Welcome!

Hello, Wikiterrym1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Tech Nation with Dr. Moira Gunn, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tech Nation with Dr. Moira Gunn


A tag has been placed on Tech Nation with Dr. Moira Gunn 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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.

Your 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 websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.  Ron h jones (Talk) 20:57, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Please also see the page on Donating copyrighted materials. Please note that even then, we can't take everything, and you must be the copyright holder in order to donate. Even still, it would probably be easier to write the article in your own words, citing that page as a source.--Unionhawk Talk E-mail 21:19, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Misunderstanding about copyright
On Talk:Technation (and elsewhere), you posted the comment
 * I have use no copyrighted material with regards to Dr Gunn. This post is her words in a blog and I know Dr Gunn persoanlly

This shows that you have misunderstood the notion of copyrights and how they apply to Wikipedia. If Dr. Gunn has written something in her blog, she owns the copyright to that text and it cannot be reused on Wikipedia without the proper permission. Copyright is an implicit thing; one does not need to explicitly claim copyright for a copyright to exist. Rather, one must explicitly disclaim a copyright in order for the material to be public domain. The fact that you know Dr. Gunn personally is immaterial; Dr. Gunn himself (herself?) would need to contact Wikipedia in a manner that is unmistakably identifiable and explicitly release the material to the public domain. Short of that, the material cannot be used on Wikipedia. I hope that clears things up a bit. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:31, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
