Speedy deletion nomination of John Henry Rouson


A tag has been placed on John Henry Rouson 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

I'm sorry I had to delete this article, but Wikipedia cannot allow the use of text which is copyright elsewhere. (Especially when it says "Copyright reserved" at the bottom...) Have a look at WP:COPYVIO - this explains the position and what to do about it. Basically there are three things you can do. One is to rewrite it. This means a proper rewrite, not just rearranging words a bit. Two is to go about halfway down the page at that link I've given, and follow the instructions for licensing the use of the text. This only applies if you own the copyright, or if the owner agrees to this him/herself. (Three is simply to walk away muttering....) If you do go for the first two, you must also add some references to back things up. If you look at WP:RS you will find out what sort of thing we are looking for. Any queries, please feel free to contact me or any regular editor. Remember we are volunteers and may be busy elsewhere, though. Peridon (talk) 20:21, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
