Speedy deletion nomination of Air University Press (AUPress)


A tag has been placed on Air University Press (AUPress) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Crusio (talk) 05:02, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Attribution is required when copying from public domain sources
In order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, when adding public domain content to Wikipedia articles, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Plagiarism, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. I have removed the PD content from Strategic Studies Quarterly as being too much like an advertisement, not the sort of content we are looking for. Please also take the time to learn how to properly cite your sources. Please see Citing sources for details of how to do this. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:09, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
