User talk:IRadicall

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!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Helga Fassbinder, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.biotope-city.net/author/helga-fassbinder.

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) 19:29, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Helga Fassbinder


A tag has been placed on Helga Fassbinder 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.biotope-city.net/author/helga-fassbinder. 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.

Helga Fassbinder
Welcome to WIkipedia. Don't worry about the copyright warnings above: I have declined the speedy deletion nomination, because I understand that copyright permission has been given. However, in its present form this is not suitable for Wikipedia and might be nominated for deletion, so I have "userfied" it - moved it into a sub-page in your "user space" where you can work on it.

It is now at User:IRadicall/Helga Fassbinder.

Wikipedia is not a noticeboard, and copying a subject's own website is not a satisfactory way to make an encyclopedia article, which should ideally be based on what others say about the subject, rather than just what she says about herself. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for some background.

The most important requirement is for independent references. Wikipedia's inclusion criterion is called Notability, and is not a matter of saying so but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people) and WP:Notability (summary). References are also important because of the Verifiability policy that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source."

There is good advice at WP:Your first article and at WP:WikiProject Biography, and Help:Referencing for beginners will also be useful.

One final point: if you are employed by or connected to Ms Fassbinder, you should read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In that case, you should not post the article directly but, when it is ready, click the green "Submit your draft for review" button at the head. That will send it to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will review it and either accept it or give you feedback. As you are new to Wikipedia, I recommend doing that in any case.

 * Hello, IRadical. I'm sorry to have add additional complexity, but on reviewing of the permission ticket it seems that permission was given to use this text under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0. This is not currently an acceptable license for text on Wikipedia because it is not backwards compatible and the rest of the text on our site is licensed under CC-By-SA 3.0. Because of this, the content has again had to be removed. If you should choose to work further on this draft, which I see had not been addressed in some time so may have been abandoned, please speak to Ms. Fassbinder about licensing requirements and using precisely the text in Consent, which will simplify matters completely.  --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:24, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
