Hi Thalia42, A quick note that I gave you a shout out for your contribution on the "Social Justice Warrior" Wikipedia article. This was a review for The Outline in the Wackipedia series.

Wackipedia - Social Justice Warrior

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Bob Swan a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. --Animalparty!

Speedy deletion nomination of Clare Dalton


A tag has been placed on Clare Dalton 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 https://www.northeastern.edu/law/academics/faculty/directory/print_1_4977_4977.html and http://archive.boston.com/lifestyle/articles/2011/05/24/for_legal_scholar_clare_dalton_a_sharp_turn_from_academia_to_acupuncture_was_a_natural_fit/. 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. –  Broccoli  &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 01:07, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * The only portion that was a copy was the list of awards she won. The rest was not. She is clearly notable, given the number of articles & references cited.  Why delete instead of clean up?  --Thalia42 (talk) 19:40, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * The entire thing was copied. I agree that she probably is notable, but it was a clear copyvio issue so at the very least would need to be deleted, then re-started. –  Broccoli  &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 21:47, 15 March 2019 (UTC)


 * No the entire thing was not copied. I wrote it.  Is there a way I can get back at the draft? --Thalia42 (talk) 21:54, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

 * The only content that was potentially copied from copyrighted sources is the list of her credentials, which I'm not rephrasing. This rejection is dumb. Thalia42 (talk) 00:11, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Biographies

 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also declare any conflict of interest you might have Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:46, 12 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have no conflict of interest (never even met her), and did include plenty of sources that were not linked to her (unless of course you consider all government or IETF sources to be linked, since she worked for the government. I'm very curious what the notability standard is for women, because the standard you are attempting to enforce here are not the same as the standard I had for biographical authors of men that I submitted.
