User talk:Gavinli117

Welcome!

Hello, Gavinli117, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Self-expansion, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Self-expansion

A tag has been placed on Self-expansion requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have withdrawn this nomination. I initially thought it was a clear infringement because I got hits on a few very unlikely phrases. Please use caution when using sources however... copying entire sentences or long strings of words from sources can still be considered infringement. You should work those out of the article and ensure that you summarize facts in your own words when not using direct quotes. Gigs (talk) 18:46, 23 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maintaining copies of articles in userspace

It's generally considered not a good idea to maintain a copy of an article in your userspace that you also have put into the main article space.

One thing that may help you manage draft article is user subpages. You can create one by appending "/<name" on the end of your userpage URL. For example User:Gavinli117/Positive illusion. After the article is ready to go, you should use the "move" tab at the top to move it, rather than using copy and paste. You can save a copy on your computer as well, you can do that by copying and pasting into notepad or equivalent. Gigs (talk) 04:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the Positive Illusions article

Hi, I see a recent major improvement to the article was made by someone who had not logged in. I'm not sure if it was you, but in case it is, can I draw your attention to my suggestions about tone? Thanks. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:21, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
