Speedy deletion nomination of User:Johnanthonyduignan/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Johnanthonyduignan/sandbox 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 https://vbreton2062.wordpress.com/2015/05/15/5635/. 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. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:06, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Re: editing here
Hi, I'm re-posting this here, in case your sandbox is deleted. Thanks.


 * There appear to be several problems here. One is blatant copyright infringement--large tracts of copied content may not be posted anywhere on Wikipedia, even in user's sandbox pages for temporary reference. Also, this isn't the place to post writings that are based upon advocacy, per WP:SOAPBOX. Please read WP:NEUTRAL, WP:NOTABILITY and WP:COI, among other guidelines. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:21, 4 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Johnanthonyduignan, I think it's worth elaborating. Did you read what I counseled above? I strongly suggest you do. This is not the place to post COI advocacy pieces, and editors who persist in doing so usually have short careers here. My suggestion is that you establish the subject's notability by encyclopedic standards. If this can be done, you next need to show multiple WP:RELIABLE sources that will support notability and confirm all content you add to Wikipedia. A blog post by one author, whom you appear to be working with, will not have traction. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 19:46, 4 July 2018 (UTC)
