Speedy deletion nomination of Slifer House Museum


A tag has been placed on Slifer House Museum 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 http://www.susquehannalife.com/businesses/pa-lewisburg-slifer-house-museum/about. 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.

I am an unpaid intern currently working on the history of the nonprofit museum and I am hoping to make a public historical page about the historical museum. I am new to Wikipedia, and I am not sure I understand the full extent of the policy regarding conflict of interest after reading the policy. Can you please explain how the page or I am a conflict of interest. My goal is to share information about the historical site with the public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SliferHouse45 (talk • contribs)


 * We already have an article on Slifer House, and that is where I would expect information about its history to go; although I would be surprised if the information about the museum itself (as opposed to individual objects in it) would be anything more than a few sentences. By contrast, a genuinely notable museum such as the Science Museum gets around 3 million visitors a year.


 * The first thing you need to do is read the plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Put simply, it is difficult to write impartially about things you are closely connected with, even if you subconsciously try and remove the bias. You need to follow the instructions there that declare you relationship to Slife House and its museum.


 * When you have done this, you will need to file another unblock request to change your username. Use  for this, rather than the other unblock template, as it allows you to specify another username. This must be something clearly unconnected with a group or organisation, and easily tied to an individual. When you have done this, I can look at an unblock.
