Speedy deletion nomination of Winston Simone

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 Winston Simone 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.primarywavemusic.com/pages/about/. 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. EuroCarGT 13:37, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

COI

Hello, Kid989. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. - 2/0 (cont.) 16:33, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Donating copyrighted content

Hi, thank you for your interest in Wikipedia and for the article you posted earlier, Winston Simone. Unfortunately, it appeared to be substantively similar to [1], including several duplicated phrases; it may not have been copyright infringement in the usual sense since you helped write the original material, but that page makes a credible assertion of copyright over the content. All Wikipedia articles are licensed by WP:CC-BY-SA, a Creative Commons license that allows for redistribution by any third party for pretty much any purpose, including commercial use, without recompense or prior consultation. Please see also Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. If you control the material at that site, the simplest way to release it under a compatible license is simply to put a notice of copyright on the relevant pages. Please be aware, though, that any such release will apply to use and re-use by anyone and everyone, not just Wikipedia; moreover, the article here will be edited and will in time come to no longer reflect the original text. There is a secondary concern, in that articles here need to focus on summarizing how topics have been treated in independent reliable sources, such as newspapers, trade publications, and books from respected publishing houses, and should not be unduly promotional. Please see Wikipedia:Your first article for some more helpful advice on getting into the swing of encyclopedia writing. If you have any questions or I may help with anything, please do not hesitate to swing by my talkpage. Happy editing, - 2/0 (cont.) 16:33, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
