Ways to improve German Canadian Club Hansa
Hi, I'm Morrand. Zee german, thanks for creating German Canadian Club Hansa!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Your article on German Canadian Club Hansa seems to paraphrase its sole reference too closely. Can you add some more sources, and rewrite it to be more original?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 16:35, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

copyright have been cleared
all rights issues have been cleared via Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License as I own the original text. Ticket#2012121710011045 thx!
 * I'm sorry, but we have to wait until the OTRS people confirm and log the permission. When they do, there will be an notice placed on Talk:German Canadian Club Hansa. Until then, the material must stay out of the article. Voceditenore (talk) 18:28, 17 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Understood. My apologies, I thought with the submission I was already cleared. Meanwhile, I attempted to address the point of concern for the "Present" section of the post; hoping to have made it sufficiently neutral, that it can be 'un-tagged'. Plus, I'm trying to figure out how to prove the sufficient 'notability' of Hansa... any suggestions? I'm new to this... Thanks a million! Zee german (talk) 18:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, Wikipedia can take a while to get used to. What you need to look for are newspaper or magazine articles about the club, or mentions of it in books. But these have to be entirely independent of the club itself, not written by its own members, and they have to be more substantial than just simple announcements of club events. This page explains more about it. Hope that helps. You might also want to visit another resource for beginners—Wikipedia's Teahouse. It's a place providing great support for new editors. You can ask questions (no question is too basic) and get helpful answers and advice from experienced editors. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 18:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks again! I genuinely appreciate the help! Zee german (talk) 19:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of German Canadian Club Hansa


A tag has been placed on German Canadian Club Hansa 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://web.archive.org/web/20130203073422/http://www.hansahaus.ca/hansa_history_written_1983 and Copyright present from initial edit. 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.
