Hello! Regarding the AFd for the photography club, you will not win any friends by soliciting new users (IP editors in this case) to come to vote there, if that is what is happening. Please also lay back on the comments. Arguing with experienced editors is a but pointless if you are new, as the experienced editors have been to hundreds or thousands of these discussions. See also WP:BADGERING. You actually don't need to argue it: there are lots of sources and it will very likely be kept. The above actions do not help your cause though.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I was wondering if you could tell me how much of the two articles you created yesterday was copy/pasted directly from the sources, and how much of the copy you had to write from scratch? Just curious.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:15, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

It was nice talking to you. I know you were well intentioned, but you broke a LOT of rules! I would suggest taking a local college course on how to write Wikipedia articles.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:03, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am an new user and I wanted to create a page about the hard work and effort of youth in the Pinehouse Photography Club. I started the page very unfinished and didnt realize I should have saved it as a draft first. It went up for deletion and I got worried. Worried I didnt know how to edit a wiki page with html well. As a photographer with over 43,000 not connected in anyway to this club - people from USA, Canada, all over the world - I posted the link to the club on wiki and asked if anyone could help edit the page and make it better. I was told because of COI because I started the club I couldn't edit the page anymore, so I asked them for help, all 43,000 of them. Not for pay or for any reason but to edit the page and ensure it was done correctly. I know why the page went up for deletion...there was nothing really done yet..barely any references.
Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

A tag has been placed on Pinehouse Photography Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.pinehousepc.com/pinehouse-photography-club. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 deleted 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:26, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Diannaa 🍁 (talk) From asking around, looks like the page from wiki was copied by the club director and posted on their web page, not the other way around. It was a mirror. Is there no way to identify that it was written on wiki? Regardless I obviously didn't know the rules and unfortunately this had to happen. Because of my COI, I sure hope someone understands why a nurse who sees youth with depression/suicide/addiction in a rural north community would want to share the clubs accomplishments wrong or right, so others can see what works...so other youth can be saved an helped this way. Other organizations might way to start their own club like this. It was my way of advocating for all the youth going through depression and what not or thinking about suicide. Alone, cut down a kid hanging from a tree in middle of the night, or walk into a room with brain matter all over the walls, and you too will understand why creating this page was so important. What the club is doing is so important. Mistakes were made and I know them now. Hopefully some day I'll get a chance to prove that I know them. My wish someone else would create the club page again :( Thank you and my apologizes. --Dreerwin (talk) 13:32, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello, Dreerwin
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Velella and it's nice to meet you :-)
I wanted to let you know that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Therapeutic photography, for deletion because it meets one of the relevant criterion. The particular issue can be located in the notice, that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to prevent the deletion:
((proposed deletion/dated...))
But, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the raised issues. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Velella))
. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~
