Speedy deletion nomination of Walter reed tropical medicine course


A tag has been placed on Walter reed tropical medicine course, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Tropical medicine
Thank you for your contribution - we appreciate your efforts to add to Wikipedia, but we do ask that you understand that Wikipedia isn't a free webhost for classes or projects. Wikipedia doesn't accept advertising or promotion of any cause, no matter how worthy. We encourage you to use your knowledge of the subject to improve our information on the subject, understanding that content should be encyclopedic in nature and referenced to reliable third-party sources. We (and I) appreciate the work Walter Reed does, but there are more appropriate venues to publicize WR's courses on tropical medicine. We have many articles on tropical medicine subjects that could use a look from a knowledgeable expert; I encourage you to assist in the effort to improve the encyclopedia's coverage of those subjects.

License tagging for File:Jay P Sanford.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jay P Sanford.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Hunter at his desk2.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Hunter at his desk2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 04:34, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

 * While this image is hosted on a US government website there is no proof it is an official work and therefore in the public domain because according to this page this image which is from page 256 is credited to George Hunter, so it may not have been taken by anyone in their capacity of an official work and is therefore likely still in copyright. It is most unlikely that Hunter took the photo of himself. Can you verify the claim you made in the image details? ww2censor (talk) 01:54, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Richard N. Miller


The article Richard N. Miller has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Wgolf (talk) 20:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

File source problem with File:WRTMC cover.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:WRTMC cover.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jefferson Van Horne


A tag has been placed on Jefferson Van Horne 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://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fva08. 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.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, you may be blocked from editing. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  17:57, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Possible COI with WBAMC
Hello, Thesofine. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I would like to take this opportunity to ask if you currently, or have in the past, performed any work with WBAMC or with the US military? If you would be so kind as to direct your response to this COI noticeboard it would be much appreciated. Thank you!      Spintendo       07:44, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

< Thesofine Response >

- Hello and thank you for all you assistance. I used to live in El Paso and had a friend that worked at WBAMC as a nurse practitioner, who has since died; I met my friend in El Paso where she worked proudly at WBAMC. I can provide her obituary if you are interested.

One day I was thinking of my friend and found the WBAMC stub. It made me sad to see it undeveloped. . . as if no one cared. I was new to being a wiki contributor so I have worked to improve this (and other pages) from start class. I found it was interesting and fun. I like contributing to wiki pages I know something about. . . and I like learning about these topics as I research. I like contributing to USG articles because much of the information is public domain. I would like to see the rating for the WBAMC page go from a Start-class to a higher class on the quality assessment scale. Maybe in some weird way contributing to the WBAMC page is something I do to honor my friend's memory.

I do not work for the Army or for WBAMC. She did work at other hospitals, but I do not know anything about those other hospitals. I have not lived in El Paso since 2005. The last time I spoke to my friend was in 2012 while she was on her death bed. I do not have family or friends in El Paso. The last time I was any where close to WBAMC or El Paso was around 2008, I think. I am not paid to make these contributions.

- I have not edited or created articles about myself, my family, my friends, company, organization or competitors. My friend who died is not mentioned in this or any other wiki page. - I have no COI to disclose

- I have not linked to my organization's website in other articles. I do not contribute to my organization's website.

- I always do my best to comply with Wikipedia's core content policies. . . I do learn more as I contribute more.

Oddly enough, I have always been expecting someone from the WBAMC Public Affairs office to contact me about the wiki page but that has never happened. I have emailed them several times to ask questions or get clarifications, but they never respond to my emails.

Speedy deletion nomination of Expeditionary medicine (disambiguation)

 * disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
 * disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
 * is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
