Speedy deletion nomination of Rayburn Wright


A tag has been placed on Rayburn Wright 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 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. Pam D  13:49, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hallo: the above is the automatic notification from the page deletion process. I'm sorry that your first article has to be deleted, but Wikipedia cannot include copyright material (and the bottom of the source page does say, clearly, "© 1999-2012 University of Rochester"). By all means create a new article about Mr Wright - you've got a source of information there, but you need to rewrite it in your own words. Not just because it's illegal to use other people's copyright material, but because you need to write for an encyclopedia: if you look carefully at the chunk of text you copied, it doesn't really work as an encyclopedia article. It tells us he is/was "professor of jazz studies and contemporary media and co-chair of the conducting and ensembles department", but doesn't tell us what institution, even in what country, he was professor. Of course, on the Eastman School of Music website it doesn't need to!


 * There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia, but it's an interesting journey and I hope you'll stay with us and contribute usefully to the encyclopedia. Happy Editing! Pam  D  13:56, 14 September 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, your version has now been deleted. I've started a new version of the article, with a couple of sources as well as the Eastman one. There's plenty of material there to expand the article - over to you. Pam  D  14:17, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
