Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your userpage.

Welcome!
Hello, Ellco, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Céline Semaan, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Céline Semaan
Hi! Thanks for creating this page. Semaan sounds like an interesting person.

However, there are some big problems with this page. Because it is a biography of a living person, all information should be verifiable and linked to reliable third-party sources where possible, and sources should ideally not be to social/networking personal media such as LinkedIn, or use the subject's own website or her own words.

There is also a serious problem with copyright violation. Wikipedia editors should always use their own words when creating articles or editing, and should never copy and paste text verbatim from elsewhere. For example, the text in the article was almost word for word identical to this post from November 2016, and to Semaan's biography on the MIT Media Lab page here.

It is Wikipedia policy that when copyright violations such as this are noticed, they should immediately be removed. You can use the information in reliable third-party links (which the above sources aren't, not really), but you should rewrite them in your own words. For further details, do see WP:Sourcing. Please don't be disheartened by this, and do feel free to post on my talk page if you want to discuss further. Mabalu (talk) 00:49, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Céline Semaan
Hello, Ellco. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Céline Semaan, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
