Psychiatry777 (talk) 17:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for noticing. Obviously, I am new at this.

Here is my question:


A couple weeks ago, I posted a short title page on Richard Mayeux, M.D., with a NPOV. It was pulled as an allleged copyright violation even though Columbia University has the copyright and I posted the text with Dr. Mayeux's permission.

Last week, and again today, I emailed permissions-en@wikimedia.org to say this, but I have not heard back.

I would like to re-post the material, and some other material as well, but I do not want to do so until I am sure doing so would be OK.

Please let me know how I should proceed.

Thanks, Psychiatry777 (talk) 18:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


Excerpt from my email of last week and this week:

I am writing about copyright permissions for Wikipedia entries on faculty members at the New York State Psychiatric Institute/Columbia Department of Psychiatry at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons.

On behalf of Columbia University and the members of its Department of Psychiatry,all of whom have authorized me to act on their behalf, this constitutes a grant to Wikipedia to post the attached Columbia University Department of Psychiatry Faculty Profiles on Wikipedia. We make this grant pursuant to the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license. All copyright interests in the content are owned by Columbia University and the respective faculty members whose profiles are contained in the content.

The faculty entries are based on material published online and accessible from http://asp.cumc.columbia.edu/facdb/psychiatry/search.asp

Userspace pages

You may want to copy the information from that page and create a user sub page and put it in there. (Don't copy the NPOV tag though.)

You can create as many user subpages as you like, to work on articles, experiment, etc. The easiest way to do this is to create links to the non-existent pages on your user page, and then click on them to create them. For example, you could put this on your user page;

* [[User:Psychiatry777/test1]]
* [[User:Psychiatry777/test2]]
* [[User:Psychiatry777/test3]]
* [[User:Psychiatry777/test4]]
* [[User:Psychiatry777/sausages]]

That will display as;

Those will all be red for now, because they do not exist. You can click on them and make them.

You can make as many user subpages as you like, and give them any name. By having the links on your user page, it will be convenient to access them.

For more help, you can either;

  • Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
  • Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
  • Talk to us live, with this or this.

I'm going to leave the helpme tag up there so someone else might be able to give you more information

Best wishes, Cubs197 (talk) 18:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

If you have emailed consent to permissions-en, you can place the {{OTRS-pending}} tag on the talk page of any article containing the copyrighted text. Once the OTRS review has been processed, assuming everything is in order, someone will replace the tag with {{PermissionOTRS}}, so that the request can be verified.

Advice edit

Be aware you will need to rewrite the articles to our style; a good start is our guide to writing Wikipedia articles . Pay particular attention to the way we make links to other Wikipedia articles. Avoid WP:Peacock terms. For any part you quote directly from the published bio, include quotation marks and a reference, but otherwise It is not necessary to cite the basic information in detail to more than the official CV. However, give any actual references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. If they have published books, list them in formal bibliographic style. List their 3 or 4 mot influential articles similarly, getting citation figures from Wed of Science. Include major national level offices and awards, but not minor ones. Be sure to list editorships (but not mere editorial board membership) --we consider it very important, and you should add it to the articles for the relevant journals also, with a link to the bio. If they have any notable students who would qualify for Wikipedia bios, include them. Their PhD & postdoctoral advisors probably also qualify for bios here; add them and link them, even if they do not yet have articles.

Our general level for inclusion is WP:PROF. In practice a full professor at Columbia will meet it, but lower ranks are much less certain. I'm one of the admins who tend to do a good deal of work on articles on academics, so feel free to consult me. DGG (talk) 00:56, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Anissa Abi-Dargham edit

 

A tag has been placed on Anissa Abi-Dargham requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonathan Javitch edit

 

A tag has been placed on Jonathan Javitch 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.

J. John Mann edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of J. John Mann, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.depression-studies.org/about_faculty.html. 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. See our copyright policy for further details.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Maria Oquendo edit

 

A tag has been placed on Maria Oquendo 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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.

Hi there! I'm here in regards to my recent deletion of Maria Oquendo. While I agree that it was purely factual and not promoting any entity, Wikipedia has notability standards that must be met in order for article inclusion. For example, recognition in her field and attention from reliable, verifiable third-party sources are necessary. If you have any questions, my talk page is open. Cheers, Master of Puppets - Call me MoP! :D 01:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hey, sorry about the late reply, I overlooked your comment.
Speedy deletion generally is done immediately if there has been no reasonable opposition and the administrator feels that it is ok to delete. In your case, since you created the page, it should (by default) be added to your Special:Watchlist. When somebody makes a change to that page, your watchlist will alert you; that way, if it is put up for speedy deletion, you can react accordingly. However, if you do not make any note on the page, it will most likely be deleted; at most, you probably have six hours before an administrator gets around to getting it deleted.
Hope that answered your question! If you have any more, I'd love to answer them. Cheers, Master of Puppets - Call me MoP! :D 05:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
You should get a notice on your talk page if a page you've created is put up for speedy deletion. So no, you don't have to monitor every page; someone will notify you. At least, they should. Most administrators will check if the author of a speedied page has been notified, so the chance of an article of yours being deleted without you knowing is very, very slim.
As for your second question; every deleted edit on Wikipedia (except for those oversighted by oversight users) is visible to administrators. I think that normal users can see that there are deleted edits, though they can't access the content that was deleted. So no, a page's past reputation won't tarnish the new page.
Hope I've been helpful! Cheers, Master of Puppets - Call me MoP! :D 17:36, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

{{permissionOTRS}}

I am employed as a Research Scientist by the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI), at the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC). As part of my duties, I work as an editor in the Department of Psychiatry in CUMC. The material I am contributing is biographical material about faculty members in the Department, whom I know personally, as they are my colleagues. The material consists of biographical facts contained in the profiles of faculty members that appear on the Department's website. All of the faculty members have reviewed and approve the content I am submitting.

The material does not express a point of view or an opinion with respect to the profiles of the faculty. Rather, as noted above, it consists only of facts about the faculty. Psychiatry777 (talk) 19:02, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Just FYI edit

I made a few changes to Jeffrey Lieberman to make it conform better with the usual Wikipedia style. Since you've done a fair bit of work with articles like this (THANK YOU!), you might like to have a look. I didn't do everything necessary; I was just trying to give you an example of a few things that should be done. Happy editing, WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:32, 22 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Copyright problem: Alexander Glassman edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Alexander Glassman, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://asp.cumc.columbia.edu/facdb/profile_list.asp?uni=ahg1&DepAffil=Psychiatry, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Alexander Glassman saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! MilborneOne (talk) 21:37, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

COI edit

I notice you declared your COI above, but it is not clear from the description whether or not creating these profiles on Columbia people is part of our job. The rules have recently changed: see our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. Even if you are not paid for these, much of your editing is indistinguishable from n the work of paid promotional editors.

There are a so some problems with the structure of the articles. Most of them do not give such basic facts of biography as the dates of degrees and positions--and in some cases even the schools that award the degrees, they claim accomplishments without providing references -- to say that someone did a study that showed something, you need a references from a third-party independent reliable source, not just what they claim in their own work to have shown, or what the dept's. press agent wrote about them in their profile on the university site; if the subject is of clinical significance, it must also meet the standard of WP:MEDRS. (that's a new requirement since you started editing)

Additionally, it helps to say not just " published over 100 articles in major scientific journals" but to give the count for articles in peer-reviewed journals only, omit adjectives of quality such as "major", and give the 3 or 4 most cited papers, along with citation counts.

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Psychiatry777. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article David Shaffer, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 07:46, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeffrey Lieberman 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 Jeffrey Lieberman, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ukexpat (talk) 17:36, 10 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
