Speedy deletion nomination of Marianne Kreuz
editHello Konsumtion,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Marianne Kreuz for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
Deletion discussion about Marianne Kreuz
editHello, Konsumtion,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Marianne Kreuz should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marianne Kreuz .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

- It looks to me like you may have intended to create this in User space as notes for a possible article or articles like you have done with User:Konsumtion/Gustav Schiermeyer and User:Konsumtion/Henry Julian Hunter. If that is the case, could you say so here and/or at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marianne Kreuz? Thanks. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 17:35, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
edit
Hello Konsumtion, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to List of Permanent Representatives of Greece to the United Nations in New York have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.
- 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. (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 Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
Permanent Representatives of Greece to NATO
editHi! Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for creating the List of Permanent Representatives of Greece to NATO article. However, please take the time to polish off your creations before moving on. The article, as it stood (and still largely stands), is rife with misspellings, weird anglicizations of names (which is correct, Dimitri Petrounakos, or Δημήτρη Πετρονακάκου, because these are different names, the latter being furthermore genitive), factual errors (e.g. Karamanlis was not Prime Minister in 2012), inconsistencies ("Greek ambassador in Italy" but then " Greek Ambassadort to the United Kingdom"), spelling errors ("Greek Ambassadort to the United Kingdom"), and unclear statements (what is the "Paraskevopoulos Government Service"? Even as a Greek, I don't get what you mean). Of course no one is perfect, and other editors will always fix the occasional mistake, but this is a case where the article needs a lot of work, and that is the responsibility of the original author.
