Your edit to Driss Chraibi has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

@Drmies:, Hello, I am sorry, I did not know I should not do that and I appreciate if you could tell me how I can get a knowledge of all these rules. Thanks. Idris1965 (talk) 19:33, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Idris1965, you can't copy things off the internet and paste them in here. The links are in the message above but it probably starts with Wikipedia:Copyrights. And I was a bit sad to discover this, since our coverage of writers like Chraibi is already pretty minimal, and needs a lot of work--and now there is even less, because I had to scrub it from the article. Also, text here needs to be neutral; that line about the Celine-like intransigence and fury was a giveaway that we were dealing here with unencyclopedic material. For comparison you can look at Assia Djebar, which has a bunch of decent references and parts of the article are pretty good. We need to aim for the quality of Edward Said. [Naguib Mahfouz]] isn't bad, but needs more references. Drmies (talk) 21:05, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Sanaa El Aji, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

@DMySon: Hello, I worked on the article and added some text and sources. I, originally translated this article from Wikipedia Italian. I wonder if you check it and possibly take it out of the Draft. Thank you and Best Regards. Idris1965 (talk) 16:15, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can see you have already submitted the draft for review. Now other editors will come and review it. Please have patience! DMySon (talk) 04:18, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sanaa El Aji, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
