Speedy deletion nomination of Theodora Bloom

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 Theodora Bloom 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://www.sib.swiss/events/biocuration2016/keynote-speakers. 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.

Hello, DavidAllen,TheBMJ. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GnomeSweetGnome (talk) 15:36, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Peter Ashman

Hello, DavidAllen,TheBMJ. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Peter Ashman, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Peter Ashman to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks,

GMG^talk 15:58, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

This was a promotional bio, appropriate to your web site. WP is an encyclopedia , and the style is different--different to the extent that if it looks like it would work as a web page, it is unacceptably promotional here. Refer to people by their Last name, not their first name. Don't use unsourced superlatives. Don't how great the journal is when you're discussing the publisher or editor--the journal has its own article. So does the trade association. Don't use PR jargon, e.g. "led the growth of its journals portfolio". Never write without giving explicit sources. Don;t use a close paraphrase of your own web site, or take phrases from it to cut and paste into an article. Ashman is important and deserves an article. If I had the time, I'd write it.

But as it stood, I had to delete it for being fundamentally promotional,and because it was essentially a copybio. DGG ( talk ) 05:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

I am proposing to have another go at creating a wikipedia page for Peter Ashman using the copy below. I will also note this fact on DGG and GreenMeansGo talk pages.

Peter Ashman (born 13 October, 1960) is a business leader in the Science Technical and Medical (STM) publishing sector. He is currently Chief Executive Officer of BMJ, healthcare knowledge provider and publisher of the weekly peer-reviewed medical journal, The BMJ.

Education Ashman studied at Spencer Park, London, 1971-77 Career Ashman's career in scholarly publishing has focused on science and medicine for nearly three decades. It has comprised leadership positions in diverse functions including sales, marketing, publishing and general management at a number of the most prestigious academic publishers in the world. From 1991, Ashman worked with the Current Science Group In London, before moving to the US as Vice President of The Lancet. In 2001, Ashman joined Nature Publishing Group as Publishing Director, where he launched and managed many high impact, scientific and medical journals.

Ashman joined BMJ in 2007 as Publishing Director, where he was initially responsible for a portolio of 20 scholarly, specialist journals which has since grown to over 70, including GUT, Heart and Thorax. In 2015, Ashman was appointed Director of Learning and Publishing, expanding his responsibilities to include BMJ Learning and OnExamination in addition to the Journals portfolio and BMJ Careers. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the company in January 2017. Other Peter has been Chairman of Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers - the largest international association for scholarly and professional publishers since January 2015.

He also served on the Board of the STM Association, (the leading global trade association for academic and professional publishers with 145 members in 21 countries), from 2009-2014.

From 2014-2017, Peter was Trustee of MedFash, an independent charity dedicated to quality in HIV and sexual healthcare.

Disclosure of employment

Hello DavidAllen,TheBMJ. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:DavidAllen,TheBMJ. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=DavidAllen,TheBMJ|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:44, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

I know this may seem a little bureaucratic, because in your case the username does make it self-evidencet. But at the moment, such is the rule.

Much more important, is not to write in the manner of a press release. Anyone may edit, if what they produce is suitable for an encyclopedia. I'm giving you a formal warning. DGG ( talk ) 05:06, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

December 2017

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Contributions to The BMJ violate WP:NOR

Hello David,

This is a friendly heads-up that your recent contributions to The BMJ are technically in violation of Wikipedia:No original research.

Take care.--Jay D'Easy (talk) 16:21, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello Jay, Just saw this yesterday. I THINK the only change I made was to update the Impact Factor of The BMJ in two places on this page. Is that the change you were referring to? Not sure tho' how that squares with the 'No original research' criterion. What am I missing here? Best, David

File:Recent front cover of The BMJ.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:27, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
