Computational forensics

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Computational forensics, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://iwcf08.arsforensica.org/index.php/PreviousEvents/IWCF07report. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Computational forensics

A tag has been placed on Computational forensics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:18, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok, some advice

First, if you are the copyright holder of some material you want to add to wikipedia without limits, you will likely have to release it into the public domain or release it under the Gnu Free Distribution License--the same license wikipedia operates on. For text, this is probably the easiest route to go on. that has a real-life component, because by definition, release under the GFDL means that wikipedia isn't the only entity that can reuse the material. Anyone could. If you feel this is what you want to do, you would need to either post on some website verified to be the copyright owner's (like a university website) or email the Open ticket request system and inform them that you release the text under the public domain. The instructions on how to do so are available at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.

My advice is that you avoid that whole issue. Wikipedia:Your first article gives some basic advice on what to write about. the best piece of advice is, don't write about yourself. Odds are, if you are notable (or your research is) enough for inclusion, someone else will write about you. You will find that it is much more rewarding to write about other subjects. If you write about your own research you will be tempted to cover it in detail not appropriate for a general encyclopedia. You may also be tempted to speak from hidden knowledge--in other words, if you are the expert, you know what is and isn't correct, but none of us can verify that.

If you want to continue to write about Computational forensics, then by all means, do so. What I suggest is that you summarize information from published research on the subject and present an overall view. That will eliminate the need to quote at length (which is usually not needed) and avoid worries about infringing upon copyright (yours or anyone else's). Does that help?

• Thank you, this helps a little. I put a first new version and hope to avoid deleting of the page. More needs to follow, soon. -- Coreyrfreeman (talk) 02:22, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• Good. My followup advice (since you appear to want to keep writing this) is to find another source that mentions the subject in detail. Single source articles on subjects that are both niche and novel are prime targets for deletion. Often the relevant literature will still be embargoed (if it is REALLY new) and not at all accessible to the average wikipedian. In those cases (especially given the prevalence of hoax articles regarding technical subjects), the reasoning is nominate first, ask questions later. If you can get another source that covers the subject (preferably unrelated to you), you will avoid most of that concern. I don't know anything about the field so I probably won't help with the actual editing, but you might be able to ask for help on the project page that this article links to (see the article talk page). They may be able to assist you in filling some details out. Good luck. Protonk (talk) 03:58, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

• Protonk, thanks a lot for your kind assistance. We added several independent sources, and initiated discusses in the community. I hope we can improve on the stub quickly. -- Coreyrfreeman (talk) 19:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
