User talk:GKadigan

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Glory Kadigan
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Glory Kadigan, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://glorykadigan.com/bioresume/.

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.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:36, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Glory Kadigan


A tag has been placed on Glory Kadigan 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://glorykadigan.com/bioresume/. 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. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  02:47, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Glory Kadigan. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. &#9790;Loriendrew&#9789;  &#9743;(talk)  02:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, GKadigan. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Planet Connections Theater Festivity, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jns4eva ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) (talk) 02:50, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Establishing copyright
I've deleted the page because ultimately we cannot establish whether or not you own the copyrights just because you posted on the article's talk page. You must file a ticket through WP:ORTS that establishes that you give Wikipedia permission to post the text. This isn't a fix-all, however, as the page still has other issues. The first is that the article would still require a fairly complete re-write in order to meet the basic style guidelines of Wikipedia and to make it easier to read. The second is that since it is essentially a reposting of your resume, it has the unintentional side effect of being somewhat promotional in tone. Wikipedia isn't a place to post a resume as-is (WP:NOTRESUME) and you'd still have to pretty much re-write it in order to meet guidelines on that basis as well. This is pretty much the same reason why I deleted the page on your theater festival- it was copyvio from the official website and also came across as promotional in tone.

Now the other issue is that while you do assert various things in the article, you also do not show where you have been covered in reliable sources (WP:RS) like newspapers and the like. It does appear that you are accomplished, but Wikipedia still requires coverage in reliable sources that are independent of yourself or any company that is affiliated with you. I did look at the sources on the page for the theater and I was concerned that these two Playbill posts were essentially re-published press releases (or at the very least barely re-worded press releases). Press releases are considered to be WP:PRIMARY sources regardless of where they are posted. Offhand I'm really not bringing up much as far as a basic Google search goes, so it may be entirely possible that while you have done a great many and impressive things and tasks, that you would still fail Wikipedia's overall notability guidelines for people. (WP:NBIO) Don't take this the wrong way- most people fail notability guidelines because the guidelines here are fairly strict. The same seems to go for your festival as well. I'd actually recommend that you not re-create the articles and that you instead work with someone at WikiProject Theatre to see if the theater festival meets notability guidelines. Both yourself and the festival exist (WP:ITEXISTS), but I don't really see where either have gained that much coverage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   06:39, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
