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 Bermingham Castles (Ireland) 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, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Rcsprinter (orate) 16:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Bermingham Castles of Ireland

Hi Dougbermingham

I see the page you created and edited on Bermingham Castles of Ireland (good work by the way with the photos etc, pretty thorough), has an indication that the text is from your own book (possibly unpublished). This can be a copyright problem for Wikipedia as there is no formal way to know that the book's author has given permission. And even doing so informally may not make it clear that you're happy with all the permissions you give away when you post to Wikipedia (e.g. that anyone can take your work and re-use it, even commercially without any furthr permission from you).

The good news is this is easily fixed if you have not e.g. assigned the rights to a publisher. I think you would need to donate the copyright to Wikipedia. A good start point is here Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

Because I'm not sure precisely what needs to be done (the heavy-handed approach is to delete text which is suspected to have copyright problems, and I don't think that's appropriate as the article is clearly written in good faith), I've put a link on a page that flags copyright concerns: Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 November 1. Hopefully someone there can chip in with better advice. Tt 225 (talk) 00:32, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Mr. Bermingham. I'm an administrator who works copyright problems on Wikipedia, and I'm here to talk to you a bit about the issues here. I have blanked the article for now; I hope we'll be able to restore it soon. We just need to work out the copyright issues here.

First, can you please identify here who published your book and when? If you have the ISBN number, that would be handy. I have not yet been able to find any reference to this book. As Tt 225 notes, we need to work out whether you retain rights to license this content or if you have surrendered them to your publisher. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:03, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your clarification. Since you do not yet have a publisher, there's no concern that somebody else retains rights to any of the content, and since the book is not yet published the procedures for verifying are not necessary. I've restored the content. I have, however, removed the title of the book from the references. While we do appreciate your sharing your work, we are not able to cite your book at this point as it does not yet constitute a a reliable source; see WP:SOURCES. Certainly once it has found a home and been released, it may be appropriate to include. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 01:21, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
