EMAD KAYYAM
Hello Emad Kayyam, welcome to wikipedia. From skimming the email conversation you just put at the wp:Village pump it appears you are proposing some new theory here on wikipedia. I think you may misunderstand what we do here, as wikipedia has a strict policy against research not yet published by indepent reliable sources. I am sorry, but unless your theory is already published in a scientific journal it does not belong here. I have removed the material from the proposals page and also from your talkpage.

- In response to your email, my apologies. You state indeed quite clearly you have published, but I somehow missed that. However, I have some worries on what your plans are. You stated in your email your intention is to "is to discuss my story and the difficulties in my research journey", could you clarify how you would intend to do so? If you really intend to discuss things, I woulhave to disappoint you for Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a discussion forum. Alternatively it could mean you plan to write an article about yourself or your ideas. In that case I strongly urge you to read our policies on Autobiographical articles and editing with a conflict of interest, which should clarify why this would be a bad idea. Feel free to email me or post on my talkpage if you have questions. Yoenit (talk) 18:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

- You have contested the deletion of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Emad KAYYAM on the grounds that it was not a copyvio. Technically it was a copyvio - it was copied from this page at LinkedIn which does not carry an explicit CC licence. But of course the LinkedIn page is your work and you are happy to release it to Wikipedia. However the real problem with the page (which, I admit was not strictly grounds for speedy deletion) was that it was hopeless original research. It did not stand a snowball in hell's chance of being accepted as an article. I have let Anne_Delong (talk · contribs) see the text and I am sure she will confirm my opinion. It was also hopelessly sloppy with no attempt at formatting to Wikipedia standards and why on earth was the text repeated three times?
- As a side issue on your page at LinkedIn you describe yourself as a "researcher at Wikimedia Commons". Will you please clarify what this means: if you are paid by the Wikimedia Foundation or have some other formal connection with the foundation, please say so. If not, please amend the wording to remove any impression that you have any official status.
- Finally, in the unlikely event that you actually have useful stuff to contribute please give yourself a new user name - shouting such as you are using brings me out in a very nasty rash and makes me irritable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:37, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Unity of Stars Novel
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 Unity of Stars Novel, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
- It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00L86FYWY?*Version*=1&*entries*=0. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

editPlease do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, such as you did in the article Unity of Stars Novel. Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 17:43, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
