Welcome!
Hello, Shangkeinus2016eps, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Plate Boundaries, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mr. Vernon (talk) 07:17, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Plate Boundaries


A tag has been placed on Plate Boundaries 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 a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from Harold V. Thurman.(2013). Essentials of Oceanography. Pearson. ISBN-13: 9780321814050. 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.

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.

This is your only warning; if you create an inappropriate page again, as you did at Plate Boundaries, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Mr. Vernon (talk) 07:18, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Your article
You would not be able to delete an article yourself. Only administrators can do that. Please note that while we try to accommodate educational projects, this is a working encyclopaedia and not an exercise book. Edits must be in line with our policies and guidelines. Allowing edits that do not comply would not be in the interests either of the encyclopaedia or of the students themselves, as it would give a false picture to them of how we work. In this case, we already have an article Plate tectonics which covers the area you did. We do not have multiple articles on one subject. As to 'fair use', that on Wikipedia applies only to images that are considered necessary to an article, and which are impossible to obtain by other means. It does not apply to text, except for very brief quotes where the wording is important for some reason. These must be clearly marked as quotes, and appropriately attributed. Text can in the vast majority of cases be rewritten to avoid copyright violation, and when doing this, it should be so as to avoid the structure of the original and not just be changes of word here and there. The rules here are not those of academia, and what 'must be' there quite often 'must not be' here, and vice versa. Peridon (talk) 14:16, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
