Speedy deletion nomination of St Peter's School, Seaford


A tag has been placed on St Peter's School, Seaford requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Why the article was deleted
You said: This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because I am the author of the page on the St Peter's Seaford website and believe that as St Peter's no longer exists and also in view of the numbers of past pupils from the school who appear on other Wikipedia pages, that a page on St Peter's is of general public interest. Thank you for your consideration

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Wikipedia using material from. Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The article has been deleted pending verification.

The simplest way to verify is to place a release on that external website putting the material into public domain or co-licensing it under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which permit modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given. This release is irrevocable and must continue to be displayed, or the material may need to be removed. A statement such as the following would be sufficient: "The contents of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GNU Free Documentation License, unversioned with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts." If you decide to take this route, please put a link to that release on the talk page of any recreation of the article.

Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the original publication to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org] or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL. There is a boilerplate release form at Declaration of consent for all enquiries which can be helpful. Please provide a clear link to the website in your e-mail and specify by name the articles on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents can be restored if your release is legally sufficient. If you decide to take this route, please put a note on the talk page of any recreation of the article. You can compose a note or very simply paste the following on the talk page, brackets and all:

We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement.

Before verifying permission, please first review the material to ensure that is compliant with Wikipedia's requirements for verifiability and neutrality and does not contain "original research". (If you are closely related to the subject matter, you may also want to read our conflict of interest guidelines; if you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you should review Starting an article or Your first article.) Even if permission is verified, material may be modified or removed if it is otherwise inconsistent with our policies and guidelines.

Thank you. -- SPhilbrick (Talk)  13:46, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

St Peter&
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a search with the contents of St Peter&, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: St Peter's School, Seaford. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

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. CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:53, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Good luck
Congratulations on your first article. I made a few additions (links and a template for references). Was anyone ever able to help you with photos?--Koppas (talk) 23:28, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you Koppas for your input and additions to my article. I am still a little mistified as to how Wikipedia works - one day it will all become clear, I am sure. I have not resolved how to get the photos up. I uploaded them as I understood I was meant to but they simply do not appear on the article. Can you help? Do I have to leave on this page all the deletion paragraphs above or can I delete them as they simply confuse? StephenCKent (talk) 11:58, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Could the photos' files have been deleted? I tried finding those filenames, but with no luck. Assuming there are no copyright issues, you could try uploading them again Upload. I haven't worked with photos for a long time, but I preferred to use Wikimedia Commons  Upload Wizard.  Photos uploaded to Commons can also be used in articles at Wikipedia.  Try using the "Image" command with the correct filename [[Image:filename|thumb|widthpx|Caption text]].


 * Here's an example of the wiki code that created the image here: [[Image:Mendelson Liquidation.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Whatever caption is appropriate]]
