User talk:Grace Grundhauser

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!

Speedy deletion nomination of Norma I. Quintana


A tag has been placed on Norma I. Quintana 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.normaiquintana.com/bio/. 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. red dogsix (talk) 02:20, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Copyright
I did not see anything on Quintana's website that stated that her content was fair use. Unless the website has a disclaimer at the bottom that says that the content is fair use Wikipedia has to assume that the content is copyrighted material. Saying that it's fair use on the talk page is not enough. If you are someone representing Quintana then you can file a ticket through WP:ORTS that gives Wikipedia permission, but I do have to give you this warning:

The problem with taking text from other locations is that in most circumstances the material in question was written to promote the subject, in this instance Quintana. It's extremely likely that the text will be considered by many to be too promotional to put on Wikipedia. Looking at the page I do have to say that the article was written to read like a CV or a professional profile on WP:LINKEDIN, so it does come across as promotional. For example, this sentence is full of WP:PUFFERY: "As a first generation member of a Puerto Rican family Quintana credits her family visits to Puerto Rico with her inspiration for an ongoing photography project, Forget Me Not."

However even if it wasn't it would still be a good idea to re-write the content. This is because in my own personal experience I've found that pages containing copyrighted text are almost always very large targets. I edited one page where the text was pretty neutral in tone, however people kept tagging the page as promotional. It was actually easier to just re-write the page in my own words than it was to keep the copyrighted text on the page. I'd actually recommend that you just re-write the content and I'd also recommend that you not hotlink as much in the article. I counted 11 hotlinks within the article, which were far too many. This can come across as unambiguous promotion/spam, so please don't do this. You can put a few links in the external links section or a hotlink here or there, but you should not be putting this many in the article.

I also have to ask- were you hired by Quintana to write this article? (Your Linkedin account suggests that you were.) If so, then you need to look at the conflict of interest guidelines at WP:COI and declare this openly on your user page. I'd also recommend that you read the basic guidelines as well since paid editors will undergo a lot of scrutiny. You can still edit, but you will need to know guidelines very thoroughly.

Sorry to see how your editing career started
I see that your editing career did not start off well. I'll make this brief as you haven't edited since June and may not be watching the space. I see that you started work on an article but it was deleted for copyright violations. I also note that permission for the text was provided but unfortunately the request has languished for longer than it should.

If you would like to try again I can resurrect the article, and post the permission tag so that it will not be removed for copyright reasons.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  16:25, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
