 * Hello Baishan17 -- I've moved this to draftspace so that you can continue to develop it to show the subject's notability. You can edit it at Draft:John McLellan (composer). What is needed is reliable sourcing from books, newspaper/magazine articles and similar. Blogs and fan-type self-published websites do not usually count. If you need help, you can ask questions at the Teahouse, a friendly forum for new editors. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 14:28, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John McLellan (composer)


A tag has been placed on John McLellan (composer) 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://pipingpress.com/2016/11/23/famous-pipers-master-composer-pm-john-mclellan-dunoon/. 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.

Quoting versus copying
Your draft Speedy deleted twice for copyright infringement. Referenced sources can be used to get information, but the content needs to be significantly reworded in your own words. "Permission" does not count. Very limited amounts of content can be quoted, basically what a person said, but not informational content from a website. David notMD (talk) 17:35, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
 * David is quite right. My somewhat more blunt reply to your question at the Teahouse is that you have repeatedly broken copyright laws by stealing text content from copyright sources and releasing them here on Wikipedia, which you have absolutely no legal right so to do. You may think you havem but he website says it's copyright. So even if you were the one who wrote it and put it there, you may still not copy it onto Wikipedia whilst that licence remains in force. Very annoyingly, you have repeated this infringement and that, too, was speedily deleted. Copyright theft is one of the most serious abuses you can make on Wikipedia, and you will have your editing rights permanently withdrawn if you do that again!
 * You need to understand, not only how to properly edit and lay out a page (your deleted version was probably the worst I've ever seen here), but you also need to read WP:COPYVIO and WP:PARAPHRASE to understand that you MUST put content on Wikipedia in your own words and never, ever closely copy other articles. If you are insistent on trying to create an article about this man, please do yourself a favour by learning the basics of editing first. Read and work through Help:Introduction, then learn the simple task of using the 'Cite' button in the editing tool at add proper inline citations. Follow this shortcut to learn how to do that: WP:REFBEGIN, or read the guide I wrote on the same subject at WP:ERB. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 17:59, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
