October 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Polygnotus. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of an article. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal wikilinks. Normally, only one official link is included. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jason Sharman

Hello Helmut.groetzi-genf,

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

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

No problems thanks for letting me know. There is a new version of this article in draft if anyone wants to work further on it, but I am moving on to other stuff for now. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 00:04, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Adam Branch

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Adam Branch has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://www.polis.cam.ac.uk/Staff_and_Students/dr-adam-branch. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Helmut.groetzi-genf! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:11, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not copypaste content from copyrighted sources (or pretty much any source, unless it has a Creative Commons or other compatible licence). I've just deleted three of your articles that were lifted off the polis.cam.ac.uk website which clearly claims copyright. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:13, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, first time responding to new content request so wasn't aware - but will try again using unique sources for each sentence. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 12:19, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you mean by "new content request"? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:09, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

apologies - just meant the entries flagged for additional content Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 14:01, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay, I was just curious who has 'requested' these. Let me probe that slightly differently: the common feature in your creations appears to be that they're all academics from the Cambridge Dept of Politics and International Studies. Is there a reason for that, eg. do you have some connection with the department or these individuals? Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I teach in Germany and have no connection at all. I updated the dept wiki page with their most cited scholars as per Google Scholar, and 2-3 were still lacking entries. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 14:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, understood. Thank you.

You may want to take a look at our notability guideline for academics, WP:NPROF (and the related specific criteria at WP:NACADEMIC), so you know what we look for in such articles.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:37, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! This was really helpful. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 00:05, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing

And another thing: do not publish unreferenced articles, especially ones on living people (WP:BLP). BLP articles have particularly strict referencing requirements. Also, without any sources, there is no evidence that the subject is notable. Notability and verifiability are core requirements for publication in Wikipedia, possibly the most fundamental ones alongside copyright compliance. I suggest that until you are comfortable you understand these requirements, you should put any new articles through the WP:AFC review process rather than publishing directly into the main article space. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:17, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, was just about to come back and add the references - these were just the short primers while finding the links. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 12:21, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the review - I tried to ensure the entry was original but will review once more for compliance with wikipedia standards. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 19:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Christopher Bickerton has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Mette Eilstrup-Sangiovanni moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Mette Eilstrup-Sangiovanni. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 19:48, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sure that is no problem. I was trying to put in a quick entry for missing bios, but realize it is obviously a fine art and I'd rather not get personal details wrong. I will leave it for other editors to return and work on this one, I am done with it for now. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 00:01, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jason Sharman moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Jason Sharman. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and those sources should be reliable and independent. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:00, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure that is fine. I am done finding info for this entry, so leave it for other editors to finish the work of getting this over the line if they have the inclination to do so. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 00:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Roberto Stefan Foa moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Roberto Stefan Foa, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Pridemanty (talk) 04:36, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK - thought this one was fairly thorough, but have added more external references and resubmitted. Helmut.groetzi-genf (talk) 11:02, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
