Hello, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. I hope you have a successful time here. however, there were problems with the first article you have created, Furniture Lifecycle Management. Firstly, it is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. In this case, your copying of the content was clearly in breach of the terms of use listed at https://www.if4it.com/master-agreement/. Also, even if there had been no copyright problem, the page would have been unsuitable as a Wikipedia article for other reasons, including the fact that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and an article which merely gives a definition of its title is not appropriate. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. I also see that you re-created the article after it had been deleted. If you don't understand the reason for a deletion, then post to the deleting administrator's talk page to ask for clarification. If you simply ignore deletions and just re-create the deleted pages you may be seen as uncooperative. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:31, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
