Speedy deletion nomination of Derek Gleeson edit

 

A tag has been placed on Derek Gleeson 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

August 2009 edit

  Your recent addition to Derek Gleeson has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Irbisgreif (talk) 02:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Derek Gleeson. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. I just wanted you to be aware of other concerns with the article. This isn't meant as an attack.

Resolving the copyright status at Derek Gleeson edit

Hello,

We took note of your assertion of ownership of the material posted on [1]. Unfortunately, since we do not verify user identities upon account creation, we need to verify that you are indeed the owner of said material through the means highlighted at WP:DCM.

Please understand that Wikipedia takes copyright issues seriously, and as a consequence, cannot keep apparent copyright issues on display until they have been resolved. This is meant to protect both Wikipedia but also third party authors and their intellectual property.

If it is not feasible to comply with WP:DCM, it is still possible to write a new article from scratch using the temporary subpage link highlighted, in bold, on the text now replacing the article. If you chose to go that route, please re-write the entire article in your own words, and avoid using the copy / paste function altogether.

At the same rate, I would also like to caution you that in its present state, the article fails many other of our guidelines, and this situation may still lead to the article's deletion even if the copyright issue is resolved. I would like to encourage you to read through WP:FIRST, an essay about writing your first article, in order to understand what is needed to have an article on Wikipedia. I must further point out to you that creating and editing your autobiography on Wikipedia is heavily discouraged, as pointed out above.

If you need any help, you can create a new section here and add {{helpme}} below it, someone will be along shortly to assist you. Alternatively, you can also leave me a message on my talk page. Best, MLauba (talk) 11:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Update regarding copyright concern edit

Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. Thank you.

WP:COI violation; inappropriate removal of referenced material edit

Please read and follow Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline. In addition, three of your edits inappropriately deleted information from Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra.

This is a formal level 2 warning:   Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

  This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:57, 17 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Three revert rule edit

You have been blocked for 24 hours under the three revert rule. If you wish to appeal please contact another administrator or the mailing list.. Section blanking to remove material when you appear to have a conflict of interest is also problematical.©Geni 23:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Indefinitely blocked edit

I have indefinitely blocked you for this legal threat, which is expressly not allowed on Wikipedia. You will not be unblocked unless you unequivocally retract your legal threat or until said legal proceedings conclude; details are in the below standard block notice:

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. –MuZemike 20:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

There have been repeated deletions of text I have added to contest the mis quotes by another editor regarding a NY Times article. There have also been deletions of texts added by others.Promoting misinformation. This need s to stop. I don't know who these people are but they have motives seem malicious.

Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra edit

Some advice about editing this article. First, as the conductor, you have a conflict of interest. That means you really shouldn't edit the article directly. Instead, you should express your concerns on the article's Talk page.

Also, things that you know as "facts" cannot be included in Wikipedia articles as they constitute original research, which is prohibited. Wikipedia is all about assertions that are backed up by reliable and verifiable sources. In terms of the recent controversy, the New York Times is generally considered a reliable source. Therefore, if the NYT reports something, usually Wikipedia can then include information from the NYT article in a Wikipedia article. If you believe the NYT got it wrong, you have to find other reliable sources that contradict the NYT. Otherwise, you're going to have a great deal of trouble eliminating the material from the article, even if you know it's wrong. I know that may seem unfair to you, but that's the way Wikipedia works.

Again, I strongly advise you to raise your concerns on the Talk page. If you still feel you're not being listened to, then raise your concerns on WP:BLPN or some other appropriate forum. Remember, though, you should never threaten anyone or attack anyone. Try to keep your substance and tone civil and professional.

I hope this helps a little.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello edit

My name is Garrett Fitzgerald, and I'm one of the editors and administrators here. I've been playing clarinet since 1976, was accepted to (but did not attend) Oberlin Conservatory, and have conducted the community band of which I'm currently a member several times. I just wanted to drop in here, in case you wanted to talk to someone with a musical background about the problems you've been having lately with Wikipedia's procedures and policies.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:31, 21 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. mabdul 19:37, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:DPO Beijing 2010.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 01:43, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ceoil Productions Ireland 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 Ceoil Productions Ireland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.
