Speedy deletion nomination of Bank Ground Farm, Coniston, Cumbria, UK


A tag has been placed on Bank Ground Farm, Coniston, Cumbria, UK requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.redbubble.com/people/philiphmitchell/works/10659540-bank-ground-farm-coniston-water-and-coniston-old-man-lake-district-national-park-cumbria-uk. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:49, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion and copyright
Hi Philip, I'm not sure if you saw my comments on the talk: page before this was deleted.

I'm assuming that you're the author of the two sites noted and that you're also trying to add a copy to WP. This confuses the WP process and, as you've seen, there's likely to be a very rapid deletion of the article wrapped up in dire warnings and threats. This is not really a problem (despite the tone of the warnings).

If you're the author or rights holder of the original content, then you're also welcome to post it here. Two caveats:
 * This rights ownership has to be recorded (see WP:OTRS), usually by an email.
 * Anything you post here has to be freely licensed, i.e. you are also releasing it for other people to use.

If I can help at all, get in touch. If you contact an admin (maybe Jimfbleak, who did the deletion here) they'd be able to give you a copy of the previous version so that you can work on it further. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:02, 7 August 2013 (UTC) Andy, thank you. As you'll realise, I'm very new to Wikipedia, such that I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing by writing this here! I don't own or act as author for the Bank Ground website, though I did have spoken permission from its owner to modify the text as appropriate for use as captions for photos I had taken. Trouble is, he doesn't often answer emails..... I don't own the RedBubble website, though I do have control of my own small part of it. As I understand it, photographers posting on this site retain copyright of their images, and a clear attribution is sufficient for captions. Plainly my hastily revamped offering failed to meet Wikipedia's rightly high standards in a number of respects. To judge by the number of links I was able to make, however, I think there is enough interest in Arthur Ransome and the places associated with his books to merit a page on Bank Ground. I was prompted to attempt something after successfully (at least, there have as yet been no howls of protest) editing the article on SY Gondola. I would like to attempt a short article, using links to existing pages to fill out the Ransome connections. PhilipHMitchell (talk) 16:49, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
