Copyright issue with KansasCali

Hello. Concerning your contribution, KansasCali, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from http://rock.cjonline.com/bands/band.php?band=431. As a copyright violation, KansasCali appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. KansasCali has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:KansasCali. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at KansasCali, after describing the release on the talk page. However, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Jamoche 20:52, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I strongly reccomend that you cease editing the article KansasCali for it's own good. Your going against WP:AUTO WP:COI and WP:NOT#WEBSPACE could be what nails the coffin shut for the article, which might actually have some merit. -- feb^talk 02:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Again, if you do not follow WP:AUTO and WP:COI, at LEAST follow WP:NPOV. I HIGHLY reccomend that you DO NOT edit that page, as that is actually worsining your odds. -- feb^talk 03:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! The information is owned by me, part of the group is from KANSAS and I personally wrote the information that appears on the other site is just apart of the groups profile on that site, how is there copyright infringement when I created that profile and wrote that information? THEY DIDN'T WRITE THAT, How is it copyright violation when even putting the information on here I still changed it up inserting all the proper information that was deleted without you reading it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danovelist (talk • contribs)

Regardless of the copyright issues (your band's website should contain a release of such info under the GFDL to prove such), you are still in violation of WP:AUTO WP:COI#Self-promotion WP:NOT#WEBSPACE. If you wish for the page to continued existance, I again reccomend that you cease editing it at once, calm down, and write your claims for your hangon template in the talk page. In addition, if you're the one who wrote it, it might be violation of WP:OR. You seem to have quite the portfolio, and have apperently appeared on some movie soundtracks, the best thing you can do for your page is defend it on the talk page, but DO NOT edit the main page. The speedy deletion might be reviewed and tossed out if you do not add WP:NPOV statements and if you stop violating the above wikipedia policies. -- feb^talk 04:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

After reading all your codes... I still don't understand the violation, everything that has been stated in what I wrote are ALL VERIFIABLE FACTS. WP:NOT#WEBSPACE <-- The information I am sharing is not being used for self promotion, this is factual information for the readers that could be researched and validated. I have known WP to be a place where you can find information out about anything, people, places, etc... WP:AUTO <--- Explain this one, because after reading it and re-reading it I still didn't get it, because the information that was submitted is VERIFIABLE FACTUAL ACCURACY and Very Neutral because all that was written in my case was facts. WP:COI#Self-promotion <---- How is it self promotion when your an informative site. If your job is to put the interests of the encyclopedia first how does this apply to what I wrote when all I wrote was information based on true facts. I had no "advertising links, personal website links in articles, personal or semi-personal photos, or any other material that appears to promote the private or commercial interests" what was written definately had clairty and quality so how is that a violation? WP:OR <---"refer to material that has not been published by a reliable source." how so... when I am the reliable source with a NPOV just making sure the readers have the proper information infront of them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danovelist (talk • contribs)

In order: WP:NOT#WEBSPACE is in regards to your self-promotion, which i'll get to later WP:AUTO is since wikipedia recommends against editing pages which are about you, or concern you , which includes WP:COI you are involved with KansasCali, and thus it is a conflict of interest for you to both edit a wikipedia article about the band and be in it, WP:COI#self-promotion because your text was blatently NPOV in promoting your music WP:OR is exactly what is says. Despite what you might think, you ARE NOT a reliable source, and nor are your works published.Original Research basically means that what you say can be backed up by something other than your own word or sources created by yourself. This is also where WP:AUTO comes in, in that people can not be trusted to give accurate information about themselves, and WP:COI in that people can not be trusted to give unbiased information about themselves.

It is very clear how you are violating these, even though i'm sure you are doing it with the best of intentions. While I wish the best of luck to you and your band, especially since I live in kansas myself, your article, or at least your editing of an article about yourself, is inappropriate for wikipedia. I reccomend you keep your stuff to your personal websites and i'm sure that a fan will create a page about you without needing to say anything, if you're truly notable. -- feb^talk 06:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Crash.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
