Speedy deletion nomination of Rotem Sivan


A tag has been placed on Rotem Sivan 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.bluenote.net/newyork/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=13038. 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
Hi, I saw your note on the article about being the original author of that text. I'm replying here because the article is likely to be deleted for copyright concerns (among others) anyway, at least for now. Because of the license Wikipedia publishes under, we need some more things done to confirm ownership before before we can accept this text. Since Wikipedia releases its content under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), we must ensure that source material is similarly licensed.

So in order to use this text on Wikipedia, you will need to privately contact Wikipedia to confirm that you are the original author, and that you have not assigned copyright to any of the internet sources that are showing this text. For instructions on how to do that, see This Link. That will entail some emailing to prove the owner of that text is in fact authorizing its release, with the understanding of what that entails.

In the meantime, as I said, the article will probably have to be removed, but can easily be re-inserted once permission is received. Alternately, you can rewrite in your own words (well... in your own different words!), though there were also other concerns expressed on the page. See WP:N and WP:GNG for the concerns they brought up and how to avoid having them re-tagged.

Thanks for your contributions, Crow  Caw  23:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
