This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Henry Baker College, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://henrybakercollege.edu.in/.

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.) MadmanBot (talk) 16:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The contributor edited the whole article after receiving the above message. However, again and again the same matter has been questioning. I (Jenipher Carlos Hosanna) is a staff of Henry Baker College. Of course, I copied the matter (in my ignorance), but I deleted the whole content and typed a new one with new sentences. My name is there in the website of Henry Baker College. This is not a copyright violation in any way. I am also a nodal officer for All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) representing the college. I know everything about the college very well. Please help me to publish this article. I am a beginner in Wikipedia. I have to give a lot of positive information about this college. My article is not complete.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Henry Baker College 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://henrybakercollege.edu.in/. 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.

How to work on articles closely connected to you

edit

Hello, Hosannagardens. :)

Thank you for starting the article on Henry Baker College. Wikipedia unfortunately suffers from a natural bias caused by the nationalities and locations of most of our editors, so international subjects do not always receive the coverage they should.

While we do need verification of license from the school to use content from their websites (see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the process), I think it's important that we keep an article on the college. I've simply reduced it to bare facts for now. I would have liked to have written more, but typically ran into some problems with finding sources.

This leads into the second issue I should discuss with you: sources.

Because Wikipedia is a crowd-sourced project, the volunteers who created it have had to make some firm rules around sourcing so that our readers can verify that content is accurate. Sometimes this means true information is omitted simply because it doesn't meet the verification policy. To avoid issues, what we call "original research" (including our own observations and knowledge) is strictly forbidden. It does not matter if the person writing an article is an expert in the field or a person off the street, all content must refer to published, reliable sources. (See WP:IRS for identifying what those are.)

I did a Google book search and Google news search for Henry Baker College, but, as I say, found little. There's ample verification that it exists, but not much detail. :/

We can add some detail from the official site, but we have to be very careful with the detail we add. Official sites are sources connected to article subjects are presumed (naturally) to have bias, so content taken from them has to be strictly and demonstrably factual. If content seems in any way to praise the subject, the source needs to be something else. We could not say something like "Infact, this is the only college in Kerala which works for the upliftment of Tribal People in hilly areas of the State" without an inline citation from a very reliable source.

Beyond this, those who are affiliated with the subjects they write about are presumed to be at greater risk of "conflict of interest" as likely to be biased, even if they don't fully recognize it. For this reason, we ask people who are connected to article subjects to carefully review and fully comply with the recommendations in that linked guideline.

I hope that you will help expand the article with content sourced to reliable, independent publications.

If you have any questions about how this is done or any aspect of Wikipedia, you may want to visit the WP:TEAHOUSE, which is meant to be a welcoming environment for newcomers. Wikipedia can be baffling when you first start, and it's nice to have a friendly place to go. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:22, 10 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Neyyattinkara, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nadar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello Hosannagardens. This message is part of a mass mailing to people who appear active in reviewing articles for creation submissions. First of all, thank you for taking part in this important work! I'm sorry this message is a form letter – it really was the only way I could think of to covey the issue economically. Of course, this also means that I have not looked to see whether the matter is applicable to you in particular.

The issue is in rather large numbers of copyright violations ("copyvios") making their way through AfC reviews without being detected (even when easy to check, and even when hallmarks of copyvios in the text that should have invited a check, were glaring). A second issue is the correct method of dealing with them when discovered.

If you don't do so already, I'd like to ask for your to help with this problem by taking on the practice of performing a copyvio check as the first step in any AfC review. The most basic method is to simply copy a unique but small portion of text from the draft body and run it through a search engine in quotation marks. Trying this from two different paragraphs is recommended. (If you have any question about whether the text was copied from the draft, rather than the other way around (a "backwards copyvio"), the Wayback Machine is very useful for sussing that out.)

If you do find a copyright violation, please do not decline the draft on that basis. Copyright violations need to be dealt with immediately as they may harm those whose content is being used and expose Wikipedia to potential legal liability. If the draft is substantially a copyvio, and there's no non-infringing version to revert to, please mark the page for speedy deletion right away using {{db-g12|url=URL of source}}. If there is an assertion of permission, please replace the draft article's content with {{subst:copyvio|url=URL of source}}.

Some of the more obvious indicia of a copyvio are use of the first person ("we/our/us..."), phrases like "this site", or apparent artifacts of content written for somewhere else ("top", "go to top", "next page", "click here", use of smartquotes, etc.); inappropriate tone of voice, such as an overly informal tone or a very slanted marketing voice with weasel words; including intellectual property symbols (™,®); and blocks of text being added all at once in a finished form with no misspellings or other errors.

I hope this message finds you well and thanks again you for your efforts in this area. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:20, 18 November 2014 (UTC).Reply

License tagging for File:Henry Baker College, Melukavu.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Henry Baker College, Melukavu.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 20 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
