Emily Dickinson Picture
Paul,

Looks like someone reverted your delete of the Emily Dickinson picture. To get the picture removed from the history, I think it's necessary to notify the Wikipedia Foundation directly (see Copyright). As to deleting via the edit function, you could find the entire Williams student body having fun restoring the photo if you just do it that way.

If you want to contest Wikipedia's use of the daguerreotype of Emily Dickinson, please contact the Wikimedia Foundation at the address given at Contact us/Article problem/Copyright with your request, and give them information substantiating your copyright claim, rather than repeatedly deleting the image from the article. I have reverted your change for two reasons: first, though I am admittedly ignorant of the specific legal status of this image, I have a hard time imagining how a 160-year-old photo that has been published many, many times can still be copyrighted. And second, even if it is legitimately copyrighted now, it seems clear that the image is still covered under fair use as an iconic image used for illustration in this article. If you disagree, please contact the Foundation directly and they can resolve the situation. -- Rbellin|Talk 05:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Paul Statt
A tag has been placed on Paul Statt, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. TrulyBlue (talk) 12:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Public health law research
Someone has nominated public health law research for speedy deletion as being promotional. I don't know if it will end up deleted, but you might want to consider WP:MERGEing it to Public health law anyway, since that would help place the research in the greater context.

Speedy deletion nomination of Public Health Law Research


A tag has been placed on Public Health Law Research requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Brianhe (talk) 09:40, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
