Speedy deletion nomination of Dennis bolen


A tag has been placed on Dennis bolen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. red dog six (talk) 00:11, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

move
Hi. I moved your user page to User:GrumpycatDOTorg/sandbox; it is not really appropriate for a user page. I understand this is an article you're working on--well, such articles can't be copyright violations, so that will need to be taken care of: I will have to look at it and maybe zap it too. I zapped Dennis bolen because it was way too promotional (given all the Amazon links etc.) Then there is the matter of your user name: if it turns out that your edits are deemed to promote a website of that name, you may be asked to change it. Let me or anyone else know if you have any questions. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:59, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It was a copy of http://dennisbolen.com/bio.html, and I have had to delete it as a copyvio. Drmies (talk) 03:02, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

thank you
I'll have to read up on the norms for a wiki page and rewrite the dennis bolen page. Thank you for removing what I did so I can start up again. Also you mentioned my user name grumpycatDOTorg ... I did not intend it to be promotional it was just the first user name I could think of when I registered. If you need to remove it, fine, I'll pick a better one next time. I imagine that I will get a note if you do remove it. Thanks again suzanne d'Aoust
 * Sure. It will depend on what you do. Your username triggered a filter, since we get a lot of users who come here to promote a website or a company and take the same name that they're promoting as username. If you need to include the name for the website somewhere, make sure it is done in a neutral fashion. As for articles: see WP:FIRST and look for a couple of writers you know and what their articles look like. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 05:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I strongly suggest you change it ... URLs of active sites as usernames are strongly considered promotional. Daniel Case (talk) 05:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:41, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
