Thanks for uploading File:Born to rise book cover.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

Possible COI Issue
Hello there,

I happened to stumble upon the Deborah Kenny article. It seems to me that you are very keen on removing any content that criticizes her, while at the same time, you are OK with content that says good things about her. You have also created (or attempted to create) articles related to her. This leads me to ask: are you in any way affiliated with her? If so, you have a conflict of interest. This doesn't necessarily mean you will no longer be able to edit the article on Deborah Kenny, but it means that additional measures will be taken to make sure your edits on articles related to her are neutral.

Thanks for your cooperation, Gold   Standard  06:57, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of James E. Ryan (lawyer)


A tag has been placed on James E. Ryan (lawyer) 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://learnlaunch.org/conference-2014/. 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 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 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 "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.

Copyright
I don't think you understand the position of Wikipedia on copyright. Wikipedia is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL for free use by anyone anywhere, including modification and commercial use. Text that is published without this licensing, unless it is clearly in the public domain by virtue of its age or provenance (certain government departments, in the main) or clear statement on the published page that it is so, is not compatible with Wikipedia's licence. Of the two sites I've seen the text in question on, one is the original and the other the permitted copy, or so I presume. Both are marked as copyright, which means that the text cannot be used here. The owner of a copyright publication can permit the use of the text by another publication - but that permission is not CC-BY-SA. The owner of the original may at their discretion license it under CC-BY-SA, but that licensing is irrevocable and while copyright is technically retained, there is no control over the use that the text may be put to - subject only to attribution of the original source when use is made. Is it worth it? Usually, no. A rewrite avoiding 'close paraphrasing' is the best course. Please don't forget the reliable independent sources WP:RS. You should have sources not connected to the university or the book publisher to establish notability. Peridon (talk) 16:41, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
