User talk:Bka247

Welcome!
Hello, Bka247, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as SIMPLAN, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion of SIMPLAN


The page SIMPLAN has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.bhargavadhvaryu.net/simplan. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Deletion Review.

No, you should not recruit someone else to create the page. In that case they would still have a conflict of interest that needs to be disclosed. Thanks, DanCherek (talk) 12:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear Sir,
 * Yesterday, I created a page on SIMPLAN model, which is my own original work. It was deleted. Would it be possible to know the reason please? There as a mention on copyright infringement from www.bhargavadhvaryu.net, which is also my personal website. I am an academic and a researcher working in the domain of urban planning and modelling.
 * Regards,
 * Look forward to hearing from you.

 * Hi Bhargav. (You don't need to call me "sir", please.) Yes, the article deleted as a copyright violation, and there are a few different issues here. Since you are attempting to write about your own work, that is a conflict of interest and you'll need to provide the proper disclosure in accordance with WP:COI. Be sure to read the guidelines on conflicts of interest.Previously published content may be released by the copyright owner into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license by following the instructions at Donating copyrighted materials. I will point out, however, that Wikipedia is primarily interested in what reliable sources have to say about a particular subject, not what it says about itself, and articles should be based on reliable, independent, secondary sources. It's not okay for you to just republish your website on Wikipedia. Once you have reviewed the conflict of interest guidelines, I recommend starting with a draft rather than creating directly in mainspace, and submitting through WP:AFC.

 * Thanks, Dan!
 * I was inspired to create this page after seeing a Wikipedia page on a similar model (TRANUS). Despite issues, the page exists.
 * The sources are reliable (ie, peer-reviewed journals publications) and the pictures are created by me (except for one, where it has been mentioned). The page is not re-publication of my website; the latter has vastly different content.
 * In essence, if somebody else created this page, would that be fine?
 * Would it be possible to get the contents of the page I created (a private link even for a few hours) as that was the only modified copy I had! I'll copy-paste it somewhere.
 * Regards,
 * Bhargav Bka247 (talk) 13:25, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * The article had five sources, all authored by you. That means that it had zero independent sources, and except for an introductory sentence, all of the text is from https://www.bhargavadhvaryu.net/simplan. Here is that introductory sentence: "This page is about a simplified land use - transport interaction (LUTI) model called SIMPLAN (SIMplifed PLANning) that was develop to enhance the decision-making in urban planning in developing countries, using Ahmedabad as a case study."
 * I am unable to clearly understand the issue - the principle is the same as followed on the TRANUS page.
 * Anyways, I suppose a way forward is to create a page on land use - transport interaction modelling and gradually build up the various models developed over the years. Bka247 (talk) 05:00, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
