User talk:Onecanuck

Welcome
Hello  and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad you've chosen to join us. This is a great project with lots of dedicated people, which might seem intimidating at times, but don't let anything discourage you. Be bold!, explore, and contribute. If you want to learn more, Bootcamp teaches you the basics quickly, Tutorial is more in-depth, and Topical index is exhaustive. The following links might also come in handy: Glossary FAQ Help Manual of Style Five Pillars of Wikipedia Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Translation into English and Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy. There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Help desk.

Deleted article
I've deleted the article. The problem is that while you assert that other satire newspapers/sites have articles on Wikipedia, the existence of other articles is not a valid argument for an article's inclusion. (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) It could be that those other outlets have coverage that SNN does not... or it could just be that those sites do not meet notability guidelines either and just haven't been deleted yet. Pointing out other articles doesn't show or prove notability and I'll be honest: in many cases the articles in question were deleted from Wikipedia altogether, which was the opposite of what the person intended by pointing out the other articles. Also, someone made the argument that the company exists. It does, but existing is not notability. (WP:ITEXISTS) Nor is notability inherited by other companies or papers mistakenly reporting on stories SNN's crew came up with, but more about that in the next paragraph. (WP:NOTINHERITED)

You have to show notability by providing coverage of this paper in reliable sources such as various newspapers and the like. For example, if a paper such as the New York Times, Hartford Courant, or Columbia Daily Tribune covered the paper, then that would help count towards notability. However, other papers mistakenly re-reporting something that was covered by SNN isn't really something that would count towards notability unless the paper followed that up with a lengthy article about SNN and the mistake. For example, people repeatedly report on things posted in the Onion, but that mistaken coverage doesn't give notability unless someone writes about the mistaken coverage. It all boils down to coverage in reliable sources. Until that can be proven, SNN doesn't pass our notability guidelines. They're strict, but out of necessity.

File permission problem with File:The Sage News Logo.png
Thanks for uploading File:The Sage News Logo.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.
