Speedy deletion nomination of Gavril Dan Claudiu

A tag has been placed on Gavril Dan Claudiu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

April 2024

Hello, I'm REDACTED403. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Sebastian Rocca seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -REDACTED403 (talk) 13:17, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Dcgavril! Your additions to Sebastian Rocca have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 16:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello @Diannaa

Thank you for your help and work done on Wikipedia, but it seems that you are saying that I've copied content from other sites with copyrighted content, which is not the case at all especially that the text has been changed on the fly after it has been reverted by @REDACTED403.

As you've deleted the history of changes, I can't clearly see all the changes done by you as the previous text was written by me directly in Wikipedia so it was not copied, but if you are speaking about the links I've added in the content, they were only added to be able to fact check what was said in the text, as the links go to reputable publications.

I don't have any interest in promoting the person found in this biography page and I'm not getting paid to do the changes, he just asked me to do it because it is way too hard for a non developer to update couple of lines of text on Wikipedia without creating a mess(just think about how you change the photo of that person...

Anyway, I will not do any other changes to this page as it's no point in losing the time.

Wish you a great day! Dcgavril (talk) 09:17, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Some of the content you repeatedly added was a match for materian found in this article, which was published in 2022. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia.

If you personally are in contact with the subject of the article, you have a conflict of interest, whether you are getting paid or not. Editing articles where you have a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged. — Diannaa (talk) 13:01, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out that I actually didn't copy copyrighted content, as that text you are mentioning(from 2022) is already a citation from the subject's foundation site(that got updated in the meantime with newer key values for 2024) that is publicly available information found even in the PDFs files I had attached from the state. Now I can rest assured that I haven't committed any felony by updating a simple Wikipedia article.

Anyway, thank you for taking the time to deal with this. Dcgavril (talk) 13:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

"Publicly available" is not the same thing as "public domain". Under current copyright law, literary works are subject to copyright whether they are tagged as such or not. No registration is required, and no copyright notice is required. So please always assume that all material you find online is copyright, and don't copy it here, even if the source website has been updated or changed in the meantime. — Diannaa (talk) 13:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
