[edit]

The page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/SHOR has been deleted again, as it is still a copyright infringement of the same pages as it was the previous time it was deleted. The issue is perfectly clear-cut and unambiguous: the content you posted appears on pages bearing the notices "Copyright © www.shorlgbtq.com, 2013 All Rights Reserved" and "All Rights Reserved by UKAsiaOnline.com". I see that the copyright statement on your web site has recently been changed, and now says "No part of this story may be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoever without permission except in the case of brief quotations embodied in articles or reviews with clear referencing to शोर !SHOR, the author (and the editor if applicable)". There is no way that that is an accurate description of what you did, making a whole draft article from the content, and in any case, that is not consistent with Wikipedia's licensing terms. Unless you are willing to license the content of your web site for reuse by anyone in the world, as-is or modified, at full length (not just "brief quotations"), it will not be compatible with Wikipedia's licensing terms. Editors who persist in copyright infringement after the issues have been brought to their attention may be blocked from editing. However, before you consider whether to put time and effort into releasing the content for free re-use by anyone in the world, I think it only fair to let you know that the content will never be acceptable as a Wikipedia article, no matter what its copyright status. This is because the material is unambiguously promotional, and Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anything, be it a person, an organisation, a business, a campaign, a point of view or opinion, or anything else. You should also be aware that if you have close personal connection to the organisation then Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines strongly discourage you from writing about it. Wikipedia articles need to be written from a neutral, third party, point of view, not from the point of view of an insider. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:15, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
