Clarence K.K. Chinn
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Clarence K.K. Chinn, may be copied from http://www.alexmardigras.com/kkchinn.htm. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Clarence K.K. Chinn


A tag has been placed on Clarence K.K. Chinn 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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 21:38, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from other sites, even if no copyright notice is displayed, unless the source clearly says that the material is in the public domain or is released under a license compatible with Wikipedia's CC-BY-SA. Assertion of permission, or of authorship, is not enough. See Copy-paste, and for more detail Copyrights.


 * The procedure for making a copyright release is explained at WP:Donating copyrighted materials, but it is not often worth doing that, because material written for another purpose is likely, because of promotional tone or for other reasons, to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article.


 * Wikipedia article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 21:59, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
