Your school project

Welcome, again. I don't know how much briefing you have had, and I may be telling you things you already know, but I suggest you look at these links:

Writing a Wikipedia article differs in some important respects from writing a normal student paper. One of Wikipedia's key content policies is that we do not publish original work - everything in a Wikipedia article needs to be verifiable from a reliable published source. Please read the policy WP:No original research carefully, in particular the section headed "Synthesis of published material that advances a position".

Also, no Wikipedia article is owned by its author - see WP:OWN - every article may be edited by anyone, and articles which meet the criteria for speedy deletion may be deleted at any time. You may prefer to create articles in user sub-pages (see Help:Userspace draft), and move them into the main encyclopedia when it is ready. But all articles must comply with Wikipedia's policies - in particular, subjects must be notable and content must be verifiable from reliable sources, and copyrighted material (which includes almost everything on the web, even if it does not bear a copyright notice) must not be copied into Wikipedia - see WP:Copy-paste.

The links in the Welcome paragraph above will tell you more about contributing, and you can always ask advice as explained there. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with File:St Maries, Idaho School Mascot.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:St Maries, Idaho School Mascot.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 09:40, 15 August 2016 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 09:40, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Worldware for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Worldware is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Worldware until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. HouseOfChange (talk) 13:46, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
