Speedy deletion nomination of Hugh Colin MacKay


A tag has been placed on Hugh Colin MacKay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jean-Robert Bernier


A tag has been placed on Jean-Robert Bernier 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://www.forces.gc.ca/en/about-org-structure/comeds-chairman-elect-bio.page. 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 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 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.

Please don't copy any more content that you find elsewhere online
Hello. I am Diannaa and I am an administrator on this wiki. Prose you find online is almost always copyright, and cannot be copied here; it's against the law to do so. All prose must be written in your own words. There's more information about copyrights and how it applies to Wikipedia at FAQ/Copyright. Copyright law and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policies. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa. I'll summarize and re-word most of them, but I don't understand the concern with content taken from the Canadian defence department website. Its cpoyright terms state the following:

" 5. Crown Copyright / Commercial and Non-Commercial Reproduction In order to use Crown copyright protected materials managed by the Department of National Defence or the Canadian Armed Forces (DND/CAF), such as the photographs and videos available at www.combatcamera.ca, the textual material available on this website, or the recordings and performances of CAF bands, please follow the instructions below. NOTE: The instructions below do not apply to trade-marks such as CAF badges, crests, flags and insignia, as well as the Yellow Ribbon associated with the “Support Our Troops” program. Permission is not Required When the use is non-commercial. When the use is commercial but the anticipated revenue is under $10,000. Permission is Required When the material is being revised, adapted, modified, or translated. When the material will be used commercially and the anticipated annual revenue exceeds $10,000. To request permission for (a) or (b) above, please apply for a license. NOTE: Use is never allowed when the use of a reproduction would: be in an undignified context; be considered unfair, misleading or inaccurate (e.g. suggest an endorsement by DND/CAF); be used in a context that may prejudice or harm a third party; or be considered inappropriate by the author department or agency."

Since permission is not required "When the use is non-commercial", why were my Surgeon General entries taken from the Canadian defence department's website deleted?Red robin girl (talk) 22:03, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The problem is that our license permits any re-use, including commercial use, and we also permit the text to be modified, revised, translated and theirs does not, so it's not a compatible license. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:57, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Please do not mark all your edits as minor when they do not meet the criteria
Hi Red robin girl! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.
