Copyright material in the Draft namespace
Hello. Please note that the policy on copyright material (WP:COPYVIO) and the procedure for speedy deletion of copyright material (WP:G12) applies to the Draft namespace. Just as it does to content "published"/"promoted" to the main Article namespace. The text of Draft:Nuala Finnegan appears to have been largely copy/pasted from a copyrighted source. ("Copyright © UCC 2023"). As per the text which displayed at the top of the "edit" pane for that (and all) pages, "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted". Do not copy/paste content from copyrighted sources. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 11:00, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
If this was the first article that you 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.
The page Draft:Nuala Finnegan has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.ucc.ie/en/registrar/people/professornualafinnegan/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.
