Hello. Dr. Fisher. I have just reviewed the OTRS permission ticket for the article Harold Mendelsohn. I see that you were given some code to paste on the talk pages of articles you create to help avoid confusion over the copyright status of the content. I have pasted this code (with slight modification, to identify the university) on your user page, at User:Steven Paul Fisher. You should be able to just copy-paste it (curly brackets and all) to the article's talk pages. Please be sure you are logged in when you do this - these tags are not generally supposed to be applied by individuals who are not OTRS agents, and I fear that your doing so as an IP edtor is likely to cause some confusion. If people are confused by your doing so under your named account, you can simply point them to your user page and note that the template was placed there by somebody who is an OTRS agent. --Moonriddengirl(talk)19:46, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As an additional note, I noticed your talk page was getting a bit long and unwieldy. Since I see you've edited in response to your last notice, I have taken the great liberty of archiving it for you. This is meant to be helpful to you; if this is unwelcome, I do apologize and will happily restore your talk page to the condition it was in. :) None of the contents have been deleted; they are simply now located at User talk:Steven Paul Fisher/Archive 1. We generally do not encourage deletion of talk page contents, but archival is common. I'd encourage you to transfer anything from your talk page that you are finished reading and no longer want or need to that subpage.
Thanks. One of the frustrating things about creating entries for Wikipedia is you never get the same editor and so you get conflicting information and feedback.

Hi - thank you - you are a big help. I had a couple of Sandbox questions - is it really three weeks before a response? I was encouraged to use Sandbox rather than creating a new articles directly, but three weeks is very long. Also - is it ok to post more than one article draft in Sandbox at a time?
I have an unrlated question. I currently have an article in Sandbox awaiting review. Can I start on a draft of another article in Sandbox? I don't see where to start/edit/submit another article.

Hello! Steven Paul Fisher,
I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering or curious about why your article submission was declined please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

The problem is the use of the OTRS tagging on the article draft. That suggests that it is copied from somewhere else. Given that you have a number it means that you have a response. However only an OTRS volunteer can confirm that it is OK and correct. I did not see any OTRS volunteer put it there. However if you can point out to me where the volunteer did place that template on Wikipedia then I could change my mind. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:27, 12 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Robert Earl Roeder, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created. The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk.
If you click on User:Steven Paul Fisher/sandbox now, you are taken to the article; but at the top, just under the title, is a line "(Redirected from User:Steven Paul Fisher/sandbox)". That is a link, and clicking on it will take you back to the actual sandbox page, which you can edit to remove the "redirect" that is there, and add something new.
You don't have to use the same sandbox page for each article: you can make as many WP:User subpages as you like, each starting with "User:Steven Paul Fisher/". A good way is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title, which will make a draft page for you with a link to useful advice and a button to send it for review when it is ready.

OK -I made a new Sandbox page and have a draft on it. One question - I am not ready to submit it yet but I do not see where you do that. I recall seeing a submit tab (or something similar) in my first Sandbox page. Steven Paul Fisher (talk) 18:28, 13 March 2015 (UTC)Steven Paul Fisher[reply]
Put {{User sandbox}} at the top of the page. That will produce a "sandbox" template including a "submit" button for when you are ready. JohnCD (talk)
Hi, Professor Fischer. Thanks for creating this article. I have edited it a bit to add some footnotes to the references.
About creating new pages, maybe I could explain the method I use. You can create a user subpage with the name of the article that you want to create, say User:Steven Paul Fisher/draft MyNewArticle. See User subpages for instructions on how to do this. Basically you search for the name of the page you want to create, and it won't exist yet, so Wikipedia will offer to create it. I use this method because it makes it easier to manage multiple drafts and to delete them after the draft is moved to the main article space. And it leaves my sandbox for experimenting with various things. If you you have multiple subpages off of your user page, adding {{subpages}} to your user page makes them easier to find. You can see my user page for an example of how to do this. – Margin1522 (talk) 19:23, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to, but I'm not a member of the reviewers project yet. But I can stop by from time to time to see if there is anything that needs to be addressed. Generally the reviewers are more concerned with the sources than the formatting, so the best way to make them happy is to give lots of details about the sources that you already have. – Margin1522 (talk) 15:49, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Steven Paul Fisher. Please don't forget to use the code you were given on the talk pages of articles into which you paste copied content. A good bit of Emmit McHenry, for instance, is copied from the alumni page (See [1]). Without that notice, I'm afraid that content like this may be deleted at any time.
Again, the code is on your user page. If you don't understand how to use it, please leave a note at my talk page, and I am happy to explain. I do need to ask you, though, to please place the code on the talk pages of this and any other article you've created by copying content from your employer's website that does not bear this notice already. --Moonriddengirl(talk)21:13, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Steven, regarding Levette J. Davidson, you said that this article text comes from [2] (which I have visited the site and seen where it is available under the "Historical or Biographical Note" section) and that "This is a public domain, open access site with no copyright." That is not correct. Any creative work published in the United States beginning in 1989 is copyrighted, regardless of whether or not it bears a copyright notice. In order to accept this text, we would have to have proven that one of the following is the case: (a) it was published before 1978 with no copyright notice, (b) it was published before 1989 with no copyright notice AND the copyright was not subsequently registered, or (c) it was published before 1964 and the copyright was not renewed. From merely looking at the text on a website, we have no idea if any of those might be true and, accordingly, I have deleted the article. --B (talk) 13:12, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, B . :) Ticket:2015010610010681 applies to this. Mr. Fisher has a template he can put on the talk pages of new articles, but I'm afraid that this particular article predated the delivery of that template. He is the University Historian at the University of Denver. --Moonriddengirl(talk)13:24, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Joy S. Burns requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.du.edu/explore/about/board/index.html#inline-burns. 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 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.

A tag has been placed on Mike Odell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Conflict of interest and promotional editing[edit]
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. All or almost all of your editing seems to consist of creating articles about people, each article full of text which reads like a resumé or self-promotional personal web page, rather than like a dispassionate and objective account in a neutral encyclopaedia.

Hello, Steven Paul Fisher. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of userequire disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
After spending a while copy editing and finding additional references for your article I find that your original text was lifted from thehistorymakers.com. Is there something about copyright you don't understand, or do you just think the rules don't apply to you? Bazj (talk) 13:16, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've been watching with some dismay the difficulties you're encountering around ongoing confusion with copyright especially. Please remember to put the code you were given on the talk page of any article where you transfer content from the University's website. It's on your user page - User:Steven Paul Fisher. All you have to do is copy and paste it to the talk page. Without that, our users have no way of knowing that your use is authorized and will delete it to protect the university from infringement.
I have added it to the talk page of Talk:Joy S. Burns so that should not be deleted as a copyright problem. In this link, you can see the code I placed (I copied it from your userpage). That's all it takes.
If you will list them here, i'll be happy to help. :) I'm afraid I'm working on an actual spree of copyright issues that may consume by volunteer time otherwise. It's not easy to tease them out amidst all the notices above. I would also need the link to the University page where the content appears, unless that's obvious. --Moonriddengirl(talk)14:32, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Steven Paul Fisher You've got the code, you're obviously capable of editing the pages, and their talk pages. Why on earth are you incapable of adding the code yourself? Your lack of care for the wiki, and lack of respect for the contributions of others is exasperating. Bazj (talk) 14:48, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am very very sorry. The other editor had made the generous offer to fix a few of my entries - I will be sure to add the statement on all future entries!

Steven Paul Fisher You asked, then she agreed to help. But I take your comment as a hopeful sign that you have good intentions. If you were to start by re-adding your material to Otto Tschudi without obliterating what's already there, and without implying that sitting on the board at UoD is a bigger career highlight than competing at the Olympics, that would be a great start. Bazj (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This is your only warning; if you create an inappropriate page again, as you did at Clara villarosa, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This is your last warning. From your history it is clear many of your articles are not constructive and your repeated creation of Clara villarosa is against guidelines. Wilbysuffolk (Talk to me!) 19:13, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
