The page you think I copied is not where that text came from. It is very likely that that person got it from me, or one of my colleagues. Furthermore, if you would let me edit is maybe I can fix it to meet your standards but I am operating in the dark. I can't even seem to figure out how to delete it. One thing I could do is revert that text to Ingersoll's 1925 book's text that is open and publicly available to anyone free and clear from the Library of Congress. Just so I can upload an image to try to fix another (different) page I had to create yet another account but apparently you guys didn't like that one either. I can no longer log in. I have tried to reset the password; I get an automatic message that a password reset message is being mailed to me. But I never get it. This is all pretty opaque.

The page you refer to has no copyright. It has been copied form somewhere else. This is not an original work: http://www.keithkylehomes.com/AreaInfo/Playa-Del-Rey-Real-Estate.htm But I don't care right now. WHat I NEED to do is to get into a mode where I can start fixing the Wiki on Playa del Rey, especially its main image. I need to be able to upload a new image but I seem to be roadblocked right now.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Beach of The King


A tag has been placed on User:Beach of The King 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.keithkylehomes.com/AreaInfo/Playa-Del-Rey-Real-Estate.htm. 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.

I looked again at that website - the text is clearly not owned by the people who run that website. I do not see any way to write about Playa del Rey without writing almost the exact same text. It is difficult for me to believe that you would want someone to try to synthesize a body of text with the same meaning.Beach of The King (talk) 01:39, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
