Welcome to Wikipedia
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia,

My guess is it may be a little frustrating to have your first attempt at writing a Wikipedia article be nominated for deletion so quickly. We have a lot of people here called "new pages patrollers" who try to keep lousy articles off Wikipedia, and we get lots of them. You know, articles about garage bands with no accomplishments, get-quick-rich schemes, crackpot theories and so on.

Yours is not that kind of article. Your topic is legitimate and notable, but the issue is whether we need an article separate from Home automation, or whether the subject is best covered by expanding or improving that article.

Another issue is the unfinished state of your article. It is best, in most cases, to create a new article in a user's sandbox, sort of a semi-private space where an article can be developed and referenced. Yes, we need your article to be referenced, or footnoted, with citations to reliable sources such as books, or high quality magazine or newspaper articles. When the article is in pretty decent shape, it can then be moved to Wikipedia's main space.

You are entitled to express your opinion in the deletion debate about the article, but it is good form to identify yourself as the one who started the article. You can discuss your plans to expand and improve the article, or you can agree to work instead on Home automation or another similar article. Please also address the concerns of the editor who nominated your article for deletion. That editor seems to think your goal is to write an instruction manual, which is considered inappropriate for Wikipedia. These debates typically last one week, so feel free to expand the article in the mean time, if that is your goal. Please also feel free to ask me questions.

Image copyright problem with File:Ambassador College Seal 1969.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Ambassador College Seal 1969.jpeg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the image description page states the source and copyright status of the derivative work, it only names the creator of the original work without specifying the status of their copyright over the work.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the original image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stefan2 (talk) 19:58, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
