Hello, I'm SkyWarrior. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ethan Bortnick have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Celebration Of Music


A tag has been placed on Draft:Celebration Of Music 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://www.facebook.com/events/2010938949186290/. 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.

Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * the article was a copyright violation. Copyrighted text and images are not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied sites allow free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. The text must be written in your own words, the images can't be used unless they are marked on your website as PD
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Most of your text was unreferenced
 * There are no real facts to show why the topic meets the linked notability criteria
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, but yours is just a promo
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for the organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, 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:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations. In any case, there was little factual content in your draft, so better to start from scratch.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  19:20, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 * We own all of the information on the page &mdash; but it's not your page, it's our page about your company, see Ownership of content, and you, or any other would-be contributor, has to conform to our rules.
 * But this is our company. I am also being told I can't upload our own pictures&mdash; the problem with your images is that they are not currently licensed as in free for anyone to use, modify and distribute for any purpose, including commercial, as we require here. You could donate images, but you would have to mark them on your website explicitly as public domain or as having a CC BY-SA 3.0 Licence. Although it's not entirely unknown, companies are often reluctant to abandon their rights to their own images.
 * If possible can you undelete the page &mdash; as I said above, we do not restore copyrighted text. in any case, there are few real facts there, just a promo and an interminable list of non-notable contestants. There are no verified viewing figures or financials, and you need proper sources such as the Washington Post rather than affiliated websites.
 * ''I will change the wording if that is the concern. KacieJ, I'll remind you that before you write anything on this topic again, you must make the required COI disclosure using the "paid " template above, or you are likely to be blocked
 * I can't really do any more than urge you to read everything I've written above before you attempt to write an article. We are not social media or free advertising, and if you don't comply with our rules your postings will be deleted again.
