Speedy deletion nomination of Julia May Courtney

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 Julia May Courtney requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.andreageyer.info/revolttheysaid/c.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Salea248, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. All three articles you created or edited contained significant copyright violations. Please do not copy and paste content into Wikipedia in the future. Thank you. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:48, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alice Rohner

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 Alice Rohner requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 02:36, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

June 2017

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Alice Rohner into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:42, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Marian Tinker. Please do not copy and paste content from sources that are copyrighted into Wikipedia. Your contributions have to this time largely consisted in direct copy-paste violations. This is not allowed on Wikipedia, where we require things to be contributed in your own words. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:04, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Note: Do not copy and paste material from websites or anywhere else into any article unless you have verifiable permission to do so. These repeated copyright violations are going to get you blocked indefinitely if they do not cease. -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I have verifiable permission to use information from the sources I am citing. How I am I supposed to prove it to wikipedia? I'm doing this for a job and now I can't work for one week. Please help. -Ad Orientem (talk) Salea248 (talk) 18:45, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

I'm not Ad Orientem (he is much smarter than I am), but since I've been the one who has interacted with you the most and I deal with both copyright and paid editing a fair amount I can respond in some areas:

1. If you are a paid editor you need to read WP:COI and WP:PAID. You must declare that you are paid and who you are working for. Failure to do so can lead to an indefinite block.
2. You need to prove that you have the rights to this content and have the right to donate it under our licensing. For how to do this see the instructions here. Just telling us you work for the person who owns the content isn't enough. You need to demonstrate it is irrevocably licensed under a free license that is compatible with our terms of use. If you do not, the content will continue to be removed and deleted. To make it more clear to you and your boss, if the material is donated to Wikipedia, under the terms of our licensing, anyone in the world can use it for any reason at all, including commercial, simply by crediting it and allowing others to do the same. The owner of the content is free to do so, but this is something they should consider.

If you have any other questions, you can post them here and one of us should see them. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:50, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

+1 to what Tony just wrote (except the smarter than part). -Ad Orientem (talk) 18:53, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

July 2017

I will resume trying to create wikipedia pages. I will be using information from http://www.andreageyer.info/revolttheysaid/a.html All pages on this website are now licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. It says so on each page of the website with the information I will be using. This should fix any copyright issues. Thanks. Salea248 (talk) 02:46, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Salea, I'm going to ask Diannaa, an administrator who works frequently with copyright, to chime in here.Based on my understanding CC-BY-SA 4.0 is not backwards compatible with CC-BY-SA 3.0. Also, please also see my note above about paid editing and the need to declare (you can learn more at WP:PAID and place a template declaring on your user page). TonyBallioni (talk) 03:09, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Understood, I will add a statement about that on my page and in the edit descriptions. --Salea248 (talk) 03:14, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Tony is correct: According to the WMF legal team, CC BY-SA 4.0 is not backwards compatible with CC BY-SA 3.0. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 11:03, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, D. Salea, I've went ahead and tagged Ami Mali Hicks for speedy deletion since the license is not compatible. I'll go through the other content you may have re-added in a bit when I'm not on mobile and remove any material added that wasn't from a compatible license. TonyBallioni (talk) 11:48, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. Can I ask why CC BY-SA 4.0 will not work when Creative Commons claims that this is the current version? Salea248 (talk) 14:28, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

Sure, the link Diannaa provided explains it: the Wikimedia Foundation's legal team has formed the opinion that CC-BY-SA 4.0 is not backwards compatible with CC-BY-SA 3.0. Wikipedia text is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Because the Wikimedia Foundation owns the servers Wikipedia is run on, we must follow the advice of their legal team on this, which means text that is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0 is not allowed on Wikipedia. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:34, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

This issue is now fixed. Rather than 4.0 all web pages with relevant information to my edits are now licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0. Salea248 (talk) 17:55, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Amy Mali Hicks

Hello Salea248,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Amy Mali Hicks for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Copying licensed material requires proper attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Mary Logan Tucker and several other articles you included material from a webpage that is available under a CC-by-SA licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 10:44, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Writing for Wikipedia

Hallo, Please remember that even though you have permission to use the material from a source such as this, the text there may not be in the right shape for a Wikipedia article. In particular, a Wikipedia biographical article almost always starts with "Xxxx (dates) is/was a [nationality] [occupation] ...", showing us immediately for what activity this person was notable enough to be in the encyclopedia. Not who their family was, or where they trained: "Alma Siedhoff-Buscher (1899–1944) was trained in crafts at the Reimann School and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin." is not a good lead sentence for Alma Siedhoff-Buscher. The first, or "lead" sentence is very important as it is what people will see in search results or if they hover over a link, so it needs to get right to the topic. Please familiarise yourself with the Wikipedia style of writing, and create Wikipedia articles rather than just pasting in chunks of text which were written for a different purpose. I've tweaked this article - at least I hope that "was a German designer" is a correct summary, though I see that the German Wikipedia article uses "war eine deutsche Kunsthandwerkerin" which I translate as "was a German craftswoman". Over to you to decide. Thanks. PamD 16:44, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Free-content attribution

When you are adding CC BY-SA 3.0 text, please comply with Wikipedia:Adding open license text to Wikipedia#Attributing text and add an attribution to the references section like so:

{{Free-content attribution
| title = Revolt They Said
| author = Andrea Geyer
| documentURL = http://www.andreageyer.info/revolttheysaid/s.html
| license = CC BY-SA 3.0
}}

TheDragonFire (talk) 10:32, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

This conflicts with feedback I've gotten from other editors. I haven't had this problem with my attributions yet. I have added attributions through the format: "Revolt, They Said". www.andreageyer.info. Retrieved 2017-07-30.CC-BY-SA icon.svg Material was copied from this source, which is available under a Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license The icon is there and the links are made.

Is it necessary to have this on each page? :

{{Free-content attribution
| title = Revolt They Said
| author = Andrea Geyer
| documentURL = http://www.andreageyer.info/revolttheysaid/s.html
| license = CC BY-SA 3.0
}}

Salea248 (talk) 14:12, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, please remember to add this template, {{Free-content attribution}}, to all pages you copy creative commons text from, I've recently added it to Edith Louise Mary King. It is important to add this template, so please remember!  Seagull123  Φ  22:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I may be wrong, but I don't believe that the reference from which you are quoting is enough on its own to meet the requirements for Wikipedia:Verifiability. Any articles that do not demonstrate notability are liable to be tagged and, ultimately, deleted. Deb (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi again, per the earlier messages about this template, please also make sure that the link in the template is correct, at Anna Maria Augusta Cassel, the link provided is this one; however, this does not contain anything about Anna Maria Augusta Cassel, so attribution hasn't been provided properly, which is required by the terms of this licence - please do correct this. Thanks.  Seagull123  Φ  17:24, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

And another quick message, please do make sure you've read Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and the notability policy, which explains what can have an article on Wikipedia. Articles about people (even if not living) generally need more references than other types of articles, so just copying the text of a CC website generally isn't enough. Please do try and find more references for the articles you create, you can find help finding references at the reference desk. Otherwise, these articles may be eligible for deletion for not being notable enough. If you need more help you can , or just leave a message on my talk page.  Seagull123  Φ  17:39, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Understood. I've corrected the mistake with my link. Salea248 (talk) 04:00, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
