Speedy deletion nomination of Vasilis Gregoriou


A tag has been placed on Vasilis Gregoriou 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.eie.gr/presidentprofile-en.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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.

Hello Sotkil. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sotkil. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Praxidicae (talk) 19:28, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Good evening dear Praxidicae. I don't think that is the case for a user who has created 800 articles and contributed 75,000 edits to Greek Wikipedia (see here). Also as a user I have 12,000 contributions to wikidata and have participated freely in many knowledge dissemination seminars. I think you are committing a serious misconduct because you are accusing me of something that is simply a suspicion in your mind! Sotkil (talk) 20:15, 7 February 2020 (UTC)
 * your edits are rather promotional hence my warning. Can you please also explain how you became the copyright holder of this photo?Praxidicae (talk) 21:03, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Praxidicae this is a completely different matter. The photo has nothing to do with the article. Please show very little good faith to a user who makes a significant contribution to Wikipedia. The photo is not mine, and will therefore be deleted or uploaded with another user as the copyright owner. Sotkil (talk) 21:23, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Vasilis Gregoriou. ''Stop removing this - there is a ton of COI editing, undisclosed on this article. If you remove it again, you will be blocked.'' Praxidicae (talk) 13:59, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
