Speedy deletion nomination of Konstantin Lifschitz
editA tag has been placed on Konstantin Lifschitz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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.
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), 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. ttonyb (talk) 03:38, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
non-commercial or educational use
editHello Kathy,
the problem with your picture upload was the non-commercial or educational use. Items donated to Wikipedia must be free for all uses including commercial and must also allow derivatives. If you are willing to have a license like CC-BY-SA-3.0 you can have your picture here. Do you want to do this? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. I can't believe you recreated the article after it had been deleted for blatant copyright infringement. If you do it again, you will be blocked. No more warnings.

Konstantin Lifschitz
editI received your e-mail. Firstly, information told to you from Konstantin Lifschitz and his? mother would almost definitely be WP:Original research and cannot be directly used on wikipedia. If you write an article on him, using this information, you can try getting it published in a reliable source like a well known and reputable news paper. If you do, then we may be able to use that information. However you should not cite your own article so if you do do this, it's unlikely you'll be writing the article on Konstantin Lifschitz on wikipedia. A second and more important point is that even if you don't use this original research, you still don't seem to have demonstrated WP:Notability for Konstantin Lifschitz. You mentioned a bunch of websites all copying the same info (I'm not really sure where this info comes from). If that is all you have then notability is almost definitely not met. Note that Konstantin Lifschitz's personal website in no way demonstrates notability, and as a primary source should be used with care even if notability is demonstrated, see WP:BLP. BTW, foreign language WP:Reliable sources are acceptable if there is a lack of English language ones. Just to be clear, I included the links above and in my previous post for a reason. I strongly suggest you read them since what you've said so far suggests you may not really understand these important policies. If you don't want your article to be deleted again, it's important you do understand them. Nil Einne (talk) 14:04, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
