Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Stephen G. Waxman


A tag has been placed on Draft:Stephen G. Waxman 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://world.yale.edu/faculty/stephen_waxman. 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.

 * Hello BetsyRS -- thanks for your edits to the Stephen Waxman article. I hadn't realised that there was a second draft on the subject, but it should probably now be deleted unless you need it? The reason for some of the odd wording I introduced is that reliable independent references are needed for all claims in biographical articles. In particular, one can't state that someone discovered something or showed something unless a reliable source that is independent of the research group states this explicitly. The source needs to be appended as an inline reference immediately adjacent to the claim. This can be difficult to find for scientists who are still active!


 * I note you added a photograph that you took to the article, which makes me wonder if you are connected to Dr Waxman or his laboratory? If so you need to read the conflict of interest guidelines and follow the instructions there about how to declare your connection. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:45, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
