Most popular Linux distributions have articles
I noticed you are editing or creating drafts of articles about Linux flavors.

Please consider improving existing articles instead. Cinnamon (desktop environment) and Linux Mint cover the Cinnamon variants of Linux Mint.

As you are new to Wikipedia, I recommend you propose and discuss major changes on these articles' "talk" pages before making them. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  15:33, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Draft:Linux mint cinnamon flavor - 2019T00432


The page Draft:Linux mint cinnamon flavor - 2019T00432 has been 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. As the page met any of these strictly-defined criteria, it was deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been deleted are:
 * It appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/cinnamon-desktop-the-best-desktop-environment-for-new-linux-user#How_to_get_cinnamon. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Deletion Review — Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
