Speedy deletion nomination of Marilyn Monroe's Evening Gown and Shawl


A tag has been placed on Marilyn Monroe's Evening Gown and Shawl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. RedFlame (talk) 09:17, 26 December 2017 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, this probably won't be "speedy deleted". Criteria for speedy deletion is only supposed to be for obvious, unambiguous cases.  If someone thinks the gown isn't notable, or thinks that the article is promotional, they can nominate it through Articles for deletion, which is the "normal" deletion method and involves a full discussion.  I don't think "speedy" is appropriate for the article you created. --Closeapple (talk) 10:14, 26 December 2017 (UTC)b

Tips for using photographs
Hi. I noticed that you had some problems with photographs, and didn't get notified about some of them. Some tips: Hope this helps. --Closeapple (talk) 08:30, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * When you upload a photograph, you have to have the permission of the photographer. Modifying it doesn't make it your own photograph.  (Also watch out for websites that don't pay much attention to copyright but still have copyrighted images.  Everything in the U.S. after 1978 or so gets a copyright even if nobody puts a copyright message on it.)
 * Wikimedia Commons already has millions of photographs that you can use because they already have permission or fell into the public domain: for example, Commons:Category:Friday Morning Club has 6 photographs you can choose from, so you don't have to upload a new one.
 * If you photograph something directly (not a photograph of another photograph/artwork), you can upload that also, as long as nothing in the photo is also copyrighted.
 * Sometimes there are other photographs you can bring onto Commons and Wikipedia: Commons:Commons:Free media resources/Photography has a list, but that probably doesn't relate to the gown article you're working on right now.
 * If there is no freely-licensed photograph, and no easy way that anyone could a freely-licensed photograph, then you can use the Non-free use rationale guideline, like you did with File:Evening Gown and Shawl Owned and Worn by Marilyn Monroe given to May Mann.jpg. (The non-free work has to be important enough to the article to justify its inclusion also.)

Suggestions for improving May Mann article
Hi. I've worked on your article May Mann adding infobox, fixing references and updating categories. I suggest you to make all references in the same template that I used and get more information (surprisingly, Norwegian article - link at the left) has a lot of information. I don't read Norwegian, but Google Translate should help. Good luck with your edits! -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Great American Doll Company


The article Great American Doll Company has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Does not appear to be a notable company - however questionable as to whether or not it meets CSD A7"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Matthew Wong (at PMA), 12:33, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Elizabeth II's jewels into Diana, Princess of Wales's jewels. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 04:56, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

Diana's jewels
Hi. I recently realized that this article was created. I had been planning on creating it for a while, and I'm glad that somebody else just went ahead and did it before me. I did some minor copy-editing, and I hope you continue with expanding it cause there are many items left that need to be mentioned. If you needed any help, just leave me a message and I'll try to respond as soon as possible. Keivan.f Talk 04:25, 18 February 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * Thank you for you kind words. I could use all the help I can get. I made this page after I purchased actual jewellery owned by the princess and found so much lost information. I decided even though it will be a feat I want people to know the history of the royal jewels!


 * Great. I'll try to help as much as I can. Right now I'm busy with my studies but I'll check up on the article as soon as I can find free time. Good luck! Keivan.f  Talk 17:14, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Uncoveringcelebrityhistory, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Diana, Princess of Wales's jewels have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:09, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Citing sources
Hi. Thanks for your contributions to Diana, Princess of Wales's jewels. One thing that I noticed was that when you cite sources from online web pages, you do not fully include all the information needed, such as the website's name, when the article was published, who wrote it and when it was retrieved by you. I was able to fix that. Another thing that I wanted to mention is that you need to avoid blogs and personal websites as much as you can. Websites such as Meghan's Fashion are not reliable and citing them does not help with verifying the information. Also, you have cited four different books in different parts of the article without mentioning from which pages you got the information you needed. You need to add the book's title with full details (year of publication, isbn, publishing house, etc) to the bibliography section at the very end of the page and then only cite the author's last name together with the page numbers in the body of the article. Please follow these simple rules the next time you want to expand any articles. Cheers. Keivan.f Talk 04:12, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Page numbers
Hi. I saw that you've been working on the article about Diana's jewels. Some of the sources that you cited were online sources, but some were printed ones. I just wanted to remind you that when citing a book, you should give the exact page number that you get the specific piece of information from. These numbers have to be included in the article as a reference or footnote. I have tagged all of the citations that are missing the page number with a "page needed" template. If you have time and access to the books, please include the page numbers as soon as you can, and don't forget to fully cite the book in the bibliography section, mentioning its edition, volume, etc. Cheers.
