Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology ( NM-AIST)
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology ( NM-AIST), may be copied from http://www.nm-aist.ac.tz/background.html. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 11:31, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology ( NM-AIST)


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology ( NM-AIST) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nm-aist.ac.tz/background.html http://www.nm-aist.ac.tz/CONCEPT%20PAPER%20ON%20NM-AIST-ARUSHA.pdf http://www.nm-aist.ac.tz/about_us.html. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. MER-C 11:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
