This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of International Symposium on Bilingualism, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://cms.hum.uu.nl/isb7/history.php.

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.)

Hi! I have removed text which appeared to be a copy or close paraphrase of the copyright text at the publisher's website. Normally I would suggest that you add to the article, being sure to use your own words. However, if you are the editor of the journal or closely associated with it, you are strongly advised not to edit the article due to a perceived conflict of interest. A further piece of advice would be to suggest that you read the guidance suggested in the "Welcome" message above. If you have any questions about this message, just post below this one and I will reply.--CharlieDelta (talk) 08:14, 27 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Chinese language and discourse

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 Chinese language and discourse 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". 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 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.

Why the article was deleted

edit

You said:

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it is about a journal and the contents need to be exactly the same as the publisher's website.

If that is your goal (exactly the same), then this is not the place for you. See WP:MERCILESS, in particular, you agree that "your submission may be changed, modified, edited, moved, extended, deleted or combined..."

You said:

I am the editor of the journal.

This sounds like a pretty solid reason, but let me see if I can convince you it is not.

If the article stands, then Wikipedia owns the copyright to the words. Wikipedia could insist that you are not allowed to post the words on a site you create without giving proper attribution to Wikipedia. Perhaps not a big deal, but you might find it odd to have to add proper licensing to your site to cover words you have written.

Furthermore, anyone can edit the words, so you might decide to copy the latest version from Wikipedia, and find it doesn't match what you originally wrote. You have no standing to object.

Additionally, we allow anyone to register just about any user name. Anyone in the world could have registered the screen name you chose and anyone could claim to be you. Surely you would be unhappy if some other person, claiming to be you, said it was OK to copy your words.

There are ways for people to ensure they are who they say they are, but we have specific procedures for that, and they are more complicated than simply making the claim.

See Donating copyrighted materials

So, while it may seem odd to delete an article using a copyright rule when those words are almost certainly yours, it is being done for your protection. You can give up the rights to your words, but we want you to do so understanding the consequences.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:53, 19 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Applied Linguistics Review

edit
 

The article Applied Linguistics Review has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

New journal, not indexed in any major selective database, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NJournals

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
