Your submission at Articles for creation: Elly Barnes (educator) (November 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! The submission has not been accepted because it included copyrighted information, which is not permitted on Wikipedia. You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

The existing submission may be deleted at any time. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.

• In addition: Most of the article is copyvio. Furthermore, the tone is such that I think the rest is copyvio also from previously published sources. In addition, the article is promotional. Rewrite from scratch, not just modifying phrases a little, but using entirely different language and arrangement. using a neutral tone and eliminating jargon such as "continued to expand her remit." Don't use unsourced quotes. Don;t include any unsourced assertions such as "Her actions were radical in so far that Section 28, which banned teachers from ‘promoting’ and ‘publishing’ homosexual material was only repealed in 2003 and LGBT-Inclusion was not supported by school or government policies." Either this information was published by a third party and can be cited, or it is your original conclusion.

I warn you that repeated submission of copyright material is cause for blocking from Wikipedia. This is one of the most serious possible violations of our terms of service.

• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

DGG ( talk ) 20:23, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I have posted this response on DGG's talk page: I have removed reference to being 'highly commended by TES' as I could not find documented evidence in the public domain to support this. In terms of independent substantial evidence currently there are three key areas I cite that refer to the ground-breaking and unique role Barnes has in challenging homophobia in schools: 1. Barnes is employed as a LGBT special schools advisor by Birmingham City Council (ref 9) 2. Barnes is employed as a LGBT special schools advisor by Durham County Council (ref 10) 3. The Ofsted report that quotes and references the work of Barnes as 'best practice' (ref 11) The fact Barnes was recognised for her work by being number 1 on the Independent on Sunday Pink List in 2011 and in the top quartile in subsequent years is in itself an independent verification and valid reference. Sue Perkins also includes these as wikipedia references. There are a number of independent newspaper and news references that I can add but I did not want this to be disproportionate to content provided. I believe the language used is dry and factual, not self promotional and this is one of the things I amended based on your previous feedback. I have been reading the wiki-guidance and reviewing other articles on comparable individuals that cite no or very few references to support statements made about them e.g Sue Sanders, Shaun Dellenty so there still seems to be a lack of consistency across wikipedia regarding this point. Of course I am happy to review content and do some more work on the article before I resubmit. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 01:38, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Following further feedback I have removed two further paragraphs under the 'Educate & Celebrate' heading as further advice given indicated they were not biographical. Plus I have added 4 x newspaper citations, 3 x Guardian and 1 x Independent in response to your notability point. There are other news references I could add if necessary but these 4 are the key ones I think. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 13:32, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Proud Canaries, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Trans.

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. —me_and 14:24, 17 March 2021 (UTC) You have given me no time to respond to this before you have suggested the page i edited it deleted. i am not a paid wikipedia editor for this page - I have very clearly stated i am a trustee of educate & celebrate, which is a charity. I am about to do some more editing of the page, and will review the other points you have made. Thank you for the feedback. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 14:44, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Nomination of Educate & Celebrate for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Educate & Celebrate is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Educate & Celebrate until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

—me_and 14:38, 17 March 2021 (UT

I find it incredibly unhelpful that you have posted three comments in a very short space of time and not let me respond before you have suggested deletion of this page. I feel LGBT+ history and organisations are being erased on here - but if the Stonewall charity, a UK charity is on here, then Educate & Celebrate (a UK-based charity) should be in this space too. I know there are rules about posting and you can surely see that I am trying to update the page recently. Presumably if I had not bothered to try and update it, no one would have noticed, but as soon as you try and change anything on here, people jump on your amendments. I feel really deflated, and i am such a fan of Wikipedia. JulesatEducate&Celebrate (talk) 14:56, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
