Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Kovacik edit

 

A tag has been placed on Robert Kovacik 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. ttonyb (talk) 01:55, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

March 2010 edit

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Robert Kovacik. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. ttonyb (talk) 02:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Robert Kovacik edit

 

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

Non-notable "news" reporter lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} 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. ttonyb (talk) 19:30, 30 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Appreciations.... edit

It is unfortunate that your article was nominated for deletion only 8 minutes after[1] you offered it to Wikiedia. But such things do happen, so please do not be discourgaged. What might help in preventing such things happening in the future is if you first begin creating an new article in a user workspace, such as you might be created at User:Tgarrett24/workspace or User:Tgarrett24/sandbox. This will allow you time to expand and scource an article and get input from other editors... giving you the chance to make something shine before turning it loose in the main pages where it falls under almost immediate scrutiny. Also, you can tell by looking at the article's edit history that it has now been receiving some attention toward sourcing and improvement, toward the nomninator's concerns at the deletion discussion. What is needed now are even more reliable sources (see WP:RS) that verify (see WP:V) his many awards and nominations. I also offer that you might take a look at an Wikipedia essay I have been writing at "Newcomer's guide to guidelines". It may help you get a better start on future articles.

File permission problem with File:Kovacik robert.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Kovacik robert.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:21, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
