Welcome!
editHello, MaudeG3, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kim Sawchuk, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- 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! Bazj (talk) 13:24, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Centre for Women, Ageing and Media
editThe article Centre for Women, Ageing and Media has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Based off of affiliated sources, which can't establish notability. Only article that isn't affiliated is the Karpf ref, which has absolutely no mention of WAM.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:MaudeG3/sandbox
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 User:MaudeG3/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_for_Women,_Ageing_and_Media. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
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.

Your recent edits
editYour recent edits to the talk page of WikiProject feminism were extremely uncivil towards me, which violates Wikipedia's rules. They were also canvassing, another violation of our policies. Please read WP:CIVIL before making any more edits. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 16:07, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- Also, if you want to deal with the "troll", then perhaps you should go to one of our boards for dispute resolution, like WP:AN/I. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 16:21, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
- I know, I need to read a little more about blocks and bans & disruptive editing etc. first. I'm getting there. MaudeG3 (talk) 16:52, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

editHello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
You also must inform Chess of your post on WP:AN Liz Read! Talk! 16:13, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

editWikiProject
editHi, I see you've set up Wikipedia:WikiProject Ageing and culture. It may not be too late to read Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide#Creating_a_WikiProject. I think we should have at least a little discussion about whether this WikiProject should really exist or not, before creating the WikiProject template and starting to tag articles with it. I can help with the technical side of getting the project going, but I'm afraid you may have created the project a little too quickly. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:11, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I read it. I checked in the directory before and nothing was related to ageing. I am recruiting participants, they should join the project over the next few days. Why do you think I created it too quickly? MaudeG3 (talk) 15:15, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- It's just that new WikiProjects should typically go through the Proposals process: "It is strongly recommended that you propose a WikiProject here to see if there are enough willing editors to participate in the project, if it should be a WikiProject or task force, and if the scope of the project should be changed in any way." In this case it is specifically the "scope" that could or should be discussed. It seems like a pretty niche topic. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 15:25, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

editHello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that you recently removed all content from Draft:Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Trans* (LGBT*) Ageing with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, I restored the page's content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:58, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Trans* (LGBT*) Ageing a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into LGBT ageing. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 16:37, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
