Hello[edit]

I was very happy to see the expansion to the A.D. Roy article with such incredibly high quality material and a huge amount of good references. I noticed however that the text has copyright problems so unfortunately we can not keep that section in its present form. You can read about Wikipedia's policy on copyrighted material here.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Center for the Economics of Human Development (February 21)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

AfC notification: Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development has a new comment[edit]

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, It reads:

Such centers can be notable, and this is at the most famous university in the general field. It might make more sense to turn combine this and some related articles on other centers into an article, but I do not immediately see how to do it, as they aren;t in a particular department. Possible they would go into an article on Chicago's Social Sciences Division

But the immediate problem is that almost the entire article is copied from their about page http://cehd.uchicago.edu/page/about-cehd. This is never acceptable. Even if they were to give us permission for it according to WP:DCM, it still wouldn't be acceptable, because there is promotional wording throughout. (for example "innovative and topical research" or "promote rigorous empirical research to determine effective..." That's suitable writing--for their web site, but not an encyclopedia.

We do not let copyvios stay in WP, even temporarily, and I am going to have to delete the article. DGG ( talk ) 05:11, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Center for the Economics of Human Development, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://cehd.uchicago.edu/page/about-cehd. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 removed 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.

Status and Advice[edit]

Quite apart from copyvio, there's a problem that is almost as serious. Your user name indicates that you are contributing of behalf of the Center for the Economics of Human Development, or as am employee of that center. Please see & follow our rules about WP:Conflict of Interest and WP:USERNAME. and our Terms of Use, particularly with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. This is not optional.

I see that the very large copyvio noted above on the Roy article has not been removed; I shall unfortunately have to do so. I cannot tell exactly the extent of the copyvio, so I shall need to revert to the version prior to your first edit.

You must choose another username. On that user page, link to this page, and vice-versa. And make the proper disclosure, both on your user page and on the talk page of anything you may be writing in which there is a paid conflict of interest. DGG ( talk ) 05:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
