Speedy deletion nomination of Warren Taylor - Noted American Artist


A tag has been placed on Warren Taylor - Noted American Artist requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

A personal note
Okay, I'm sorry if I've seemed a little impersonal to you so far. Please don't take it personally or anything; I don't have anything against you or the subject of the article. But you have to understand that copyright is a pretty serious thing around here; it's one of the few things that Wikipedia can actually get in trouble for. As I said on the talk page of the article, I appreciate that you have the permission on the copyright holder to post this text on Wikipedia, but permission alone just isn't enough. Everything on Wikipedia needs to be released under a free (as in free speech, not free as in free beer) license that's compatible with the terms of CC-BY-SA. (There are a few exceptions to this called fair use, but it's generally only for images and other media, not text, so it's not really applicable here.) The website this text is copied from indicates that it is copyrighted by the subject, and does not indicate that it's freely-licensed in a compatible manner. So, we can't use it in a Wikipedia article. Even apart from that, though, a lot of the article would be considered too promotional for use in Wikipedia. You might also want to take a look at our guidelines on conflicts of interest; in a nutshell, the kind of editing you're doing--that is, editing at the behest of the subject--is strongly discouraged, as it can easily lead to articles that violate our policy on maintaining a neutral point of view. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them; you can ask them either here or on my talk page. Thanks. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 16:07, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

User:Mediajaw/sandbox
Hi. I'm sorry, but I've had to delete your current User:Mediajaw/sandbox, as the contents were a copyright infringement. I understand you might personally have had approval by the copyright holder to use it, but unless it is properly released in accordance with Wikipedia's copyright policy, we cannot host copies of it on any Wikipedia pages, not even user pages. For help with donating copyright material, please see Donating copyrighted materials, but please be aware that any material released under such conditions will then be free for others to take and reused in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License under which Wikipedia operates. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:09, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mediajaw. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mediajaw~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:44, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
