User talk:Chicago humcap

Hello
I was very happy to see the expansion to the A.D. Roy article with such incredibly high quality material and a huge amount of good references. I noticed however that the text has copyright problems so unfortunately we can not keep that section in its present form. You can read about Wikipedia's policy on copyrighted material here.

AfC notification: Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, It reads:

''' Such centers can be notable, and this is at the most famous university in the general field. It might make more sense to turn combine this and some related articles on other centers into an article, but I do not immediately see how to do it, as they aren;t in a particular department. Possible they would go into an article on Chicago's Social Sciences Division'''

'''But the immediate problem is that almost the entire article is copied from their about page http://cehd.uchicago.edu/page/about-cehd. This is never acceptable. Even if they were to give us permission for it according to WP:DCM, it still wouldn't be acceptable, because there is promotional wording throughout. (for example "innovative and topical research" or "promote rigorous empirical research to determine effective..." That's suitable writing--for their web site, but not an encyclopedia.'''

We do not let copyvios stay in WP, even temporarily, and I am going to have to delete the article.  DGG ( talk ) 05:11, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development


A tag has been placed on Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://cehd.uchicago.edu/page/about-cehd. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 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 see that the very large copyvio noted above on the Roy article has not been removed; I shall unfortunately have to do so. I cannot tell exactly the extent of the copyvio, so I shall need to revert to the version prior to your first edit.

You must choose another username. On that user page, link to this page, and vice-versa. And make the proper disclosure, both on your user page and on the talk page of anything you may be writing in which there is a paid conflict of interest.  DGG ( talk ) 05:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
