Davy and Kristin McGuire
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Davy and Kristin McGuire, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.davyandkristinmcguire.com/Davy_and_Kristin_McGuire_1.html.

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) 14:29, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Davy and Kristin McGuire


A tag has been placed on Davy and Kristin McGuire requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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.

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I found only slight copyvio, and I think I rewrote the sections i found. However, if there is in fact any additional copied material, please rewrite it immediately, or the article will be deleted, and your work ad my work also will be wasted.

There is also some considerable promotionalism, which leads me to suspect the material was indeed copied from somewhere. Even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable.

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include biographical detail that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject --that sort of content is considered promotional. I already removed some of it, but an additional shortening is needed. The motivations of the subjects, unless they are both noteworthy and documented should not be included--stick to the facts of their career.

Remove internal links that add nothing to the subject, and do not disguise external links to websites as if they were internal links that showed the organization notable. I took care of most of this, but it needs another check.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. And keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive. If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity.

I advise you to fix the remaining problems, and do this immediately, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process. My experience is that the more modest the article, the more likely it is to survive. Good luck with it.  DGG ( talk ) 16:20, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
