Speedy deletion nomination of Supply chain engineering


A tag has been placed on Supply chain engineering 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 Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see 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 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.

Citing sources for Supply chain engineering
Although your article Supply chain engineering has not been speedily deleted, it has been tagged as having no references / citations. I noticed that in your very first edit summary (the original 9,958 bytes which came in) you've said "The page refers to a brief on Supply chain engineering its methodology and definitions".

This would obviously be the best place to get your inline citations from - perhaps you could do this as a matter of urgency, as it's important that Wikipedia articles conform to our verifiability policy and contain no original research. As the nutshell on the verfiability page says, "People have to be able to check that you didn't just make things up." Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 03:31, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Using other sources
Hello, Akhilsukhija, and welcome. Thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia.

I believe I have figured out the history of this article, as it seems that you translated it from the German Wikipedia. This is a perfectly fine thing to do, but there are certain steps that we have to take to comply with license.

Basically, you cannot ever copy or directly translate content to Wikipedia without following certain steps, based on the copyright status of the original.
 * If you can prove that the content is public domain, you can copy/translate as much of it as you like, but you have to acknowledge what you are doing to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism contains some instructions for that. Being published on the internet does not make content public domain; most of the material we find on the internet is copyrighted.
 * If the content is not public domain but is compatibly licensed, you can copy/translate as much of it as you like, but you have to comply with the terms of the license to avoid copyright infringement and you have to acknowledge what you are doing to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism contains suggested for both of those, and when you are copying from another Wikipedia project, you can find the steps in Copying within Wikipedia. Wikipedia projects are not public domain. I've given credit as required at Supply chain engineering. You can see the little box I placed on the talk page and the note I put in the edit summary. These are the steps you should take here for translating from other Wikipedias.
 * If the content is neither public domain nor compatibly licensed, you can only copy or translate a small amount, and you must mark this as a direct quotation. You can read about this at Copy-paste, which includes links to the main policies.
 * Otherwise, you must put all information you find in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. You are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research, which is forbidden here.

If you have any questions about these procedures, please feel free to drop my talk page or to visit Help desk. They're important procedures to follow for many reasons, and I'm sure people will be happy to assist you as you learn the ropes.

Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:28, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
