This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because it clearly has problems, but the newbie editor went to significant effort finding a good collection of references, and this can potentially be fixed. --Pharos (talk) 04:07, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You aren't calling me 'the newbie editor' and insulting me! Would you mind if I told the head of Wikipedia about this? I was trying a subject out and then I get insulted. I'm not having anyone talk to me like that.
To whomever left this unsigned comment (Reddogsix is the only non-bot in the history), I believe that Pharos is referring to Ryanjosey who has attended a couple of editathons in NYC, and was making his first page. He clearly made a good faith effort, but missed the bit about WP:copyvio. In the interest of WP:DONTBITE I would recommend we don't speedy delete, and allow the user to RW. --Theredproject (talk) 12:24, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I just cleaned this up. I'm not going to RM the flag, as I am now an editor of the page, but I think it is satisfactory to pass the copyvio threshold. --Theredproject (talk) 12:53, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or published material; such additions will be deleted. Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original orplagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with these policies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:36, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
