Speedy deletion nomination of User:Courbebaisse edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Courbebaisse requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.vph-noe.eu/vph-projects/74-eu-fp7-vph-projects/504-thrombus. 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. 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

November 2013 edit

Hello Courbebaisse, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to User:Courbebaisse has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The source was http://www.vph-noe.eu/vph-projects/74-eu-fp7-vph-projects/504-thrombus in this case DES (talk) 13:57, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Courbebaisse (talk) 14:05, 3 November 2013 (UTC) Hello, Thanks for your return on the page Thrombus! The text in this page is the text, in part, that I written when submitting the Thrombus project! That is to say that this is my text! My objective is to aware people via Wikipedia that a project named 'Thrombus' is running.Reply

But if you think that this is not good for edition, I will take the time to write a new text.

Sincerely. GC

Since we have no way to know that you are in fact the same person who wrote and published the text, there is a somewhat complex process to go through before such outside text can be accepted here. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for details. In any case, the nature and tone of the paper are really not suitable for a Wikipedia article, so a re-write would be desirable if it were to be included. But before you go to that effort, consider our guideline on notability. The subject of a Wikipedia article should have been covered in multiple independent reliable sources. This means sources that are not self-published, have a reputation for accuracy, and are not affiliated with the subject. If this hasn't happened, the Wikipedia article should not be created and if created, will probably be deleted fairly soon. Also, sicne it seems you are affiliated with this project, please read our conflict of interest guideline. In general you should not write about subjects you are clsoely assocaited with, as it is hard for most people to be neutral and objective in such cases. Feel free to ask me or at the help desk for clarification. DES (talk) 15:12, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
(edit conflict) The question wasn't quality, it was copyright. The text you used was copyright - and it matters little whose. If it's been published, it's automatically copyright, in most cases. Some government departments are copyright free zones, and some individuals waive their copyright. Wikipedia is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 for free reuse anywhere by anyone - subject only to acknowledgement of the source. Your text isn't licensed in that way, and that conflicts with our licence. (Any editing contributions to Wikipedia are technically the copyright of the editor, but by saving, they agree to license under CC.) It's easier to rewrite than to license... Now, as to making people aware of your project, I must point out that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and isn't here for promoting things, whether it be a multi-national corporation or a very noble cause. Whatever the subject, there has to by notability (by our standards contained in our policies). In this case I'm not sure whether WP:CORP or WP:GROUP applies, but the principle is similar. There has to be a claim to notability backed up with reliable independent sources WP:RS. It's RS that is often the problem. There are quite a few organisations doing important work (or companies doing profitable work) that don't get known about widely and can boast no real RS type sources. Independent and reliable (not 'or') sources don't include your own sites (may be reliable - lots aren't...), blogs and press releases (neither classed as independent and reliable), or even Wikipedia (fairly accurate on the whole, but editable by anyone so not reliable). If you have another go, collect the references first. Sounds a backwards way of doing from an academic point of view, perhaps, but safer. Post them at User:Courbebaisse/DRAFT (click it and save), then ask for advice. If they pass, I can get a rescuer to help with the article construction. No point yet - try for refs first. OK? Good luck. Peridon (talk) 15:20, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ok thanks so much I understand the situation! I will prepare ~later an other page more adapted to your encyclopedia! Kind regards. GC Courbebaisse (talk) 15:40, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
