Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:National Institute of Undersea Vehicle Technology


A tag has been placed on Draft:National Institute of Undersea Vehicle Technology requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://niuvt.us/research-capabilities. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. dudhhr talk contribs (he/they) 15:48, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

October 2022
Hello Jackhansonjr. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to National Institute of Undersea Vehicle Technology, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jackhansonjr. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Whpq (talk) 17:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Copyrighted text
At Draft talk:National Institute of Undersea Vehicle Technology, you wrote I work for the NIUVT program and started generating a Wikipedia page for them. I'd like to prove that I have the right/permission to use the content they provide maintain this page for them. Content added to Wikipedia must be under a WP:free license. The institute's web site is copyrighted. If the institute is releasing that text under a free license, then the institute needs to provide permission. See Donating copyrighted materials. Having said that, Wikipedia is not a mirror site for organisation web sites and the text as copied straight from the web site would not be acceptable as an encyclopedia article even if the text is under a free license. -- Whpq (talk) 17:26, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
