User talk:Tigressmcdaniel

I have reviewed the article which you have created, but I am afraid it's not remotely suitable for an encyclopedia and would better belong to a personal website. If Wikipedia is to have an article about you, the best course of action would be to delete this one and redo it from the scratch. (Coverage in reliable third-party sources is the primary inclusion/notability criterion. While you claim coverage by "inummerable" articles, you can't have us do your work for you. In any case, it is recommended that users do not create articles about themselves; see the conflict of interest guideline for why such editing may be problematic.)

I have also removed the legal threat from the article; legal or other threats are strictly prohibited on Wikipedia. You can't demand that Wikipedia publishes an article about you, just like you can't demand the same from a newspaper. (As a saying goes, freedom of the press only applies to those who own one.) For the record: I am not an official representative of the Wikimedia Foundation; I am just one of multiple volunteer administrators appointed by the community. If you want to contact Wikipedia mailing list for a semi-official inquiry, see Contact us - Subjects. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 14:52, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

You fail to understand law if you assert that my legal notice is a threat. The misuse of legal jargon (from daytime award winning series) never ceases to amaze me. My notice is legally sound. I'm firmly stating that you don't have and shall have no elective privy to post your own information about at your discretion and whim. I own full copyright to all of my person, privately and otherwise. I only extend permission, beit temporary and usually such time period is specified in great, unmistaken detail, to anyone who would seek to make any publishings concerning me, my career, research, statements et cetera, and otherwise legally permissible Intellectual Property, for which I shall never fully release copyright ownership.

This is your web-based platform. But you have no right of claim to any of my IP. You may not have that full understanding of law, but whether you do or not makes it no less binding. And indeed, of course, I've exercised my rights of IP, privatization, et cetera against newspapers who would immediately encourage you against underestimating my ability to do the same.

For the record, because you are NOT an official rep for Wikipedia, presuming this is Clyde, it is best that you not usurp any legal disposition on their behalf.

I have been in contact with Wikipedia reps who appear a little less, let's say, prematurely and unfoundingly combative. If what you wanted was revision to the article, a message similar to this would have been considerably more appropriate. Wikipedia need be concerned about their relationships with those about whom they publish articles, if not more so. This is NOT a unilateral exception to any rule of journalism. This record has been stored. A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Tigressmcdaniel/draft biography, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
 * I just want to verify: does your message above constitute an express refusal to release your article under the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike license (CC-BY-SA)? Because if that's the case, then your article cannot remain on Wikipedia and would have to be deleted; to do otherwise would constitute a copyright violation. (All Wikipedia articles are published under the CC-BY-SA license; obviously, we can't do that if the author has declined to license it.) On the other hand, if you agree to publish your article under that license, then the license specifically allows anybody (on or outside Wikipedia) to use and modify the article, to incorporate it in a derivative work, and to use it or the derivative work commercially. The only conditions are that the authors are credited, such as by linking back to the original article, and that any work that makes use of the licensed content is itself under the same license. So which way is it? - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:02, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As for the question of why I have nominated your article for deletion: it was under the speedy deletion criteria. There are certain classes of articles that may be deleted upon discovery by any administrator (the speedy deletion candidates). In the case of your article, I was acting under the criterion A7: article about a living person that contained no indication of importance or significance. It was my opinion that your article, though lengthy, was liable for deletion under that criterion; as I have said, it was more suitable for a personal website than for an article in an encyclopedia. Since I thought that it was a complicated case, I declined to delete it myself and instead marked it as a (possible) deletion candidate, effectively soliciting an opinion of another administrator. You claim that you weren't making a legal threat, but your article contained a claim that an attempt to delete the article will be met with legal action. If that's not a legal threat, what is it? (And let me inform you once again that such threats are strictly forbidden on Wikipedia, and users who make them may be blocked unless and until the threat is withdrawn.) Finally, there is no doubt that the Wikimedia Foundation and/or the Wikipedia community are well within their right to define the content and behavioral policies, and to delete articles and block users that violate them. The right to freedom of expression also includes the right to refrain from expression; you can't use it to force Wikipedia to accept your article. (See the Wikipedia page on the freedom of speech.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, 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 deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Melcous (talk) 23:19, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

February 2016
Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. You are, of course, welcome to make contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, but if your purpose is to write a personal web page, then you would be better advised to use one of the many web sites which do provide that sort of service, such as a social network site or a web hosting service. Also, you should be aware that if you continue to attempt to use Wikipedia for self-promotion, an administrator is likely to block you from editing.

 * Plus, don't make unwarranted accusations against other users. As a matter of fact your article didn't contain any references. Your claim that the article was deleted under "knowingly false assertion that the text lacked verifiable sources" is manifestly untrue. Finally, as I have warned you, all Wikipedia articles and other texts are under the CC-BY-SA license (see the copyright policy). If you have specifically declined to release it under the license, then it cannot remain on Wikipedia and has to be deleted. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 20:11, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
