Speedy deletion nomination of Sweet Revenge Band Official


A tag has been placed on Sweet Revenge Band Official 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 www.sweetrevenge.tv/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 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 "Click here to 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. Blackguard 21:07, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Blocked
I am afraid I have deleted your article Sweet Revenge Band Official, as well as its copy in your user page User:Sweet Revenge Band Official, and blocked you from editing.

It appears that you are trying to use the Wikipedia article as an official website of your band. This is fundamentally against the Wikipedia policies; Wikipedia may not be used as a hosting service, or for any kind of promotional or advertising. In addition, you claim copyright of the article text with "all rights reserved". This is not acceptable, either. All Wikipedia articles are under the CC-BY-SA license, which expressly permits modification of the work (creation of derivative works) and third-party commercial use. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 22:15, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This wasn't supposed to be a website, we already have one... by all means check us out - www.sweetrevenge.tv I don't understand why I can't edit and use it as another band page. There are many other bands on Wiki that have their own site... The Stones, Green Day ect. So why can't we, I thought this was an editing site as long as the info is valid? Which it is.

Regards.
 * No, you can't use Wikipedia articles as "another band page". Articles about bands are generally not created by the band themselves; and in any case, subjects of articles cannot control the contents of their articles. See the history of The Rolling Stones - the article was created back in 2001, and has since been edited by various users thousands of times. As I have said, use of Wikipedia as a hosting service or for promotional purposes is expressly prohibited. In other words, Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia, which is a compendium of existing knowledge, not a means of making something known. For this reason, Wikipedia has inclusion (notability) guidelines; coverage in reliable third-party sources is the primary criterion. Other core policies include the policy of verifiability and neutrality. There's also still a problem of copyright. If already published copyrighted material is to be used on Wikipedia, it needs to be verifiably released under a free license. You would need to e-mail the Wikipedia mailing list and confirm that the text is indeed under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL license (or under compatible terms), or put a notice to that extent on the website itself. Instead, you have in the edit summary expressly declined to license the text under a free license, claiming "all rights reserved" (in violation of a notice below the edit box that by submitting any content to Wikipedia you agree to release it under the two above-mentioned licenses). But this question is really academic. Even with the copyright cleared, your article wasn't close to being acceptable on Wikipedia. There are speedy deletion criteria; an article meeting these criteria may be summarily deleted by any administrator upon discovery. Your article was indeed liable for deletion under the criterion A7 - failure to make a claim of importance or significance, and criterion G11 - unsalvageable promotional.
