Nathaniel avorn edit

A tag has been placed on Nathaniel avorn, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Nathaniel avorn is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Nathaniel avorn. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. DVD+ R/W 02:22, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Academic detailing. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Alphachimp talk 17:21, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles as it is considered vandalism. You may place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page if you oppose an article's speedy deletion. Thanks. Alphachimp talk 17:22, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding commercial links to Wikipedia, as you did in ISPE. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks.

Regarding Academic Detailing edit

Hey. New user to Wikipedia here. I come in peace. I made a place holder article (stub?) for Academic Detailing that was a copy from a scientific journal article (JAMA is the journal.) It was flagged to be deleted because it was copywritten. Based on my very limited understanding of copyright law, I decided to err on the side of caution and take it down, replacing it with (mostly) original text. I don't think that this is vandalism.

Thanks for the conscientious reply. I'm posting this on both my and your talk page, but it would be a little bit easier if you replied on mine. We can't make "placeholders" for articles that we don't have any content for. A stub would be something like a few sentences long, and that would be just fine.
As for copying out of JAMA (I have a little bit of experience with it), it is a copywritten journal. I doubt that they grant the right to reproduce their content. Even so, Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT) just a collection of source materials.
As for the vandalism warning...you removed a speedy deletion notice from the page when you reworded it. It is never, ever acceptable to remove a speedy delete unless you are an administrator or the person that added it.
The other warning was for adding redirects to your article.
I hope that makes things a little bit more clear. Don't let this scare you off. Wikipedia is a pretty open and nice place. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns. --Alphachimp talk 17:36, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Jerryavorn.jpg edit

 

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:05, 13 May 2016 (UTC)Reply
