Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyman Chapman


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Lyman Chapman 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.interisle.net/sub/lyman_chapin.html. 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 05:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Notification: The photo you added to NK Jemisin is being discussed at BLPN


I have asked the Wikipedia community for guidance concerning your recent edit to N. K. Jemisin. In my opinion, your edit was abusive. The discussion has been proposed here. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:57, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Blanking historical information
Please don't blank history sections like you did here and here. Historical context can still be useful, but your deletions are removing content just because it talks about historical information. In the case of LinkNYC, you removed about two-thirds of the article, which is completely unconstructive and has been reverted; since that page was also a Good Article, you should have discussed your objections to the existing context. Thanks. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:47, 12 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Reasonable comment. There's a lot now happening that should be included. Daveburstein (talk) 06:56, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
