File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Methodology Chart.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Methodology Chart.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

File:Methodology Chart.png has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at File talk:Methodology Chart.png and send an email with the message to permissions-enwikimedia.org. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:NomoGaia Logo.jpg.png

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 File:NomoGaia Logo.jpg.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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. ukexpat (talk) 13:44, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of NomoGaia

The article NomoGaia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:44, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of NomoGaia for deletion

Nature of user accounts, and copyrights

I thought I'd drop a friendly note to explain a couple of basic principles about user accounts and how they work, so that you can avoid the morass of copyright and other issues that (I fear) you are heading into. Most importantly, you need to understand that your user account is for you, the individual - you may *happen* to be, for example, executive director of an NGO but your account is for you, the single person, not for the NGO or for any other people who may be affiliated with it. Indeed "role" accounts are forbidden on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#Role_accounts. You're one step toward the good in that you're using your name, and not that of your employer, but still for all copyright purposes here, you and NomoGaia are separate entities. Thus if NomoGaia owns the copyright to certain text or images (which is presumed, when something is published by NomoGaia, under NomoGaia's name), you can't, as an individual, reproduce that material without copyright issues. Of course you may be able to use your authority within NomoGaia to cause NomoGaia to release the subject material under a license appropriate to reproduction in Wikipedia, but you can't - as I think you have been trying - simply assert that you have the authority to reproduce NomoGaia-copyrighted material by virtue of your position. If you want to reproduce NomoGaia's material in Wikipedia then you need to get NomoGaia to say okay. I don't know much about the process, but you can get started with this link - Wikipedia:Contributing_FAQ#Copyrights.

I would add that in addition to the foregoing, it's generally not a good idea either to have a substantial hand in editing articles where you have a conflict of interest (see WP:COI), nor to incorporate material created by the subject of an article *in* the article word-for-word, inasmuch as such material tends to be written from a particular point of view and as such is likely to run afoul of Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy - see WP:NPOV.

Truth be told, I'm really in a bit over my head with all of this copyright stuff, so I may not be the best one to come back to for specific advice, but I did see you heading in a direction that was going to - will - cause you to butt heads with some pretty clear Wikipedia policies, and I thought I'd at least give you a head's-up and a couple of pointers on where to start looking around. Good luck with your editing! JohnInDC (talk) 14:57, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Also - there's also a good chance that the article is going to be deleted for failure to meet Wikipedia's general notability requirements. See WP:Org for a primer on how that would apply to NomoGaia. What you're going to need are independent and reliable third party sources to establish that NomoGaia is "notable" in the Wikipedia sense. Today, it looks pretty iffy. But if you're right, that in a while NomoGaia is going to be receiving some third party attention, then you can reintroduce the article. It may just be too soon right now.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rights & Democracy HRIA Case Studies.pdf

A tag has been placed on File:Rights & Democracy HRIA Case Studies.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

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. Stefan2 (talk) 17:27, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
