Speedy deletion nomination of Building River Dialogue and Governance (BRIDGE) Project


A tag has been placed on Building River Dialogue and Governance (BRIDGE) Project 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Shirt58 (talk) 10:22, 16 July 2012 (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 yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. 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. JohnCD (talk) 22:18, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Your username IUCN.WANI evidently represents the Water and Nature Initiative of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Wikipedia does not allow accounts whose usernames appear to represent groups or organizations.

Before registering a new account that will represent only you as an individual, please understand that Wikipedia is not a "notice-board" site like Myspace or Facebook for people and organizations to write about themselves. It is a project to build an encyclopedia, it is not for promotion of any kind, and in order to maintain the neutral point of view which is a fundamental policy, users are strongly discouraged from writing on subjects where their close connection gives them a Conflict of interest. See also Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause and the WP:FAQ/Organizations.

Your first submission was deleted as a copyright violation, but even if IUCN made a formal copyright release, material copied from your website is likely to have a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, and would not on its own provide the references to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" required to establish Notability.
