You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Oscar-Patterson/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Oscar-Patterson/sandbox 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://onxpress.com/ and https://onxpress.com/about-us/. 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.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Oscar-Patterson! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 11:11, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Oscar-Patterson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. ''This is regarding ONxpress. --'' DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:50, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

 * We also cannot accept or host copies of copyrighted works where a few words have been changed here and there; please see WP:CLOSEPARAPHRASE. If you would like to try writing this again in your own words you are free to do so, but note that Wikipedia is not an advocacy platform nor a business directory. We expect articles to be neutral information about notable topics, which is demonstrated through significant coverage in published sources which are independent of the subject (i.e. not written by the organization or copied from the organization's press releases).

 * Not cool. I was just about to go and edit and all my work is gone. Would like to know why so delete happy it says 6 months to edit and now its all gone. Oscar-Patterson (talk) 18:48, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * See all the notices above about the use of copyrighted content, especially the note from Ivanvector. -- Whpq (talk) 18:55, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Not talking about the notices above but the July 25th Notice. I had just gone in made edits and added citations, when I went to re-submit it was all gone. I thought I had 6 months no? Oscar-Patterson (talk) 19:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It was deleted as a copyright violation. See note below. -- Whpq (talk) 19:24, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
 * in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
 * reliable
 * secondary
 * strictly independent of the subject
 * Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 * No where does this mention copyright. Again not trying to be difficult just trying to figure this out. Oscar-Patterson (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was declined for those reasons, and when I looked at it, it was a copyright violation so it was deleted for that reason. -- Whpq (talk) 20:03, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I didn't knowingly commit copyright infringement, in what you flagged so as you can imagine am disappointed and upset as this has been a big learning curve for me. Writing about a company in my community that has been awarded a massive government contract that not a lot of people know about has been a challenge. There are only so many ways that you can write about something where it's very factually driven and is construction driven. I was trying to share the last draft that I had written so you could see it and also see the 10 references that I was hoping would be ok.
 * I will go back cut and paste the last draft that I was not allowed to resubmit. Would love for you to look at it and let me know what may need to be fixed.
 * Thanks for your time.
 * Regards,
 * OP Oscar-Patterson (talk) 20:19, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I will be very blunt here. If you paste in anything that resembles what you jut pasted on your talk page here, it will be a copyright violation and you will be blocked. -- Whpq (talk) 20:25, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Am not being paid for this at all. However, I am interested in what this company and the government are doing as if this is ever built. It would make my commute easier. Being new to the community this has been a very deep learning curve so any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oscar-Patterson (talk) 01:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
