Disambiguation link notification for September 7 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nevada Division of Forestry, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Watersheds. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nevada Office of Veterans Services 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 Nevada Office of Veterans Services requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.lumension.com/device-control-software/usb-security-protection/customers.aspx?rpLeadSourceId=L1905. 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 or other printed material 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 "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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:00, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Dude, You're Screwed requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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".

Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology edit

Checking your new article, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, I tried a google search for some of its text, "provides earth-science education and in-service teacher training and continuing education for professional geoscientists" and "provides special services in the field of analytical geochemistry and assay standards, mineral and rock identification".

While there was no match, Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology was ranked high in the results for both chunks. I can see you're paying attention to the notices you were given and trying to avoid copyright infringement, I'd just encourage you to keep it in mind.

Also, there's no need to bold the name of the bureau and restate its acronym every time it's used, just once at the start is enough.

Happy editing, Cabayi (talk) 08:44, 19 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ninjidiannaa;

Articles printed for public view and referenced like those posted to the world wide web are for public view and use. This is the difference between internet (public) and intranet (private). When one uses an article and posts facts shared by the author, then credit belongs to the author. One can subscribe to services like JSTOR and by doing so, have free range of thousands of documents. The only caveat is that authors should be cited / referenced for their work. (which I have complied with) When facts or opinions discovered by the author are referenced, then appropriate and common sense citations universally accepted in the world of research can move forward. Millions of research papers are written with this premise, unless it's a personal interview which obviously requires permission from the author. Authors of articles use a term known as PUBLISHING, it's a term that takes works and makes it available to the masses, folk like you and I to read, reference and cite.

An example would be if one were to write a research paper on Einsteins Theories. Hardly is it appropriate for one to personally contact Einstein and ask for permission, as he is no longer living, nor is it necessary to ask for those who manage his estate. What I did do and what 90% of all Wikipedians do, is to use documents and resources that are already published for public viewing, then cite the source. Siting the source is not the same and receiving personal permission from the author. If you are in fact inferring that ALL articles written in Wikipedia using facts fall under permission than everyone citing facts need personal permission from the authors. Wikipedia then needs to publish all the written permission letters as well as all the citations. There is a difference between citation of fact, and plagiarism. To read an article, uncover facts, cite the facts in ones own words then cite / reference the fact, is not a Copy Right Violation. Your accusation is (completely unreasonable). If however you absolutely feel you are accurate, them, please follow your prescription below to the editors of the article.

The Editors of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have not received permission from maroni, Jesus Christ, nor Alma, to post their thoughts, opinions and works. Perhaps it's time that the editors go back and get full written permission from these individuals to cite their thoughts and opinions, otherwise under you argument, It's all infringement and a violation of Wikipedia. This seems to be what you are suggesting and perhaps we need to open your thoughts to ALL of wikipedia for their input?

If the Article is CLOSED to editing, please state it as such, if you are deliberately blocking editing of Wikipedia articles because of your close personal ties to the subject, you are in violation of Wikipedia policy. Otherwise it's unclear as to what you are suggesting. If it's that latter, then, perhaps one needs to become familiar with the mission statement of Wikipedia. Please help keep Wikipedia an open source of information based on facts, not emotions.

The material you added was at least in part copied from http://irdialogue.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/issue-12-FINAL-4_28_13-1-rs.pdf, a copyright web page. Under the terms of the Berne Convention, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright. All content you add to this wiki needs to be written in your own words. Exceptions include works of the US Government and material specifically released under license. Even then, proper attribution is required. Have a look at some of the links I placed on your talk page for more information on copyright law and how it applies to Wikipedia editing. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 03:08, 22 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Nevada Department of Veterans Services edit

Hello Beesmill,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Nevada Department of Veterans Services for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Onel5969 TT me 11:04, 29 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
