Speedy deletion nomination of Barnaby taylor


A tag has been placed on Barnaby taylor requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * In response to your posting on my talk page regarding the deletion of your article as a copyright violation: yes, there is a way round it. Your statement regarding the necessity to obtain permission is not, in wikipedia terms, wholly correct; ownership must be demonstrated, not averred or assumed. Please follow the procedure as outlined in wikipedia copyright policy. Please also note notability guidelines.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 14:42, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello, Restlesscreatives. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Barnaby taylor, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  14:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  14:44, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments and guidance. With regards to copyright ownership needing to be demonstrated, would it be possible to "donate the Copyright material" to Wikipedia? Sorry, I'm working through Wikipedia's copyright policy and unsure of how to proceed with the BBC issue. I gave the material to them, with the understanding and agreement that it was not for their exclusive use (in fact, their researcher emailed me to ask if they could take the info off our site!) - I cannot ask them to remove the material from their site and can't see how I can then post it up on Wikipedia. I created it. This is a bit of an eye-opener for me on my first day here, so excuse any perceived ignorance on my part.

With regards to Conflict of Interest, I have changed my username so it is not linked with my organisation. I do, however, still have to place this biography on Wikipedia - as many visitors to our own site have mentioned the lack of Barnaby's presence on Wikipedia. I'm intrigued as to how many other composers have their biographies up on Wikipedia (which are all glowing and flattering), complete with links to publishers, their own websites and agents. How do their pages not constitute a conflict of interest? Is it merely a case of needing to change my username or more about the style of language used?

Many thanks for your guidance Restlesscreatives (talk) 15:16, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
