Ways to improve Public Domain Calculator
Hi, I'm Dan Koehl. Pzwsk, thanks for creating Public Domain Calculator!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add references to the page

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Dan Koehl (talk) 11:29, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery


A tag has been placed on Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery 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://www.gfdrr.org/sites/default/files/publication/partnership-charter.pdf. 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:46, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Disclosure of employment
Hello Pzwsk. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Pzwsk. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:42, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for guidance, I am working for Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, which is an international organization under World Bank Group. I am not paid to contribute to wikipedia but I understand it could be still considered a conflict of interest.

However, in the meantime, the article Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery has been deleted.

Could you please advise me on what to do to either re-create or make the page created by someone else. The organization is mentionned in several wikipedia pages so I believe there are good arguments for the page to exist.

Thanks Pzwsk (talk) 13:55, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * If you are working for Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, and writing about them during the course of your employment, then you are a paid editor and bound by Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy. This is not negotiable.


 * I advise that you request that an article be written by an uninvolved party at Requested articles, with the understanding that there is a long backlog of requested articles. It may take some time before your request is noticed and an article written.


 * If this is not satisfactory, then you could try to create one with Article wizard. You will be expected to show that the organization is notable enough for inclusion by demonstrating that it has received significant coverage from multiple reliable sources that are independent of the organization itself. The organization's own website can be used as a primary source for basic facts and figures, but it alone won't establish it as notable (see Existence ≠ Notability). Social media and other self-published sources are disqualified because they consist of user-generated content; they lack the established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight that mainstream academic and journalistic sources have. If this can't be done, then I am sorry to say that it simply isn't considered worthy of inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:54, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Open Data for Resilience Initiative moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Open Data for Resilience Initiative, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. As written, none of the provided sources are independent of the subject. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Please note, however, that based on an internet search, I'm not sure you'll be able to find sufficient independent information about OpenDRI to meet notability guidelines, and I would thus strongly suggest that you consider first writing an article about the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery, and include coverage of OpenDRI in that article before attempting to spin it off into its own article. signed,Rosguill talk 22:32, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
