User talk:Guy who reads a lot

AfD
Hi. As I said over on my Talk page, I can quickly nominate those articles for deletion discussion via WP:AfD using Twinkle if you'd like me to. Or if you fancy nominating just one in order to gain the experience, I can add the rest to the same nomination afterwards. Just let me know and I'll be happy to help -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)


 * OK. I marked two of them (Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory and Quietus (short story)) AFD, and I'm watching to see what the consensus is.  Guy who reads a lot (talk) 16:48, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, that sounds good - if the decision goes against them I'll be happy to help nominate the others -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:52, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
 * After six days there's been no discussion in the AFD at all on "Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory". I don't know what the procedure is when there is so little interest in the article that nobody even comments when it's proposed for deletion. There are two posts in the discussion on Quietus (short story), which seem to agree with the deletionGuy who reads a lot (talk) 05:04, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Guy who reads a lot, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Ender in Exile has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:11, 6 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I have no way to verify your statement, since the text was deleted in a way that does not allow me to see what it is you deleted. Guy who reads a lot (talk) 23:24, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
