Shorinjiryu Koshinkai edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Shorinjiryu Koshinkai, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.shishikai.com/shorinjiryu_australia.htm.

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.)

How to verify copyright permission for article Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo edit

Hello, Desparoz,

Thank you for your interest in donating material from http://www.shishikai.com/shorinjiryu_australia.htm to Wikipedia. Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The article has been blanked to allow time for that verification to proceed.

The simplest way to verify is to place a release on that external website putting the material into public domain or co-licensing it under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which permit modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given. This release is irrevocable and must continue to be displayed, or the material may need to be removed. A statement such as the following would be sufficient: "The contents of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GNU Free Documentation License, unversioned with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts." If you decide to take this route, please put a link to that release on Talk:Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo so we can restore the contents.

Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL. There is a boilerplate release form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries which can be helpful. Please provide a clear link to the website in your e-mail and specify by name the articles on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents will be restored if your release is legally sufficient. Please make a note that you've done this on Talk:Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo to help guard against premature deletion of the page. You can compose a note or very simply paste the following on the talk page, brackets and all: {{OTRS pending}}

If you decide you don't wish to release the material into public domain or under the terms of CC-BY-SA and GFDL, you are welcome to rewrite the text from scratch at this temporary page. As long as the material is otherwise compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, it will be used to replace the previous contents. Please leave a note at Talk:Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo saying you have done so.

We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement.

Before verifying permission, please first review the material to ensure that is compliant with Wikipedia's requirements for verifiability and neutrality and does not contain "original research". (If you are closely related to the subject matter, you may also want to read our conflict of interest guidelines; if you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you should review Wikipedia:Starting an article or Wikipedia:Your first article.) Even if permission is verified, material may be modified or removed if it is otherwise inconsistent with our policies and guidelines.

The article will be revisited in about a week to see what additional steps have been taken or may be necessary. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at my talk page. We also have a help desk which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers.

Thank you. --CharlieDelta (talk) 20:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Thanks for your message on my Talk page and for the work you've done to address the copyright issues. This will be reviewed as soon as possible.--CharlieDelta (talk) 21:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi, thanks for the prompt feedback. Look forward to resolving this. Desparoz (talk) 21:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I noticed that the initial flagging was done on the 8th of January, with a 7 day warning. Just concerned that the page may be deleted, so wondering how the process is going, and if there is anything I can do to assist! Cheers. Des Paroz 03:07, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo edit

 

The article Shorinjiryu Koshinkai Karatedo has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems to be a school of karate rather than a style in and of itself, hence it is not notable enough for a page. A mention of this school could be included in the main Shōrinjiryū Kenkōkan Karatedo article. The page also seems likely written by someone with a very close link to the school, rather than being drawn from proper sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Koshinkai Organisation Logo.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Koshinkai Organisation Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:21, 15 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
