Coburg Superules Football Club

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Coburg Superules Football Club, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.coburgsuperules.com.au/history.html.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Coburg Superules Football Club

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 Coburg Superules Football Club 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.coburgsuperules.com.au/history.html. 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. - MrX 00:17, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

 
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
    • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
    • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 01:49, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I'm new to this side of Wikipedia, I've been using (and donating) to wikipedia for years but I've never been an editor till now. The information I am presenting is regarding a not for profit football club, like many of the 1000s upon 1000s of football club that exist on Wikipedia. I'm am not attempting any gratuitous promotion but simply to tell a history and a story of our club. I have been charged with and entrusted with this role as the nominated Secretary of the Coburg Superules Football Club. Also this page is not in breach of copyright as this information is made public by the club. It does appear on our website but it is not copyright information. Again this has been a learning experience for me. I hope this message sees you well and can resolve the issue quickl

Decline reason:


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Please note: If the text has been published, it IS copyright and so not usable here. Publication automatically gives copyright, whether you want it or not. Putting something on a website that is accessible by the public is publication, even though there is no C mark on the page. Had it been licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL, it could have been used - but this license is for all time and can't be revoked. Wikipedia is licensed for reuse under these licences, and that's why we can't use copyright text. Apart from this, I can see no sign that the club passes WP:GROUP which is the relevant policy on notability. Wikipedia is not a directory, and not every club gets an article. Also needed are reliable independent sources WP:RS to prove the notability. Peridon (talk) 10:19, 24 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ok well don't expect too much out of me and my friends in the future when you come pleading for donations. I would like the account disabled please.

It is as disabled as can be. No-one can use it (apart from you on this page), but it can't be deleted. The system doesn't allow it for assorted reasons. Unofficially, you can blank this page. You're not supposed to, but I don't think anyone will worry. And, be honest. If your page HAD been allowed, WOULD you have donated? It's actually quite amazing how many people whose articles have been deleted claim to have given donations for years. I believe them, of course ;-) but it doesn't give them any getaround for the site rules. Me, I don't donate cash. Just time. It's more interesting than television.
