Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Joan Palmer Hughston, from its old location at User:Joan Hughston/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 18:48, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:01, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Joan Hughston, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:Joan Palmer Hughston, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• 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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Joan Hughston! Your additions to Draft:Joan Palmer Hughston 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. 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.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• 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 either 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• 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 Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia: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. Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 18:51, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Joan Palmer Hughston page

Hello,

Reference was made that the Joan Palmer Hughston page is autobiographical. This is not the case. Joan Hughston passed away over a decade ago and her family has hired my firm to create a Wikipedia page about Joan's life and accomplishments.

Best, Rich Gavagan — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.181.145.187 (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Rich. I assume that you are the individual who operates the "Joan Hughston" account and also the unregistered editor who left the comment above. Please remember to log in to Wikipedia, as per the notice under the "March 2021" heading.

Since your account name is the same as the subject you're writing about, you can understand the confusion. Though there is no restriction on using the name of a deceased person as your username, I would advise that you change your username to something else. It doesn't have to be your real name, but can be if you so desire. It just needs to conform to Wikipedia's username policy.

It appears your submission is partially a copyright violation. Please be aware of Wikipedia's policy on copyright, and do not post copyrighted text or images unless the copyright holder has provided proof of their identity and agreed to donate the material to Wikipedia. This applies even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission.

Please also be aware that a person - living or dead - is not entitled to a Wikipedia article just for having existed. Topics on Wikipedia must be notable - that is, having gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time. We use evidence from reliable sources that are independent of the topic to gauge this interest. In the case of a person, Wikipedia's notability criteria for people applies, and is further refined for creative professionals like artists.

We do not allow articles that are meant as memorials for deceased relatives; nor promotional pieces meant to glorify a person's existence. Articles are plainly factual summaries of previously published material, gleaned from reliable sources, written from the perspective of a dispassionate third party.

Reliable sources are sources with an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. This heavily favours mainstream academic press and mainstream news sources, as well as reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. Primary sources such as the subject's own website can be used for basic facts and figures, but cannot alone establish notability. Self-published sources lack the necessary editorial oversight and are disallowed in most cases; this includes press releases, social media, blogs and message forums. Original research (e.g. unpublished personal knowledge and experience, or private correspondence) is unverifiable and also disallowed. Other sources of dubious or unknown provenance will also be rejected. WP:RSP has a list of sources that are commonly discussed and the evaluation of their reliability.

If you are able to provide objective evidence that this person was sufficiently notable for inclusion, then please provide these sources in your draft. If such an article is accepted, please be aware - and make your client(s) aware - that anyone can edit it. Wikipedia is a collaborative project; anyone can edit any article at any time, and the content you submit may change over time, substantially. No editor has any right of ownership or control over an article's content. Editors must assume good faith of fellow editors unless there is clear evidence of harmful motives behind any changes. While obvious vandalism can be undone with little argument, significant disagreements must be calmly discussed on the article's talk page with the aim of reaching consensus. Failing that, other dispute resolution channels are available.

One last thing. Wikipedia has a strict and mandatory policy on disclosure of paid editing. Before you make any edits about a topic where you were paid for your writing, you must openly disclose what topic it is, and who is paying you to do it. After you have done this, you should become familiar with the rules on conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:32, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
