Deletion discussion about ‘Data Mining Genealogical Spreadsheets’
Hello, MikeMissile,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether ‘Data Mining Genealogical Spreadsheets’ should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/‘Data Mining Genealogical Spreadsheets’.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Speedy deletion nomination of User:MikeMissile/sandbox/North Walden Pond 44 acres


A tag has been placed on User:MikeMissile/sandbox/North Walden Pond 44 acres 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://georgejohnwheelerindiantreatywaldenpond.com/. 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.

 * https://georgejohnwheelerindiantreatywaldenpond.com/ IS MY COPY RIGHT PUBLICATION. GEORGE WHEELER SR. IS MY 9TH GREAT-GRANDFATHER. I AM ONE OF THE INHERITED OWNERS OF GEORGE WHEELER SR'S 1635 INDIAN TREATY NORTH WALDEN POND 44 ACRES 1ST TITLE DEED LAND PATENT. YOUR SPEEDY DELETION WAS WRONG AND YOUR NORTH WALDEN POND 44 ACRES HISTORY IS INCORRECT. MikeMissile (talk) 12:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please don't SHOUT! The page was not deleted, it's just where it always was. If you wrote that text then you can if you wish release it under a licence that would allow it to be used in Wikipedia – there are details here. But please be aware that without an independent reliable source for each and every claim made in it, it will not ever become an article here. You might like to read this – and, for that matter, also this. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
 * If the page was not deleted, please let me review it. MikeMissile (talk) 10:48, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Please do not publish my page 'North Walden Pond 44 acres' until I review and approve the page you currently have had now several days and not published. MikeMissile (talk) 11:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern
Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 14:43, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Please do not publish my page 'North Walden Pond 44 acres' until I approve Wikipedia to do so. Your Walden Pond information is incorrect. My page is correct, but your procedures are problematic. MikeMissile (talk) 11:23, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply] MikeMissile (talk) 11:40, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
