Speedy deletion nomination of Georges Matheron Award (with Lecturership)


A tag has been placed on Georges Matheron Award (with Lecturership) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mediran talk to me! 11:54, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited International Association for Mathematical Geosciences, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Geoscientist and Informatics. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Gordon Kaufman (Statistics)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Gordon Kaufman (Statistics), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://mitsloan.mit.edu/expertiseguide/facultybio.html?w=SP000069.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 05:18, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gordon Kaufman (Statistics)
Hello Bsdsagar,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Gordon Kaufman (Statistics) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kavdiamanju (talk) 05:19, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:John-Warvelle-Harbaugh.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:John-Warvelle-Harbaugh.jpg, which you've attributed to Google. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Diannaa (talk) 01:49, 8 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The creator of the file File:John-Warvelle-Harbaugh.jpg is Prof. John W. Harbaugh. He has no objection to use this photograph. I have his consent to use this.Salani 15:04, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Qiuming Cheng


The article Qiuming Cheng has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 21:58, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Daniel F Merriam.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Daniel F Merriam.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is [ a list of your uploads]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 17:09, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Jef caers.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement.

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.

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 "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Sagar-Lecture-SIRARM.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Sagar-Lecture-SIRARM.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://www.crcpress.com/authors/i816-bs-daya-sagar. 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 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.

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 "Click here to 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. Whpq (talk) 14:41, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I have uploaded several images, which were deleted eventually, mentioning that they are copyright violations. Several of these images are my own works in the sense that those photographs were taken during conferences with consents of those people on whom these pages are created, and a few of these images are used after having consents from the people on whom these pages are created. In regard to logo uploaded, the oral consent was taken from the IAMG General Secretary. Hence I request you to please retain them as they do not violate any copyrights. Besides this, some of the images that were not used anywhere else were actually shared by those people on whom these pages are created. A few of those people on whom these pages have been created have requested to upload their photographs by sending their' photographs. I request you to kindly guide on this issue. If you still feel that these images should not have been uploaded, please drop a word so that I would delete them right away.Salani 06:13, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Image licensing and copyrights
Hi,

You have uploaded a lot of images, and aside from a logo, they are all claimed to be your work and that you released them under a CC-by-SA license. A large number of these have been deleted as clear copyright violations as the images have clearly been simply copied off the web. Copyright is a serious issue. Please see Copyrights, and Copyright violations. Please respond to this message so that we can have a discussion about the other images have uploaded. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 18:19, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * The problem is that you have identified yourself as the copyright holder in every upload. That would be true if you took the pictures yourself.  But that is not the case if somebody else took the pictures and gave them to you to use.


 * You need to go through your image uploads and identify which ones are pictures that you actually took yourself, and ones which were not taken by you.
 * For the pictures you took yourself, you would be the copyright holder and you are fine with uploading then to Wikipedia under a CC license.
 * The pictures that you did not take yourself will need to be deleted unless formal permission is provided from the copyright holders. For more information on that, see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * I hope this clears things up. I sincerely appreciate you responding to my message.  You can post a reply to this message identifying which files are yours, and which files are not.  Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 15:08, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Andre G Journel.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Andre G Journel.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eric Grunsky


The article Eric Grunsky has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Cahk (talk) 09:13, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Honorary Life Membership
Hello, Salani,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Honorary Life Membership should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Honorary Life Membership.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Slatersteven (talk) 16:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi Salani,
 * Re above: the title "Honorary Life Membership" is extremely generic, so there's no way that what you've written could possibly stay at that title. But the content seems fine; it would just be far more natural to include it as a section in International Association for Mathematical Geosciences (that article is not too long, and you've even created the space for it already).  In fact, I am going to go ahead and merge it there now.
 * All the best,
 * JBL (talk) 18:01, 1 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok, I have done the merge. Do you understand what the parenthetical years are in that section?  Their meaning is not clear.  --JBL (talk) 18:10, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Gregoire Mariethoz.jpg
You uploaded or restored, File:Gregoire Mariethoz.jpg, but for various reasons did not add an information block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work: please include own in the relevant source field, amend the information added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers. You can also add  and an  to the media by uploader or presumed_self tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the information where appropriate).

If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:

Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or own, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log].

It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :).

Proposed deletion of File:Gregoire Mariethoz.jpg


The file File:Gregoire Mariethoz.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "unused, low-res, no obvious use"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:02, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
