Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Chas. Floyd Johnson
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Chas. Floyd Johnson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.thehistorymakers.org/biography/charles-f-johnson-41. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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.
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.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Kenny J. Seymour, 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.

Copying within Wikipedia
edit Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Mizell Brothers into Draft:"Don Mizell". 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., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. 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. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 18:35, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft: Ken Williams
editHello, I have noticed you are working on a Draft article, Draft: Ken Williams. I have been working on a similar draft article and have submitted it for review. The article still needs a lot of work and I am just wondering whether you would mind collaborating with me given that your draft seems to be blank. Andymcteddybear (talk) 19:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to collaborate. I've been assembling info on the whole family (Ken, Mary, and Kenny) for some time. I submitted the article for Kenny last year. Bksaunders (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- User:Bksaunders, User:Andymcteddybear - There was an empty draft at Draft:Ken Williams (songwriter), so I moved it to Draft:Ken Williams (songwriter) (2) so that I could move the real draft to the proper title. I will let someone else review the real draft, and it can be worked on while it is in review. The empty draft can be left alone for six months and will then die of old age, or you can request that it be deleted. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Sergio Mims moved to draftspace
editAn article you recently created, Sergio Mims, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) In addition, there appears to be a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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 "Draft:
" 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. As per WP policy, please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 13:55, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll fill out the article with more info and citations. I was trying to get this done quickly because there's a celebration of his life beginning this weekend. Not sure why it appears that there is a UPE or COI conflict. I don't know Sergio but I know of him. Bksaunders (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- I've made changes to the Draft: Sergio Mims article per your suggestions. If possible, please review ASAP and, hopefully, approve. It would be ideal to get this published during the film festival in his honor. Thank you! Bksaunders (talk) 00:32, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
