  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from The Wimbles, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

No sources? Are you kidding? Every assertion you removed is sourced and you reintroduced factual errors.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

You need sources to add that much new info. Grade X (talk) 18:59, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
What are you even talking about? Every single sentence I put in there was sourced. You put wrong and unsourced material back into the article.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
I disagree with you. Grade X (talk) 19:15, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello Grade X, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to The Wimbles has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. You cannot cut and paste material from a copyrighted web page. If you continue to reinsert it you will be blocked. Meters (talk) 19:21, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

You nominated the page for deletion despite it being sourced. An admin will look into your request and make a decision. Until then you have no right to blank the content or you too could find yourself blocked. Grade X (talk) 19:23, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
Go right ahead and report me. I initially nominated it for speedy under A7 since there are no claims of importance. The mere fact that it exists is not sufficient to keep it. I added a speedy for copyright violation since it is nothing but a word for word copy from the source you give for the article, and you keep restoring that copyrighted material.

Too late. I had to find it myself. Grade X (talk) 19:26, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Rick Joyner. Thank you. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:24, 1 February 2014 (UTC)Reply
