Geosciences Technology Workshop
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Geosciences Technology Workshop, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.aapg.org/gtw/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 19:42, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Geosciences Technology Workshop


A tag has been placed on Geosciences Technology Workshop 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.

 * Hi, I'm Qwyrxian, an admin here at Wikipedia, and I wanted to explain what I did with that article. While I did decline the speedy deletion of the article on copyright grounds due to the CC-BY-SA license on the relevant webpage, after looking into the matter in more detail, I redirected the workshop page to the AAPG page. This is because I don't see any evidence that the workshops are notable. That is, it is not enough for is to verify that the workshops exist. Rather, to have their own separate article, you would need evidence that the workshops meet the general notability guideline; this is usually done by showing that multiple, independent, reliable sources have discussed the workshops in detail. I couldn't find any evidence that this was the case, so the best solution seemed to be to add a brief mention of the Workshops to the AAPG page, and redirect the Workshop page there. However, if you can find those independent sources talking in detail about the Workshops, it's possible the page could be recreated. If you want to know how to do that, please leave a message here.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Aapgweb", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Harry the Dog WOOF  20:11, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
