User talk:Teresadwele

Welcome!
Hello, Teresadwele, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Thanks for message. After some searching, I realised that you meant Draft:Elizabeth Odera, which you created while logged out so it doesn't show in your contributions from this account, although you have a sandbox version.

If you have an conflict of interest, please don't write about yourself, your friends or relatives and read the guidance below:


 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.


 * Many of your sources are not acceptable. You can't use Wikipedia, YouTube, interviews with her and articles about other people. She is probably notable, but her notability in sport doesn't depend on what her students have done, that's irrelevant.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * I deleted the article as promotional as well as a copyright violation. The tone is relentlessly promotional eg Liz de-mystified tennis and opened opportunities to about 3,000 children from poor and rich communities alike, making Sadili the melting pot for tennis in the East African region. just puffery, and the source doesn't say any of that either. or Racquet in hand, Liz travels the dirt roads of Kibera, one of the world’s biggest and most dangerous slums, seeking to help those humanity seems to have forgotten. A true hero in every sense of the word, Sports for Life details her amazing journey as she passes along the philosophy that continues to change and save the lives of countless children., fact-free gushing fan page stuff, and you haven't even bothered with a ref. Plenty more like that.


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. You had several links in your text
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * I'm willing to look again at this, please send a link to your plagiarism scripts result so I can check for myself. The Earwig script I use doesn't work on deleted text.

Some other comments. Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above, as well as sending the plagiarism script link Jimfbleak - talk to me?  10:32, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * It's too informal, not Liz, or Elizabeth. Full name at first occurrence, "Odera" or "Dr Odera" therafter
 * Headings shouldn't include wikilinks, urls or references, and should follow sentence case capiatlisation, not title case
 * External links, like refs, shouldn't be bare urls. You also have too many. One or two to the her main website, not everything that mentions her.
 * Why US spelling for eg "honors"? Kenyan English uses "honours"
 * I've now deleted your sandbox, it's at least 80% copied from at least three non-PD sites Jimfbleak - talk to me?  16:21, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
 * While i think your comments on improvements were valid and I am willing to make them, deleting my sandbox was unnecessarily punitive as many of my sources were there and it took me hours to find them and link them to the correct sections. Could you please return that page as it is my editing and correction area. Teresadwele (talk) 17:25, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments and here are some of the reasons I did what I did.
 * - I've looked at several tennis coaches on wikipedia and quite a few of them list players that they have coached or who have come out of their programs.
 * - I'm not sure why my choice of spelling is a problem but I live and work in the US and have for many years.
 * - I have a PDF file with the report that I ran on prepostseo.com comparing her article on blacktennishalloffame.com and my article. I'm not sure how to send it to you but if you know of a way I can do it then please let me know. Teresadwele (talk) 17:45, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I have also run a plagiarism test on the sport and dev link listed in your initial reasoning to take down my sandbox and only one sentence has a real problem the rest are phrases and nouns of either projects or people. Once again I have a PDF of that report please let me know if there's an official way to share this report Teresadwele (talk) 19:29, 20 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It's only by chance i saw your postings above. If you want me to see a comment, you can post on my my talk page. You can alternatively leave a message on this page, and I will know you have done so if you start it with my user name, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~ when you post it. That will send me an alert.


 * I can't see where you have responded to my COI query.


 * As I have said before, we cannot host copied text, and your sandbox was 80% copied from non-free sources, it will not be restored


 * The spelling isn't a big deal, but Wikipedia practice is to write using the spelling most appropriate to the topic, so although I am a Brit, if I write about an American, I use US English, for an African I sue the local version of english, which is basically BE.


 * I don't know how you can post the pdf you refer too, but the Earwig tool is pretty standard here, and if you test is saying there isn't significant plagiarism, I can't understand that
