Hello, I'm David.moreno72. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to North Lincoln Hospital Heliport because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks. David.moreno72 06:53, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

I added the link to the Hospital on whose site it's on, and who operates it because I saw that many other Helipads (hospital based) have done the same on Wikipedia. See - Category:Hospital heliports in Oregon. I appreciated the comment though, and have left it off the page after I realized you were editing at the same time as me (initially I thought it was a glitch) Thanks for the suggestions.

Remember to sign your posts

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:25, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Samaritan Health Services

Hello, Helios688,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Meatsgains and it's nice to meet you:-)

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged an article that you started, Samaritan Health Services, for deletion, because it's impossible to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, feel free to leave a comment over here and ping me.

Meatsgains^(talk) 03:53, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Mearsgains, I'm in the process of editing the page. I'm an infrequent editor and will need some patience. I think deleting the page within minutes of creation seems a little harsh. Have some patience with me as I get the page right. The whole point of Wikipedia is to add information, which is what I'm trying to do. Thanks Helios688

I fixed the major issues. Please revisit and remove the speedy deletion or give me suggestions on how to improve the page. Thanks. Helios688 (talk) 05:01, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of InterCommunity Health Network

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 InterCommunity Health Network 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 club, society, or group that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Hitro talk 07:31, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Coordinated Care Organization

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 Draft:Coordinated Care Organization 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.oregon.gov/oha/hsd/ohp/pages/coordinated-care-organizations.aspx. 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. bonadea contributions talk 08:11, 18 December 2018 (UTC)

File:SamaritanHealthServices-logo.png

Hi Helios688. A couple of things about this file, particularly the statement "I asked the hospital if they would let me work on the article and they agreed to let me upload the logo to Wikipedia." you added to the file's non-free use rationale.

1. You don't need the copyright holder's permission to upload and use non-free content. All that is really need is for the file to be uploaded and used in accordance with WP:NFCC.
2. A source for the file is needed per WP:F4 and WP:NFCC#4 to verify the logo has been WP:PUBLISHED and it's copyright status. So, if you found the logo online somewhere like here, please add that url to the |source= parameter of the non-free use rationale.
3. Wikipedia editors don't need the hospital's permission to edit the article; in fact, the hospital has no claim of ownership over the article as a whole or any content contained therein. The only thing that matters is whether edits made to the article comply with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. At the same time, if you are editing on behalf of the hospital or asking them to review your edits, then you are going to be considered to have a WP:COI with respect to anything written about the hospital on Wikipedia, and you are going to expected to only edit according to the guidelines laid out in WP:PSCOI.
4. The file cannot be used in Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital per item #17 of WP:NFC#UUI. While Wikipedia generally allows non-free logos to be used for primary identification purposes at the tops of articles about companies, etc. the logo represents, such a thing is only typically considered OK for the primary or parent entity. Many companies and organizations have subsidiary companies or child entities and for those article a logo specific to the child entity itself should be use instead. So, if North Linclin has its own logo/branding, then yo can use that; however, if it doesn't, the default is not to use the parent logo. Just for future reference, each use of a non-free files is required to be provided with a separate specific non-free use rationale per WP:NFCC#10c; so, if you use the same file twice in the same article or once each in different articles, you need to provide a non-free use rationale specific to each of those uses. However, all of this only matter if the logo is licensed as non-free content; public domain or freely licensed logos are not subject to NFCC and this are more easier to use.
5. The file actually might be something which is too simple to be eligible for copyright protection particular since it's country of origin is the United States. If this is the case, then the logo would not need to be treated as non-free content, it's licensing can be changed to {{PD-logo}} and it can be moved to Commons. I think there's a good chance that this file is "PD-logo", but asking for other opinions at WP:MCQ might be a good idea.

-- Marchjuly (talk) 02:33, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your thorough comment.

1. I was following the comment on the "Using/uploading a nonprofit logo" section at the Teahouse. I thought it would be safer to clarify with the logo's owner before publishing. Glad to know.
2. I obtained the logo directly from the Hospital via an email request. Do I state this? How do I accurately document how I sourced it?
3. I am not editing on behalf of, with guidance or payment from, or with review from any person(s). I was very worried about using the logo in the article without permission though. The term "Copyrighted" leads to an overabundance of concern on my part.
4. Did not know this. All of the hospitals in the hospital system use the logo, just like all kaiser hospitals use kaiser logos etc. I have no objection to you removing it from the secondary article if this is the accepted norm.
5. This comment is above my level of experience on Wikipedia. I'll defer to more senior editors if the logo can be moved to Commons. I was also comparing it to OHSU-Logo.png (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Health_%26_Science_University)

Helios688 (talk) 04:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

I'll respond to your comments in the order made.

1. Copyright owner WP:CONSENT is really only necessary if you're uploading the file under a free license such as a Creative Commons license.
2. You can state that in the rationale, but it's probably a good idea to add a url where the logo can be seen to make it clear that this is the SHS's official logo.
3. Thanks for clarifying. Just try and understand that posting comments about being in contact with the subject of an article and asking their permission to edit it might be seen as a WP:APPARENTCOI.
4. Such non-free use is generally not considered acceptable. You'll probably find, if you look hard enough, examples of logos being used in such a way; however, this doesn't mean they should be used in such a way per WP:OTHERIMAGE or WP:NOBODYCOMPLAINED. A non-free file is only required to be used in at least one article per WP:NFCC#7; so, a file can be used in multiple articles or multiple times. It's just that non-free use is typically considered only for exceptional cases, not as a default case; so, relevant policy encourages to try and minimize it as much as possible. At the same time, if you feel another use of the file is justified, you're going to need to provide a non-free use rationale for that particular use to avoid the file from being removed per WP:NFCCE.
5. Whether something is below the threshhold of originality pretty much depends on the coountry of origin. For some countries, such as the UK, that threshold is really low and creatively is defined in a slightly different way than in others like the US. The text in this file is clearly not eligible for copyright protection, but the flame imagery might be. I'll ask about this at WP:MCQ.

File:SamaritanHealthServices-logo.png

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. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.
