Ways to improve COLLAB Philadelphia Museum of Art

Hi Jeddnyc, thanks for creating COLLAB Philadelphia Museum of Art!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Could you please add references for the article. All material should be cited to high quality, reliable sources so that the article is verifiable. Thanks!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. France3470 (talk) 17:57, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of COLLAB Philadelphia Museum of Art

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 COLLAB Philadelphia Museum of Art, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

  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. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

It is possible for the museum to license its text under the terms of the GNU Free Document Licence and the Creative Commons Attributive Share-alike licence. But it's a really bad idea - both licences are irrevocable licenses that allow anyone to reuse it for any purpose, and institutions that license text this way are almost invariably unhappy when they discover this. They're almost invariably upset too, when they discover that one doesn't "have" a Wikipedia page - Wikipedia has a lot of pages about organisations (and people, etc.), but the subject of a page has no control over the content, anybody can (and will) ruthlessly edit the page to ensure it complies with our policy requiring a neutral point of view. Not only that, but licensing text is almost always a waste anyways - the neutral point of view policy means that text an organisation would write about itself are almost never neutral or encyclopaedic anyhow. If you want to write an article about the museum, I strongly advise you to read Wikipedia:My first article, and follow that advice. WilyD 14:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
