It doesn't, it reads like an advertisement (especially with all those youtube links to videos) and or essay. Have a look at Manual of Style if you are interested in the Wikipedia style guide. KTC (talk) 13:56, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Seahorseruler. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Kwanzaa— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Seahorseruler (Talk Page) (Contribs) 08:37, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Vegan coconut pizza crust
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vegan coconut pizza crust, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://draxe.com/recipe/coconut-crust-pizza/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:28, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vegan coconut pizza crust


A tag has been placed on Vegan coconut pizza crust requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://draxe.com/recipe/coconut-crust-pizza/. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "Click here to 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.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Seahorseruler. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted or removed. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively could result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 11:32, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Recipes and other things
Apart from the problem of the pizza base recipe being copied from another site and thus being a violation of copyright (WP:COPYVIO, there was another problem in that Wikipedia does not publish recipes. This falls under WP:NOTHOWTO. Now, as to your user page. The 'for more see' type link is liable to be regarded as advertising, and your whole page could fall foul of WP:FAKEARTICLE. User pages are for a user to tell us a bit about themselves rather than to be autobiographies with more than a suspicion of self-promotion. Peridon (talk) 13:55, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
