idioms
Here is an idiom source you can use to update the citations, a simple google search will also yield sources. --UnQuébécois (talk) 19:52, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I asked for help with the task, not for a lesson on how to look them up. I have done virtually all the ones moved from the list up to the table. Doing it right is time consuming. In my opinion it takes more than a simple google search. Why don't you try capturing the history of the phrase and develop a meaningful definition instead of using the ones already given, they are too short and some of them are just wrong. Along the way you might learn a little of the history behind the phrase which can be added as a note. So, this is the nature of the help I am asking for.


 * BTW if you don't fix the two you added I will demote them back to the list them. -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫ ( talk ) 04:08, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Do you have some sort of objection to listing things in alphabetical order? A couple of days ago, I went to the trouble of rearranging the list of closed programs at Aspen Education Group in order to place it in alphabetical order, and now I see that you scrambled that list and the formerly alphabetized list of active programs.

Wikipedia Help Survey
Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful.

July 2012 Study of authors of health-related Wikipedia pages
Dear Author/Cdw1952

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and Why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address recently edited an article on Psychotherapy. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk. Also, others interested in the study may contact me! If I do not hear back from you I will not contact this account again. Thank you very much in advance. Hydra Rain (talk) 19:19, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Linda Houghton


A tag has been placed on Linda Houghton, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.k12academics.com/school-types/therapeutic-school#.WiBYo0qnE-U. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 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. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 deleted 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. red dogsix (talk) 19:15, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

AfC submission, Jason Anderson (motorcyclist)
Greetings. I am here to talk about your submission. There are some unjust misconceptions that I must debunk here. Just because the article is brief does not make the story any less noteworthy. It is true. Notability of a subject is established by the sources. But your sources are not good reliable ones. Read: WP:RS.

For reliable sourcing, you should go for: major newspaper, a factual, widely-published book, high-quality generally trusted mainstream publications. The sources must also be independent. Nothing written by the subject, paid for by the subject, or affiliated with the subject. Not their website, and not a press release. The sources you inserted are all bike racing related websites. By citing independent sources would be (for example) inserting a local newspaper article about Jason. Moreover, it is best for references to have significant coverage about the subject. Not passing mentions, not directory listings. And, no user-generated content like blogs, MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, fansites, Twitter, wikis. Cheers. If any question persist, do ping me or contact the AfC Helpdesk, link embedded on your declination banner. EROS message 11:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the advice. I have added citations by Andrew Krammer, Chase Stallo and Dan Lamb all of publications that appear both in print and online forms as well as an article from Fox Sports. Publications such as RaceX have an online presence as well as print magazines and cover all aspects of motorcycling not just Supercross. I think you will find that the current state of the draft article meets the requirements for WP:RS as well as notability WP:notability. While the original draft of the article relied on the "Jason Anderson 21 - Career Accolades" piece presented on supercrosslive.com, that information is now corroboration for the Minneapolis Star Tribune piece by Andrew Krammer published April 14, 2018. In that article the Mr. Krammer establishes the notability of Jason Anderson and the likelihood that he will be the next AMA Supercross Champion. -- Cdw ♥'s ♪ ♫ ( talk ) 22:00, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Dear cdw1952, it was User:Dial911 who moved the page from mainspace into afc. (Please look at your page's history) I was just a reviewer, and I don't move pages. And the sources for your submission is still lacking. Do read the guidelines, read this WP:RS. Wikipedia needs in-depth sources. Source #2 and #4 are good sources, fox and tribune. For #7 and #8, they are not even articles. Thus, must be improved. #3 isn't a good source either, supercrosslive is just a biography, not an article too. Sources are deemed reliable by the quality of it, and not who wrote/published it. Try to get more sources like fox, tribunes, and other newspaper posts if you can. EROS message 03:08, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , Mainspace BLPs that don't have any reliable references would be moved to draft space by me so that author can work on it. This article didn't have any reference when I checked. And thus, it was incubated into draft. Hope you got the point. Thanks! Dial911 (talk) 03:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Cdw1952! Your additions to Final Cut Pro have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * 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 cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at 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 Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 06:12, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
