Welcome!

Hello, Timeheritage, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Tholos tombs in the region of Pylos, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Ian.thomson (talk) 11:38, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Tholos tombs in the region of Pylos

edit
 

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 Tholos tombs in the region of Pylos 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 http://www.pylia.gr/en-us/The-Homeric-kingdom-of-Nestor/%CE%9F%CE%B9-%CE%B8%CE%BF%CE%BB%CF%89%CF%84%CE%BF%CE%AF-%CF%84%CE%AC%CF%86%CE%BF%CE%B9-en-US. 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.

Regarding your message

edit

Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text and has trouble accepting pre-existing text as well. From your message, I get the impression that you're editing on behalf of a group that's hired you. Is this the case? Ian.thomson (talk) 12:02, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ah. Shared accounts are strictly forbidden. Here's the standard template message about that:

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Timeheritage", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 12:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker)@Valleryking: This user isn't an admin. Also, no page is "your page", per WP:OWN, but if you want a page protected (which I think is what you're asking), you need to go to WP:RPP. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:29, 5 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ex voto of the Lacaedemonians

edit

Hello Timeheritage,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ex voto of the Lacaedemonians for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

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. Rollingcontributor (talk) 18:07, 10 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
