A tag has been placed on :Taraneh Javanbakht, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, {{#if:|at {{{2}}}|such as at Articles for Deletion}}. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discusion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Taraneh+Javanbakht|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.  I dream of horses {{small| If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message }} {{small|(talk to me) (My edits)}} @ 06:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, Amidewiki,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Tebyan Cultural Institute should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tebyan Cultural Institute .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm Megalibrarygirl. Amidewiki, thanks for creating Iran Book News Agency!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. IBNA does seem notable, but finding sources ABOUT IBNA and not published by them is important. I found two mentions. [http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/babylonbeyond/2010/11/iran-book-reading-fair-islam-interest-vanishing-culture-.html LA Times] and [http://www.newsweek.com/paulo-coehlo-banned-iran-67049 Newsweek]. You may want to see if there are any sources in Persian or Farsi. I'm sure there are! Fix this problem and the article should be good. Try posting for language help (if you need it) at Wikipedia:WikiProject Iran.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

File:Information.svg Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with :Tebyan Cultural Institute. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about {{diff|Tebyan Cultural Institute|prev|793405491|this edit}}, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 15:06, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

You must not move a page by copying it wholesale as you did to "create" Tebyan Cultural and Information Institute. This destroys the page history - in this case you had done almost all the editing of the page, but even so the history should be kept. There is a formal procedure for "Moving" a page to a new title. Because the new title now has a history, we will need to use the Request move procedure. Please don't cause confusion by doing things like this. Thanks. PamD 16:05, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

File:Control copyright icon.svg Hello Amidewiki, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to :Tebyan Cultural Institute have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/619/01/ hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue].) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:09, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Amidewiki, thanks for creating List of Iranian senators!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add your source.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Marc Mézard, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages French and Administrator ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Marc_M%C3%A9zard check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Marc_M%C3%A9zard?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). 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.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taraneh Javanbakht (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
