? Thanks again. Asdfjklo (talk) 16:58, 21 March 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem, glad to help. It's actually surprisingly rare that a new editor appears who is (a) willing and (b) able to really contribute constructively so it's well worth the time to help you out. You have also discovered a new seam of notable subjects for articles, just when all the low hanging fruit seems to have been picked!


 * As to the template, it's just a notice to anyone editing the article (principally, but not exclusively, the editor who wrote the material originally) that it needs some work. Anyone can and should feel able to re-write the material so it's not such a close paraphrase of the press release, but if you feel like doing it that would be good. It will also be good practice for reworking all the other press releases you have used, or are keeping up your sleeve! Once you've done some rewriting, you should feel free to remove the template. It might be good practice to message Madman to let him know what you've done, then he can check it and give you any feedback but it's not strictly necessary.


 * Articles are not attributed to any specific WP editors; none of us owns the articles we contribute to, even if we are the only person who has written the material there. That's why articles are never signed, only talk pages like this one. When you're ready to start working on another of your articles, start a new section here on this page and we can work on it together if you'd find this helpful. Best wishes, Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  18:28, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. I find it extremely helpful to work with a WP editor like you. It's great to have someone guide me through the rules and policies of writing and editing for WP and show me how to do certain things. I'm looking forward to working with you again on another article. Will keep you posted. Asdfjklo (talk) 19:44, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Haoliang Xu, may be copied from http://wiki.china.org.cn/wiki/index.php/Xu_Haoliang. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 18:52, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for your message. I can assure you that I did not know the existence of the aforementioned website until seeing your message. It is an interesting discovery. The contents of both sites are similar only because they come from the same sources, in this case, the official UN press releases. My article simply listed this person's biographical facts. Given the unchangeable nature of this his biographical facts, I don't think this article violates any copyright issues.

Thank you.

Replaceable fair use File:Stephane Dujarric.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Stephane Dujarric.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:25, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
