Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Also, please be aware that for a citation to be valid, it must include certain information (see WP:CIT and WP:CITE). Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Bkissin!

I appreciate that you took the time to come out and look, and I fully understand why an editor would reject a page for plagiarism. I made an attempt a couple of weeks ago to seek clarification, as all of the words were my own. When my article was in the main space, the text from my article was used on another website, which linked to my wiki article. From what I can ascertain, this situation is to be noted here on my talk page, but this is not a Wikipedia violation, or my violation. If you look at the amount of edits that were made, writing the article over several months, it will be clear that my contributions were written by me. Grnhrnt35 (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff

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 Draft:Scottish Feudal Barony of MacDuff 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.baronyofmacduff.org/history. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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.
