Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:C. Mauli Agrawal, Ph.D.


A tag has been placed on Draft:C. Mauli Agrawal, Ph.D. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement.

This page appears to be a direct copy from
 * https://www.umkc.edu/chancellor/chancellor-bio.cfm
 * ("All rights reserved")
 * https://www.umsystem.edu/ums/hr/tmr/chancellor_search_university_of_missouri_kansas_city
 * ("None of this content may be copied, altered or distributed without the express written permission of the Curators of the University of Missouri").

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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 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 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.

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 "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 deleted 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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:16, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

I was editing a draft and now it's gone. Where is the draft I've been working on?

Hi, I'm afraid there were copyright issues with your draft. In its place, I have created a short stub article at C. Mauli Agrawal. As Dr Agrawal is in a named position at a notable academic institution, he meets our notability guidelines for academics, so there shouldn't be any issues with this stub.

Thank you for your help and guidance. Now that I've read what you created, I think I have a better understanding of what I can post and how to cite references. BKoan (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

COI warning
Hello, BKoan. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 22:20, 20 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Over the past two months, someone has been changing information on the University of Missouri-Kansas City Wikipedia page with erroneous information citing opinion pieces, not documents of fact. I have been correcting these items.BKoan (talk) 22:55, 21 January 2020 (UTC) BKoan


 * Stop editing your employer's article; you have an obvious and unavoidable conflict of interest. ElKevbo (talk) 23:28, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
