Speedy deletion nomination of Performance assessment in education
Hello Sferrara1951,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Performance assessment in education for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

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. scope_creep (talk) 11:18, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
I've see you've removed the WP speedy tag for Copyright issues. I read your talk page message. If it is critically important, it needs the article needs to be reworded. Wikipedia has no mechanism to validate external content and validate truth as to whether the external contents have been written by WP editor. There is no mechanism. The WP:COI mechanism is extremely serious within WP. If you don't find new sources, to reference the article, that don't reference your external content, then the article will be removedm and yourself possibly blocked. Please find new valid references. scope_creep (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Copyright, notability and conflict of interest
Thank you for your interest in creating an article for Performance assessment in education on Wikipedia. There are multiple problems with your submission. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder. In short, a copyright owner cannot offer Wikipedia a one-time license for use. Rather, the copyright to the material has to be released – permanently and irrevocably – into the public domain or under a free copyright license that is compatible with Wikipedia's licenses. This is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, so all content must be licensed for that purpose. You can learn more about this policy at Copyrights. The second problem is notability. I am not sure the topic you are writing about is notable enough, as Wikipedia defines it, to have an article. We require write-ups in reliable third party sources such as newspapers, magazines, or online publishers to establish notability. New articles about topics that are not notable are typically speedily deleted. The third problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own work or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view.

If you'd like to use the copyrighted content in an article, you can follow the instructions at Requesting copyright permission on how to obtain the proper licensing. If you are the copyright holder, refer to Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how to grant us permission to use your content. Alternatively, you could write a new article that does not closely paraphrase the material available online. However you would then still have to abide by the conflict of interest guideline, and even so, there is a likelihood that the article may be speedy deleted due to lack of notability. In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

I'm sorry this message could not be more favourable. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 17:42, 20 December 2016 (UTC)
