Observation.org moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Observation.org. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and currently has only primary sources.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Jeraxmoira (talk) 10:35, 25 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll add some more external sources and scientific publications. Please do take into account the existing external sources from GBIF. My intention was to start the article (was actually surprised that it didn't exist yet). You might also want to check out https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waarneming.nl, https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waarnemingen.be, https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observation_International.
 * Also, please be aware of the Conflict of Interest I declared on my user page. At the request of the authors of the de.wikipedia article, we made media available (see Wikimedia Commons, Observation.org).
 * Let me know if there are any other concerns. dyve 10:48, 25 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Please add them and submit your draft. Articles about organization (commercial or otherwise) should meet WP:NCORP. Other Wikipedia language articles do not help with the notability for EN Wiki. The nl wiki article does not have any sources but only external links which I believe is not enough. Follow WP:THREE, and show notability with 3 of your best sources. Also, It is not advised to write an article about your own company. See WP:COI and Paid-contribution disclosure. Jeraxmoira (talk) 11:05, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Thanks for taking the time to look at this. I have added references (websites and peer reviewed scientific publications), and the references to GBIF stating the position of Observation as the world's 3rd largest biodiversity open data publisher. I've also looked at similar articles for a good structure. I think it's better if I ask for some help from local Wikipedians to better adhere to guidelines. I'd also like to limit my involvement due to my CoI on this article, per Wikipedia guidelines. If there are any specifics in the article that feel wrong, please point them out.

 * Thanks Greenman and Jeraxmoira. It looks like I am too close to the subject, so as I said before, I'll limit my involvement in this process. I trust that relevance and notability will eventually be OK through GBIF, research papers and other secondary sources. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

Speedy deletion of European Union for Bird Ringing


The page European Union for Bird Ringing 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://euring.org/files/documents/brochure2007/EURING_brochure_english_2007.pdf. 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. — Diannaa (talk) 13:38, 20 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi there, thanks for your concern. Most of the factual information was taken from the EURING website. Apparently the wording was too close to what is there. This was not my intent. I will recreate the article more stub-like (initially), taking care not to use any wording from the EURING site. The EURING site is not mine, I am not a member. I know the organization because we have been involved in the same research and I have been to some of their meetings. Dyve (talk) 13:52, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * See Draft:European Union for Bird Ringing. Dyve (talk) 14:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * That version looks okay from a copyright point of view. — Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your feedback and time. Dyve (talk) 05:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
