Speedy deletion of YACAP


The page YACAP has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://yacap.org/about/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Deletion Review.

YACAP moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, YACAP, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:YACAP
Hello, RiversAndForest. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:YACAP, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 11:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Jamal Baloch
Hello, I have moved the article you created to Draft:Jamal Baloch. I assume that you moved it to Jamal Baloch in an attempt to move the article to main space, but that is not the correct location. You can work on your article in draft space and when it is ready, should be moved to Jamal Baloch. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 15:38, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello RiversAndForest. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:RiversAndForest. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 19:02, 29 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, I sincerely appreciate your message. I wish to clarify that I do not receive compensation for editing or creating Wikipedia articles. My primary focus lies in promoting advocacy efforts concerning climate justice and human rights, aiming to enhance visibility for impactful initiatives and promote positive change. As a newcomer to Wikipedia, I am diligently learning about editing practices and familiarizing myself with the platform's guidelines and regulations. Good day :) RiversAndForest (talk) 00:04, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics
— Saqib ( talk  I  contribs ) 13:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I posted this here because I've observed you adding WP:OR as well sources that are clearly unreliable as citations on topics related to BLPs and Pakistan. It's important to remember that BLPs and Pakistan-related topics fall under WP:CTOPICS and editing in this area should be approached with care. — Saqib ( talk  I  contribs ) 13:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
