editHello, Lidia, and welcome to editing Wikipedia. You are, of course, very welcome to contribute to the project to build an encyclopaedia. However, some aspects of your editing suggest that you do not fully understand the nature of Wikipedia. Your user page invited its readers to look at your macramé work, and gave several links to other web sites where you hoped readers would go to see your work. In other words, you were using Wikipedia to attract visitors to your web sites, that is to say to promote those sites. Wikipedia policy is that no editing designed top promote or publicise anything is acceptable, so I have deleted your user page. Likewise, in your message at Wikipedia:Files for upload you said that you wanted to upload a photograph of your work "so this photo will gain popularity and will interest people", but again, using Wikipedia to make your work more popular, i.e. to promote it, is contrary to Wikipedia policy.
As I have already said, you are very welcome to contribute to the encyclopaedia, but if your only purpose is to publicise your work, then Wikipedia is not the right place for you. There is also one more fact which you may like to consider. If you upload your work to Wikipedia, then you are granting permission to anyone in the world to copy it, either as it is or modified in any way they choose, and use it for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, subject only to attribution to Wikipedia. Are you sure you wish tolicense your work under such broad and open terms? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:52, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, מקרמה. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Macrame. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Macrame – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Bazj (talk) 15:06, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
