Your contributed article, Jewish Comsumptives Relief Society


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Jewish Comsumptives Relief Society. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Jewish Consumptives Relief Society. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Jewish Consumptives Relief Society. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:05, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles are written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:42, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Also, please read WP:COI. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:42, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Hello: It appears the content in question that was removed was a section of notable alumni and faculty which is common on art school wiki pages. I graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art and you can see their wiki page here includes both of those sections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_Institute_College_of_Art In fact, theirs includes less substantiating information about the notability of those alumni and faculty.

And now it also appears that the list of galleries has been removed as well. I'm wondering how this article differs from other art schools in terms of content allowance?


 * The list of galleries was in total a copyright violation, as well as promotional in tone. I'm hoping you take the time to read these explanations; often and unfortunately, promotional accounts don't. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:31, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

The overall language of the article is objective and encyclopedic from what I can tell. Is there particular language that is objectionable? Thanks!Poetxpress (talk) 02:27, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi, the rationale for inclusion in a list of notables may be read at WP:WTAF, which I referenced in an edit summary. Most of the alumni listed in the MICA article qualify, and those that don't may be removed. Much of the language you added did not meet WP:NPOV, and some of it was copied. As noted, WP:COI must be divulged. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:28, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * There isn't a WP:COI - I'm editing this on a Saturday night at home (when I should apparently be doing something more fun). The college is in my area and their wiki page was uninformative compared to other art colleges as noted so I thought I'd help flesh it out. I appreciate your quick responses but after reading the WP:NPOV I fail to see how the language used for the notable alumni was inappropriate. Any language regarding superlatives was from the cited source, not my own (which would qualify the faculty or alumni as notable, right?). Sorry to not be getting the gist of your edit but I'm just not seeing it after reading the referenced articles... especially in the context of other like-schools upon which I was basing this article. Poetxpress (talk) 02:44, 13 August 2017 (UTC)


 * OK. Again, to clarify: generally, notability is accepted if an individual is already the subject of an article here, per WP:WTAF. otherwise, they are removed. The promotional language was mostly that which you copied directly from the university's website, and that's not allowable for two reasons, as stated here previously: non-neutrality and copyright violation. The copyright problem has also been noted at two articles you created--we don't plagiarize. Thanks, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 02:48, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jewish Consumptives Relief Society


A tag has been placed on Jewish Consumptives Relief Society 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 http://barthworks.com/lakewoodcohistory/historiclocations/jcrs/jcrs.htm. 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 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. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 01:47, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
