2601:204:CA02:6170:E871:76AE:1916:99EA (talk) 16:01, 23 July 2016 (UTC) Proofs of the binomial theorem appear in the Wikipedia article "Binomial Theorem". However, the proof employing the Taylor's series expansion of the binomial $(x+y)^{n}$ expansion does not. To my knowledge, it does not appear any where in the encyclopedia, Wikipedia. This is in contrast to other technical encyclopedia's and other sources on the web.[reply]

The subject is Draft:Proof of Binomial Theorem Utilizing Taylor's Series. This has been submitted seven times and declined seven times. The proof is inadequately sourced and so appears to be original research. Please stop submitting this draft tendentiously, which could result in its deletion.

The draft has been nominated for deletion as original research that is being tendentiously resubmitted. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:34, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have a number of photographs for this page, none of which are my own work, but each of which I have permission to upload and required attribution from the creators. I am baffled at how to get these images in Wikipedia.

Russ23229 (talk) 20:21, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few comments, not related to photographs. The draft contains a number of external links in the article body. They are not permitted. Make them into references or External Links. Also, many of the Wikipedia references are in the form of external links, https://en.wikipedia .... Make them into internal links with brackets. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:33, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone here help with advice on the uploading of photographs, or should he ask for advice at the Teahouse or the Help Desk? I know that Wikipedia would in general prefer that properly licensed photographs be uploaded into Commons rather than into the English Wikipedia, so that they can also be used for other Wikipedias. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:33, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Russ23229. The procedure is described in the how-to guide Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. The section "When permission is confirmed" includes a link to upload photos to commons (which, as Robert McClenon says, is where they should go), an explanation of where to send the permissions you've received, and how to mark the uploaded images with respect to copyright.

Don't rush into the upload wizard, but take the time to read the whole guide, and also Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials (even though you aren't the one doing the donating). It's important to understand what the creators are giving up and what form the permissions from them must take. Other useful advance reading includes Wikipedia:File names and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images, which will prepare you to answer important questions the upload wizard will ask you. If after that you have any questions or doubts, there is a dedicated help desk for image uploading.

After you've uploaded an image, the picture tutorial can guide you through how to use it in an article. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is the page in question User:Maibam Noor Muhammed/sandbox? If so, it isn't clear whether it is meant to be an encyclopedic draft, or a user page draft. If it is meant to be an encyclopedic draft, it appears to be about a non-notable person, at least, one with no references, and doesn't provide enough information in the article body to establish a credible claim of significance. Wikipedia is not a social medium. If it is meant to be a user page draft, then you may move it to user space without submitting it to AFC for review.
