User talk:Vlas2000

Welcome!

Hello, Vlas2000, 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, such as Folklore Museum (Lehovo), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} 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:

Speedy deletion nomination of Folklore Museum (Lehovo)[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 Folklore Museum (Lehovo) 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Museum articles[edit]

Hello! Welcome, and nice additions. However, please be careful when naming your articles. If disambiguation is unnecessary, please stick with the common name. For instance, there is only one Fort Roupel, so there is no need to add anything in parentheses after it. Also, I strongly advise you to take the time and edit your new articles for style issues, to find appropriate categories, add links, and in general to make them present a more "finished" look. Creating lots of articles by dumping text from a website is not the proper way to do things. Constantine ✍ 16:55, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, also make sure you are not creating articles that already exist. Most of the museums of Thessaloniki have their own articles: Museums in Thessaloniki. Constantine ✍ 18:08, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello[edit]

Hello Vlas. This morning I fixed up your article, Fossil Exhibition (Nostimo). If you look at it, it will perhaps give you some idea how to fix up your other articles. However... it is difficult to know if the subject(s) of some of your articles are really notable enough to have their own Wikipedia article. To prove that these places are notable, it is not enough to show that they have their own website. You have to find other places on the web or in print where these museums have been written up or reviewed, and those sources need to be reputable, in other words not just someone's blog or similar, but something more impressive that that. If there are no sources outside of the museum's own website, then the chances are that your articles will be deleted, so really it is most important to work on this. Thanks and best wishes to you, Invertzoo (talk) 17:52, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Invertzoo and thank you for the tips. Considering the notability of the articles, I was not aware of these requirements. I intend to collect more references for each one in order to make them worthy of staying in WIkipedia. Vlas2000 (talk) 10:47, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great Vlas, because it would be nice if all these interesting museums could have their own article. Hopefully you can find refs for all or most of them. Even a good solid ref in another language is OK. Best wishes, Invertzoo (talk) 22:38, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2012[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to User:Patrinos/sandbox/Costume Museum (Kastoria) with this edit, did not appear to be constructive, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:43, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, User Patrinos was aware of my deleting his sandbox entries. I didn't think this would be considered a problem since he was not going to complain. In any case I have notified him to make the appropriate deletions. Vlas2000 (talk) 10:42, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Copypasting[edit]

Please note that you created the article Vourkas Mansion (Kozani) by copypasting there the text from the website. I had to remove the text completely and replace it by two lines. Please never do it again, as this is in breach of copyright. If you ever do it again, you will be reported to administrators, and your abilities to edit Wikipedia may be restricted. Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:12, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe there is copyright problem, since the original site's credits page specifically allows copying the material. At any rate, the text can serve as a starting point for a more complete article. Vlas2000 (talk) 20:24, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies then. Indeed, the text is under CC-BY-SA. It is not a good style to copypaste external texts though.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:40, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Natural History Museum (Axioupoli)[edit]

The article Natural History Museum (Axioupoli) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable, does not meet GNG, dead-end, needs wikification, advertising, orphaned, fails WP:V

While all 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Museum of Gold and Silver -smithery, Folklore, and History (Nymfaio)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Museum of Gold and Silver -smithery, Folklore, and History (Nymfaio), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.
