I saw that you deleted my edits. Thank you for trying to delete vandalism! However, I was merely trying to be silly on the testing page. I'm sorry if I actually violated policy, however. RealSanix (talk) 19:24, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Wait, I just realized you actually were writing your own article there. Never mind, I guess. RealSanix (talk) 19:30, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi RealSanix! I appreciate the information; I'm an absolute Wikipedia novice and didn't mean to cause any disharmony. I'm just trying to get my bearings here to add a few pages pertaining to ballet, but I'll do a bit more quiet research before making any additional changes or creating any pages. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Margaret Barbieri


A tag has been placed on Draft:Margaret Barbieri 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 sarasotaballet.org/margaret-barbieri-assistant-director-repetiteur. 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.

 * As reviewing administrator, I had to delete it--we do not permit copyright violations to remain, even temporarily. If you rewrite the article, see WP:Close paraphrase -- it's not enough just to change the wording. But please see the materiallinked  above about donating copyright material--it's a reasonable option.  DGG ( talk ) 22:12, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
