Speedy deletion nomination of High volume photography


A tag has been placed on High volume photography requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 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.  Ignatz mice•talk 21:03, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Re: message at talk page (I expect the talk page will be deleted shortly, along with the article): If you want to include material you wrote on Wikipedia, read Donating copyrighted materials carefully and follow the instructions there. But the article is not very encyclopedic in tone right now, and it actually seems rather promotional. So I recommend that you be very careful in re-creating it.

Very sorry, but no...
Your text had been published (in this case put on a website that the public could read). It is copyright to you. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is copyright (every bit of it) to thousands of people who have licensed their contributions under CC-BY-SA 3.0. (Every time you click 'save' here, you do that). This means that anyone anywhere can reuse stuff from here, for any purpose (including commercial use - there are people who offer for sale books of Wikipedia pages). Your text isn't licensed this way, and cannot be brought in here. I wouldn't advise licensing your text, as it would just get deleted again. Sorry, but it appears to be promoting a franchise operation, or something similar. Wikipedia is not for promotion or advertising. Peridon (talk) 21:37, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the information, I wasn't aware of the rules. I'm totally fine with deleting it. Is that something I need to do or do you guys do it? FYI, its not promoting anything, its a topic people are interested in. However, when I add something I will make sure that it isn't something I have used elsewhere and that it is more of an encyclopedic tone. I appreciate your understanding and please let me know if I need to do anything else.
