Pain of Poor

Wikisource does not accept original pieces of writing. All works must have been published elsewhere previously, and must be in the public domain. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikisource, the library that is free for everyone to use! In discussions, please "sign" your comments using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username if you're logged in (or IP address if you are not) and the date. If you need help, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question here (click edit) and place {{helpme}} before your question.

Again, welcome! Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Can we draw your attention to the essay linked above called What Wikisource Includes, and in particular the section on original contributions? This is why most self-published works are deleted.

I have moved the Author: page you have created into your User: space. It does not conform to the general standards of Author: pages here. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
