Speedy deletion nomination of Daniel McGillivray Brown

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 Daniel McGillivray Brown 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsbm.2018.0008. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 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.

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 deleted 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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hello, CalShoosmith

Thank you for creating John Thomas Finch.

User:Blythwood, while examining this page as a part of our page curation process, had the following comments:

I've replaced the original text with a new text, added an extra source, and added some standard features for an article on a scientist: an authority control tag linking to their work on library catalogues, a defaultsort tag so he appears indexed under 'F' for 'Finch' not 'J' for 'John' and basic information like places he worked at. I'm also adding some relevant categories, and will look at backlinking him from articles featuring papers he wrote if I have time. Unless you have authorisation from at least the Royal Society and perhaps also the article's authors (this point is legally complicated as it depends on their contract, and you might need to put in a template indicating use of borrowed text–contact me if you need further info on this point) we can't simply use a copyrighted text. If drafting an article it's really best to type it out totally separately from the source, rather than taking a copyrighted document and editing it to make a Wikipedia article–you always end up with an article that copies the sequencing and shadows the phrasing of the copyrighted text, as discussed e.g. here, and often has incoherency and grammar mistakes owing to the editing. Hope that all makes sense!

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Blythwood}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .

• Forgot to do this before–I also backlinked him from the John Finch disambiguation page, the Rosalind Franklin article and a couple of others too where he's mentioned. 08:50, 3 January 2020 (UTC)

advice

As one of the editors here who work frequently on articles on notable academic researchers, I really hope you will very soon expand the articles on the new FRS It's much more helpful to do that than to leave them hoping other people will work on them. DGG ( talk ) 01:23, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi CalShoosmith! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Sydney Leach moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Sydney Leach, 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.

Maliner (talk) 13:43, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

@Maliner: This was a very bad draftification. McLachlan obviously passes WP:PROF#C3, and the article as written was adequately sourced for its content. Your invocation of the general notability guideline is flat-out incorrect: this sort of topic is subject to WP:PROF, not WP:GNG. I have restored the article to mainspace. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:37, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Ways to improve Paul Harry Roberts

Hello, CalShoosmith,

Thank you for creating Paul Harry Roberts.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

He certainly meets notability, but the format of the page is not very good. Please look at other FRS or similar and adjust the format.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Ldm1954}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.
