Copyright violation in Amos Lee Parker

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Amos Lee Parker, by PRehse (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Amos Lee Parker is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Amos Lee Parker, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Amos Lee Parker

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Amos Lee Parker, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.aikidobc.com/parkersensei.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 04:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Amos Lee Parker

A tag has been placed on Amos Lee Parker 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 blatant 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.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Coren ^(talk) 05:24, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2007

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Amos Lee Parker. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. — Coren ^(talk) 05:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:AmosParker.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

hold on

Not sure how this all works. The information IS NOT copyrighted. The material is owned by me, Steven Miranda. I created the bio and many cites around the internet including aikidobc.com use it. The original can be found at www.seikeikan.com.

Ah. If you've published it somewhere (website or book...) it is copyright and can't be used here. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA for free use by anyone. Your text isn't licensed or public domain, and therefore isn't able to be used here. BTW it's not a good idea to reference things to sources you have written. Sources should be reliable and independent. Not one or t'other. Both. BTW2 If you write something here, you can use it on your site subject only to acknowledging that it is copied from Wikipedia. Doesn't work the other way round. This might sound silly, but it stops a lot of nasty legal action things going on (and keeps money out of lawyers' pockets as well...) 8-) Peridon (talk) 17:15, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Well that makes no sense at all. There are literally thousands of biographies of martial arts instructors posted by students that are also posted on other places. My objections in general is that this is being taken down because the information is also appearing on aikidobc.com who is using the information from my site and with my permission. If the article violates copyright then I expect to see all others out there taken down as well.

I would welcome any feedback as to how this can be corrected so that the wiki about Amos Parker can stay online.

If you know of any articles where the text is copied from somewhere else, please tag them. You can license the text for use here see WP:COPYVIO for more details), but if you do, you stand to lose the control over it that you have now. Please note that not all martial arts instructors are notable enough for articles, and be aware that the existence of one article doesn't mean that another article has a right to existence (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) as things slip through the net. BTW a 'wiki' is not a page here - it's a whole community effort. We use the term 'article'. You can find out more about copyright stuff from User:Moonriddengirl or User:VernoWhitney, two of our top copyright people. They'll probably look in here now that I've pinged them. Peridon (talk) 18:24, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

I don't see that there has been any claim of copyright issues in that article since it was deleted in 2007, but User:Peridon is quite right that if you want to license content that you've written elsewhere for use here you must follow certain steps. Please see WP:IOWN.

I have larger concerns at this juncture, though. It seems as though you may have a conflict of interest with Wikipedia's goals. We exist to provide neutral and balanced overviews of what reliable sources that are not connected to article subjects say about them. Primary sources should be used sparingly and for support material only. It seems that Parker was not only your teacher, but also a technical advisor to your school (according to http://www.seikeikan.com/instructors.html).

At this point, the article would be best served by the addition of references that are not primary - not based on your conversations with your teacher, hosted on your website or derived from the material you hosted on your website. Independent newspaper articles, for instance, or magazine profiles are reliable sources for our purpose and would help bring the article in line with Wikipedia's purposes. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:41, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Seems an awful lot of work for which I do not have time for. I don't have a conflict with the goals and appreciate the opportunity. Feel free to delete the article ifit does not meet the requirements Again, I simply don't have the time to try to figure this all out. This information is posted elsewhere so I'm not concerned about it not being a part if Wikipedia.

Again, thank you for the opportunity. Happy New Year to one and all.

Hangon

Please don't use that tag - it is only for objections on articles tagged for speedy deletion. When used on articles that haven't been tagged CSD, it puts them into the category for speedy deletion. You may have thought it was to stop people editing while you were - no, sorry, it isn't. There is something for that, the 'in use' tag but I can't tell you much there as I've never used it.
