Hello, Akbar795/sandbox, and Welcome to editing Wikipedia. I see that you have made a few useful edits to articles, and I hope you will have a successful time here. However, there are a couple of problems with the contents of your sandbox. Most importantly, it is a copy of text at http://www.nicemt.com, which raises the question of whether it may breach copyright. It may well be that you are the copyright holder, and are happy to release the content for reuse, but since anyone can create a Wikipedia account and claim to be anyone, we cannot take the unsubstantiated word of Wikipedia editor that they own copyright. (This is not an academic point: we do frequently get people making false claims of copyright ownership.) Secondly, even if you are the owner of the copyright, you may not wish to release the text for free reuse by anyone anywhere in the world, unchanged or changed, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, which is what you are doing by posting it in Wikipedia. For now, the page will be deleted, and should not be restored without evidence that the content is released under terms consistent with Wikipedia's reuse conditions. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text (which means allowing other people to use modify it, both on Wikipedia and anywhere else they may choose to reuse it) then the easiest way to license it for reuse is to include ''on the external site'' a statement such as "The contents of this page are released for reuse under the terms of the [http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html GNU Free Documentation License], Version 1.2 and later, and the [[Wikipedia:Text of Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License]]." Alternatively, you may also e-mail or mail the Wikimedia Foundation to release the content. See [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]] for more. However, even if you are willing to do that, it is doubtful whether it will be worth your while doing so, as the tone of the text is perhaps somewhat promotional, and not well-suited to Wikipedia, where content should be [[WP:NPOV|neutral]] in tone.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will be removed shortly (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you.Template:Z43 Materialscientist (talk) 08:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
