Speedy deletion nomination of Anthony tilghman


A tag has been placed on Anthony tilghman 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. GILO  A& E&uArr;  00:34, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
Please do not write an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Anthony Tilghman. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Wikipedia is not for writing about oneself
Copyright material cannot be accepted on the basis of assertion of permission; it is essential to make a formal copyright release as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. That is very seldom worth doing, because material written for other purposes usually has a promotional tone quite unsuitable for an enyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view.

I regret that we are not very good at explaining to new users what Wikipedia is not for. There are many sites like Myspace and LinkedIn which will be happy for you to write about yourself, but Wikipedia is different: it is a project to build an encyclopedia, it is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, and it is extremely resistant to being used in that way. Promotional material is deleted at sight, even from user pages.

Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Autobiography and Conflict of interest.

User pages are intended for the users, the volunteers who are here to build the encyclopedia, to say something about themselves in order to assist communication within the project. They are not for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia."

The links at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 13:53, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
