Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Nordlander

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 Peter Nordlander 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 a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://nordlander.rice.edu/members/nordlander. 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 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 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 or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia: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 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. --Finngall ^talk 19:08, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Paul Mulvaney

Hello Hbunje,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Paul Mulvaney for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Copyright violations

Hello Hbunje, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. If you have a legitimate reason for copying and pasting this content, please state this on the article's talk page.Thank you. LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 19:42, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Wee

I found this in my new pages feed. I added some maintenance tags and they should not be removed by you, but other editors/contributors once the issues are corrected.

If you are writing this article about yourself, please note: creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If the article not about yourself, please provide sufficient information with cited sources and references and make sure the person meets Wikipedia's Notability Guidelines

If you have any questions or need to discuss it with me, please do it By clicking Here

Thanks! --Ericf505 (talk) 02:07, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Ericf505: I don't believe it's autobio--it appears to be a systematic effort to create articles on every assistant editor for ACS Nano, featuring a whole lot of copying and pasting from primary sources. --Finngall ^talk 02:23, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@:Finngall: Should I remove my tags on the page then or leave them? --Ericf505 (talk) 02:30, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was tasked with creating Wikipedia pages for all the ACS Nano Associate Editors. I asked them all to send me a bio and didn't doublecheck before posting that some of them were just copied from their own web pages. After discovering that this morning though, I'm writing the entries myself.

What can I do to make the pages better/more notable? What types of references should I be citing? Thanks for your help!

Hbunje (talk) 03:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The upshot of it is that the main sourcing for an article should be from secondary sources, not primary sources. See WP:42 for Wikipedia's version of the answer to life, the universe, and everything. See WP:GNG for general notability guidelines, and also WP:PROF for more specific notability guidelines for academics. Finally, if (as it seems) you're working for ACS, then I'll remind you that if you are engaging in paid editing on behalf of an employer or client, under the Terms of Use (to which you agreed in order to create your account) you MUST disclose this affiliation. Let me know if you have further questions. --Finngall ^talk 04:55, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance, I'll read through those guidelines. I don't know if I qualify as paid editing or not - I work for the Editor in Chief of the journal, not the journal directly - and am not being paid specifically for this. Hbunje (talk) 05:21, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that qualifies. --Finngall ^talk 06:52, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Andrew Wee

The article Andrew Wee has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Highly promotional article written by a paid editor

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. agtx 16:45, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
