Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dirk Vermeersch
A tag has been placed on Dirk Vermeersch 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 blatant 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), 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.

September 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Jafeluv (talk) 13:26, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Please don't create aricles with copyrighted content
Your recent addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Copyright problems
Merely saying "I own the copyright, so it's OK" is not sufficient. I could say that about any copyrighted content I choose to copy to Wikipedia (who's to know who I really am to say I don't?). There are ways to deal with copyright issues: please refer to WP:Donating copyrighted material. However, since the material was also entirely promotional and not in the tone that Wikiepedia requires for encyclopedia articles, it's not clear that solving the copyright issue will allow the article to remain anyway. Finally, if you are the webmaster of this site as you claim, this constitutes a conflict of interest. You should not be creating the article about Mr. Vermeersch in the first place. Please refer to the relevant Wikipedia guidelines before continuing with this effort. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiDan61 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Dirk Vermeersch
Hello Webconstruct, let's have a word about the copyright issues of the Dirk Vermeersch article. As you probably understand, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted content for legal reasons. A copyright holder may give Wikipedia permission to use the content by releasing it under the GNU Free Documentation License and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. This can be done, for example, by adding a "copyleft notice" on the web site the content is from; for more information on how to do this, see Donating copyrighted materials. Also note that it's not possible to give a "Wikipedia-only" permission to use the content. I hope we can clear up this copyright issue, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. I will delete the article again in the meantime, to comply with our strict policy on copyright violations. I ask you to please refrain from recreating the article again until this issue has been sorted out. Best regards, Jafeluv (talk) 14:32, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
