David Arch
Thank you for your contributions to the David Arch article. I must draw your attention to Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest as it seems, judging by some of your edit summaries, that you have a close connection to the subject of this article. I also must ask you to consider the policy on biographies of loving persons, especially the requirement that content be adequately referenced to a reliable source, and also the policy on copying text from other sources, as much of what you have added appears to be directly copied from the website http://www.dave-arch.com/. It is likely that much of the content you have supplied will have to be removed if these policy issues cannot be resolved. Please get in touch on my talk page if I can help.

 * Thank you for your swift reply. I now realise that it wasn't you who added the text copied from dave-arch.com, I should have been more careful to check properly, please accept my apologies for that. Please feel free to carry on editing the article bearing in mind the policies I mentioned above. However, it is likely that the text copied from the website will be removed, along with anything else that is not supported by a reliable source. Poltair (talk) 23:04, 12 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Martin Speake


A tag has been placed on Martin Speake requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.gsmd.ac.uk/music/staff/teaching_staff/department/12-department-of-jazz-studies/574-martin-speake/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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.

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 deleted 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.
