Speedy deletion nomination of United States Army University Press


A tag has been placed on United States Army University Press, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.armyupress.army.mil/About/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Jimcrandell, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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 the 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 legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also 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. Victor Schmidt (talk) 17:26, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Paid editing disclosure
Hi! It seems fairly likely that you have some financial relationship to the United States Army University Press. Please note that an editor who contributes here as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. If you are receiving, or expect to receive, monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (as an employee or contractor; as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public-relations purposes; as owner, officer or other stakeholder; or by having some other form of close financial relationship with a topic you wish to write about), then you must disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. 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 say so, here on this page. Otherwise, please make the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you have answered this message. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:11, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Where do I need to put this?

Is this all I need to do to make the United_States_Army_University_Press page work?
 * Hi again! It belongs on your user page, User:Jimcrandell, where you've put it. It's also advisable (but not obligatory) to add it to the talk-page of any article that you're paid to edit. That is all you need to do to comply with our WP:Terms of Use. You also need to comply with our rules and guidance on WP:paid editing and other matters. In a nutshell:
 * you should make no edit in article space, but may edit the talk-page of an article, and may edit in draft space (the article name begins "Draft:"); you are, for example, free to create and edit Draft:United States Army University Press provided that you disclose your connection when you do so, but are very strongly discouraged from creating or editing United States Army University Press (or any version of that page with a different title).
 * you will need to show that anything you write about is notable, by identifying a good number of independent reliable sources which discuss it in detail. The website of the press, for example, is not independent, and is not in any way useful for demonstrating notability. It's possible that the content of those pages is in the Public Domain as work published by the US Government (despite the copyright warnings higher up this page), but copying it wholesale into Wikipedia is not helpful. Any content copied from such a source must be properly attributed (I can help with that).
 * This probably seems complex. You've already had a Teahouse invitation – that's the best place to ask questions. Or you can ask here – I should see if you do. Good luck! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:55, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

(talk) thank you for your feedback and help. I think I see my fatal error I accidently tried to make the United States Army University Press live but I am still editing it and should have made a draft. I did not understand that. I am not really a contributor I am just the guy making the page for AUP, I didn't even read what I uploaded. So are you saying I should ONLY work on and edit the DRAFT page???

Help me!
Please help me with...

Justlettersandnumbers thank you for your feedback and help.

Jimcrandell (talk) 15:38, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Also where are the digits for the page you deleted? Are the gone for good, do I need to start from scratch?
 * Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying: you are very strongly discouraged from editing any page in article space where you have a conflict of interest, but – provided you make the necessary disclosure – may edit in draft space. Everything you write here should be entirely in your own words; you most definitely should not be uploading content provided by someone else. The page has twice been deleted as unambiguous promotion, and surely will be again if you submit the same sort of stuff; if you like I can restore the skeleton of the page, without any running text – let me know if you want that. What you need to do first is to identify a half-dozen or so solid independent reliable sources which discuss the press in detail and in depth – articles in national newspapers, chapters in books not associated with it, articles in learned journals are ideal. Once you have those you'll know whether the thing is sufficiently notable to have a page here. Our notability requirements for companies and organisations have recently been revised and are now quite stringent. As a start, why don't you list your sources here, and I'll tell you if I think the topic is likely to be considered for inclusion in the project? There's not much point doing anything else until that has been established. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:27, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Justlettersandnumbers So are you saying this first part is not acceptable even though each paragraph has a url source? I know I didn't link it properly but I thought I was working on a draft version.

In 2015, US Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) established The Army University at Fort Leavenworth, modeled after several successful U.S. state university systems that have fostered greater instructional efficiency and research capability by incorporating state administered teaching institutions under a single centralized system of management and resourcing. Similarly, Army University now is charged with directly integrating 70 separate U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) internal school programs under one university system while also synchronizing instruction with more than 100 additional TRADOC institutions. https://usacac.army.mil/node/969

This restructuring to a university structure included the creation of the Army Press, later renamed Army University Press. https://www.army.mil/article/158613/army_press_opens_on_fort_leavenworth

Army University Press is a member of the Association of American University Presses (AAUP) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_University_Presses

Some (more) advice
Hi! I've just deleted the two pages above, for the reason given. This is not an advertising platform, and advertisements from the US Army are no more acceptable or welcome here than advertisements for soap powder or snake oil. If you post promotional nonsense such as "Through its suite of publication platforms and educational services, the AUP produces makes timely and relevant information and multi-media products that enhance AU’s educational curricula" in Wikipedia, you can confidently expect it to be removed – probably quite rapidly. If you keep on doing it, you risk losing your editing privileges. I'm a little disappointed that you've (apparently) paid no attention to my advice above – perhaps I wasn't clear? Anyway, here are a few bullet-points: If you have questions, post them here and I'll try to answer. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:07, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
 * don't post content on behalf of anyone else (we don't allow that)
 * edit only in draft space (the page title starts "Draft:")
 * declare your conflict of interest on the talk-page (the page title starts "Draft talk:")
 * assemble your independent reliable sources before you start writing; if you can't find any, you are anyway wasting your time.

You are wrong it is not advertising or SPAM! We are trying to chronical what the Army University Press is doing for military writers and what the Military Review has been doing since 1922 (and we employ real editors not wannabes). Because you can't comprehend, that is not our problem and I am recommending we no longer pursue linking our esteemed organization with such a biased, ill-informed and non-credible source. And that name really, is that supposed to be cute…LMAO
