User talk:Gerabera

October 2017
There were several problems with your user page, including the following. For those reasons, the page has been deleted. You are, of course, very welcome to start making contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but if your purpose is to store a web page for your personal use, then you would be better advised to use one of the many web sites which do provide that sort of service, such as a web hosting service.

 * 1) A Wikipedia user page is for someone who is active in working for the project to give a little information about himself or herself in connection with his or her work for the encyclopaedia: it is not a place to post content unrelated to work for Wikipedia.
 * 2) We already have an article on cloves, as you know, since you linked to it. It is not considered acceptable to create alternative pages on subjects which are already covered by articles.
 * 3) The page contained numerous links, many of them to web pages which have no connection to cloves. Posting irrelevant links like that is likely to give people the impression that they are being used to publicise or promote the web sites in question. Even if that was not your intention, editing which appears to serve such promotional purpose is not permitted by Wikipedia policy.
 * 4) Much, perhaps all, of the content of the page was copied from other web sites. 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.
