Hanoch Kalai
This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hanoch Kalai, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.etzel.org.il/english/people/kalai.htm.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) VWBot (talk) 07:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hanoch Kalai


A tag has been placed on Hanoch Kalai 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Why deleted
Sorry, I have to agree with Zachlipton. The article is only a few hours old, yet it is the number one hit on Google. We can't leave a copyright violation up in this case. Please look into translating the Hebrew wiki article. You might also consider starting in user space (you can use the Article Wizard to do it easily) if you don't want to have to create the whole article in one edit.-- SPhilbrick  T  13:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Here is the original advice: If you want to translate the Hebrew entry, then that's fabulous and I look forward to seeing it. We just can't have the copied English text from another website here. You might want to see WP:Translation for some tips and information on how to attribute your translation. The Google Translation Toolkit is also a really helpful tool for translating Wikipedia articles. In any case, thanks for your understanding and welcome to Wikipedia. Zachlipton (talk) 08:08, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

This is pretty daft. So what it it was #1 on Google? How many people are actually going to search for this name on any given day?! Was I supposed to make the changes while at work?
 * No, no one is asking you to edit while at work. However, when you edit, you should ensure that what you add is not in violation of Wikipedia rules, and most particularly, in violation of the law. I recognize that a number of editors think it is OK to copy material under copyright, and then edit it over time to remove the copyright violation. That is not acceptable. If you want to take that approach (and it is not advisable), you should do it outside of Wikipedia, and only post the results when it is compliant. Or, you can translate the acceptable page, and post it at your convenience. -- SPhilbrick  T  20:50, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if this seemed harsh, but please understand the goal here is to protect Wikipedia and its users from legal threats. In the future, if you need a scratch space to work on an article, you can can create a userspace draft and edit at your leisure. Once you have the article ready for more public view, you can follow the instructions there to move your draft into the main article space. Note that copyright infringement is still as much of a problem in userspace as it is anywhere else on Wikipedia, but it's a great way to get a place to start writing or translating a new article.


 * In any case, I see you've been working on Hanoch Kalai. It looks lovely. One thing that might help future readers is if you brought over additional footnotes from the Hebrew article or supplied references for other sources you've consulted, as we often try to cite as much as possible in our articles. The page WP:REFB has a good guide to creating references in Wikipedia if you need some tips. Thanks again for your contributions and happy editing! Feel free to let me know if I can help with anything. Zachlipton (talk) 04:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ralph Cairns


A tag has been placed on Ralph Cairns requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
