Hello, Dmc715 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! That Coptic Guy 21:37, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Samanthalunarivera/Publicity stunt


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. A tag has been placed on User:Samanthalunarivera/Publicity stunt requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:03, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Just as a note, the only reason I"m speedying this per U5 is because you created a page that is not under your username. If you did not mean to do so feel free to create it again at User:Dmc714/Publicity Stunt. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:04, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Non-free images
Wikipedia has strict guidelines and polices about the use of non-free content. Use of such content must meet all of the non-free content criteria. In the case of your use of Blair Witch Project related non-free images, they do not meet WP:NFCC. Each use of a non-free image must have a specific and separate non-free usage rationale. The images you used do not have a rationale for use in the publicity stunt article, nor do I believe a valid rationale could be written to justify their use in that article. -- Whpq (talk) 23:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Cut and pasting the sandbox
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Samanthalunarivera/Publicity stunt a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Publicity stunt. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.
