to write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic.
to write in your own words. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
To write in continuous prose as far as possible and use wikilinks, eg Oxford University
Hi Orschiro, I started a discussion about the issue you had here, so we can improve the documentation on how to submit articles. If you have any thoughts please share them there :) Sam Walton (talk) 09:54, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sulfurboy was:
Reads like a press release/advertisement. Excessive external links need to be removed from the article. If they are absolutely needed add them to the bottom in an external links section. Also need to see more independent, reliable coverage to show notability.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 14:57, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:
This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.
The comment they left was:
Still questionable for Lists Notability, simply not enough information for an acceptable article.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
Hello, I'm GermanJoe. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page List of collaborative software, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. List entries usually should be limited to Wiki-"notable" topics (topics which already have their own Wikipedia article), please see also WP:EL for the usage of external links in articles. Best regards.GermanJoe (talk) 17:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Shutter (software) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 "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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vokoscreen, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages MKV and AVI. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
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.

A tag has been placed on StartPage, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 "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.

Hello Orschiro, please do not add links to donation sites as you did at Inkscape. Wikipedia is an independent uninvolved encyclopedia, not a venue for advocacy and promotion. Please see WP:EL for more information. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 09:33, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Orschiro, content should be primarily based on independent reliable sources (please see WP:V and WP:RS) to provide unbiased information. Articles should not be used to popularize organizations and their views, unless neutral information about these aspects from an uninvolved PoV can be verified by independent sources. Limited self-published content is only allowed for uncontroversial non-promotional details (WP:ABOUTSELF), and usually only in the organization's own main article. I have removed the recent unsourced additions for now, but feel free to re-add relevant details based on independent reliable sources. Best regards.
