Indian Rights for Indian Women

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Indian Rights for Indian Women, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Indian Rights for Indian Women in Canada. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:25, 15 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Indian Rights for Indian Women

If 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 Indian Rights for Indian Women, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. 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.

Indian Rights for Indian Women in Canada

edit

Your invisible article is now on view again, and I've declined the two speedy requests for 'no content'. By accident, you had removed a ---> from the comments at the top of the edit window. This is quite an important little thing, as without it your whole article became part of the normally invisible comments at the top of the window. I've put it back.

Proposed deletion of Disney's Pocahontas from a Women Studies Perspective

edit
 

The article Disney's Pocahontas from a Women Studies Perspective has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Reads like an essay, not an encyclopedia article.

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.

Your contributed article, Native American women's rights

If 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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Native American women's rights. 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 – Indian Rights for Indian Women in Canada. 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 Indian Rights for Indian Women in Canada – 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. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 02:15, 17 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia is not a place to host original research

edit

I'm writing to formally request that you not upload any more of your personal essays on to Wikipedia. So far all you've done is create several pages that are, at best, original research (WP:OR). The problem is that while they aren't particularly bad papers, they're still personal papers where you draw your own conclusions about various different topics. It may not have been your intention, but it does come across like you're trying to use Wikipedia as a webhost or blog to post your own original thoughts on various topics, which is why some of the pages were deleted.

We cannot accept original research on any topic and I'd probably recommend that you spend a little time getting used to Wikipedia before writing any large articles. A good place to start would be the WP:TEAHOUSE for new editors or to go to one of the various WikiProjects (Wikipedia:WikiProject Feminism, Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's History) that brush against your preferred topics.
