Speedy deletion nomination of Lorraine leckie
edit
A tag has been placed on Lorraine leckie 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 clear 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) 04:10, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you.
While the sources you provided do appear valid, there remains the problem of conflict of interest. It is highly unadvisable that people with strong connections to the subject write or edit those articles as they often lead to problems with point of view and article ownership. caknuck ° needs to be running more often 14:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
- I cannot repost the version of the article that was deleted because it was copied word-for-word from another Website. Because you had made an assertion of copyright protection, that makes the text incompatible with Wikipedia's license. In addition, the tone of the article was excessively promotional, and was not suitable for the project.
- If you wish to attempt to compose a new article, then go ahead, but make sure you conform to all of the relevant policies, particularly the ones I have already cited: WP:BAND and WP:COI. I will caution you that other editors and admins likely will have concerns about your conflict of interest. caknuck ° needs to be running more often 01:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Lorraine Leckie performing with her "Demons".jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading File:Lorraine Leckie performing with her "Demons".jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:15, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
