Speedy deletion nomination of Darwinian networks


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Darwinian networks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 * If the commented-out content was an attempt to work on the page before publishing it, Wikipedia has a much easier system for that - userspace drafts. I've created one for your content at User:Andre.eds/Darwinian networks and copied your content across. Just push the "Submit your draft for review" button when you're happy with it. Let me know if you have any questions! --McGeddon (talk) 17:48, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Andre.eds, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Darwinian networks has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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 a cited source. You can read about this at 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 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 Copyrights. You may also want to review 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 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 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 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. Thank you. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  beans  // 19:56, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Page moved
Just before the page was deleted, and not knowing that it was a copyright violation, I had "userfied" it - moved it to User:Andre.eds/Darwinian networks2 for you to work on, since it was evidently not ready for the main encyclopdia. The reason it was tagged for deletion as having no content is that you had enclosed it in comment tags so that nothing was visible.

Apart from the copyright issue, it seemed that the page was written in LaTeX. While Wikipedia can handle LaTeX to a limited extent (see Help:Displaying a formula) the main body of the article would be better written in Wiki markup (quick guide at Help:Cheat sheet, detail at Help:Wiki markup), or by using the WP:Visual editor, which is still in beta test.

Copypasting content
The current version of Darwinian network written by you at 06:07, 28 March 2015‎ appears to contain sentences copied verbatim from http://www.darwiniannetwork.net/papers. As explained above, please don't copy and paste copyrighted content from other websites. --McGeddon (talk)

Deletion discussion about Darwinian network
Hello, Andre.eds,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Darwinian network should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Darwinian network.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, DemocraticLuntz (talk) 00:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
