Speedy deletion nomination of Star of Greece (shipwreck)
A tag has been placed on Star of Greece (shipwreck) 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 blatant 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.

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 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.

 * I have temporarily removed the speedy deletion template and replaced it with copyvio. Please follow the instructions below - they are also on the template placed on the article. If the issue is not settled within one week, the article may be deleted. Tim Song (talk) 07:27, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Star of Greece (shipwreck)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Star of Greece (shipwreck), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from Australian Shipwrecks. A Pictorial History. Axiom Publishing, 2009. ISBN 978 1 8647658 8 5, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under allowance license, then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Star of Greece (shipwreck) and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Star of Greece (shipwreck), in your email. See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Star of Greece (shipwreck) with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Star of Greece (shipwreck). See Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at [ this temporary page]. Leave a note at Talk:Star of Greece (shipwreck) saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Tim Song (talk) 07:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Your attention is requested
Dear Mr Christopher, your attention is requested here for discussion of your book and it's copyright status. Basket of Puppies 07:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Donating copyrighted material
Hi, if you want to donate your work to Wikipedia, please follow the instructions here (it is for donating material that are already online, but the procedure is similar). In particular, you will need to contact our volunteer response team to verify that you are the copyright holder. Please check out our standard consent form at WP:CONSENT and follow the instructions therein. Thanks for your contributions! (BTW, you do not need to put a hangon template now that the article is no longer a candidate for speedy deletion.) Tim Song (talk) 07:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Star of Greece-- on pause for a bit, sorry...
I wanted to let you know that, in regards to your article Star of Greece (shipwreck), that I've "frozen" the text for now while the copyright issue is sorted out and WikiMedia has given the okay. I have not removed any content from the article and it will literally be a 2 second fix to get back to where it was once this is dealt with. You're very enthusiastic and open about this so assuming good faith isn't much of a challenge :)  ...Please contact me on my talk page if you have any concerns, but I really want to play it safe on this, as copyright matters are on the shorter list of things that need to be handled by users and admins ASAP. While some articles things might be deleted without official permissions officially settled yet, I'm kind of winging it to keep the whole process a little cleaner and hopefully anyone wandering by will read my notice and not change anything. There are a few comments on the article talk page you may want to read, as well. Cheers~  ♪ daTheisen(talk) 09:26, 15 November 2009 (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. MLauba (talk) 09:36, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Peter Christopher (author)


The article Peter Christopher (author) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * autobio with no evidence of notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. &mdash; RHaworth 01:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
