Speedy deletion of Image:DNANanomachine.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:DNANanomachine.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

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 [[ Talk:Image:DNANanomachine.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. β^_command 17:16, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi there NanoIQP, I wanted, firstly, to welcome you to Wikipedia, but also to let you know that I have some concerns about the way you've been editing, which led me to begin a discussion (available at the link) about the article that seems to be you main focus. Please be aware that university class projects need to follow the same policies as any other contributor; you should also read Wikipedia:School and university projects to see how they can fit into Wikipedia as a whole. In addition, it looks like your account might be shared by multiple real-world people; Wikipedia prohibits this for a number of reasons, including safeguarding your own copyright interest in the material you have added. meta:Role account has more on this subject. Please do take the time to read those policies (It looks like you might want to read Wikipedia:Image use policy, as well, which covers the information we need to have from image uploaders such as yourself), and don't get discouraged simply because I've expressed concerns - Wikipedia values all its new contributors, but we need to be certain that they follow our procedures as well. Feel free to contact me here or on my talk page if you have any further questions. Thanks. — Gavia immer (talk) 19:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Nanotechnology fail-safes

I'll deal with your questions in a moment. But first, I suggest that you and your college professor/instructor read a few of WP's policy and guidance pages: WP:SUP for school and university projects; WP:OWN which explains that you do not own the articles you create on Wikipedia; WP:NOSHARE which deals with multiple users of a single account.

To deal with you questions in order as you asked them on my talk page:

1. I did not delete the images, they were deleted from the article by an automated bot because they did not comply with WP's free use policy -- see all the notices further up this talk page.
2. The survey stuff was deleted by User:Gavia immer because it was unencyclopedic, this is an encyclopedia and not a place for conducting reserach via survey.
3. I Moved the page from Nanotechnology Fail-Safes to Nanotechnology fail-safes to comply with Wikipedia's naming conventions: WP:NAME.

Hope this helps. If you have any further questions please ask at my talk page. – ukexpat (talk) 22:35, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, NanoIQP. First off, I heartily agree with ukexpat's remarks above. Wikipedia is "The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit"; in general, it's expected that all of our articles will be edited by multiple users, because seven years (so far) of experience have taught us that this makes for the best quality articles. In particular, many times a new article will be started by someone who doesn't have our content guidelines down pat - there are quite a few, so this isn't surprising - and a more experienced user (like ukexpat or myself) will edit the article so that it does meet our standards. This is what Wikipedia does.

With regard to the issue of your class being graded on the article, I agree that this can be a problem. However, Wikipedia is not going to impose conditions for editing any article because of your professor's desires; again, please see WP:SUP and especially WP:OWN for much more on this.

On the issue of images: In order to protect the copyright interest of everyone who creates and publishes images - including, but not limited to, Wikipedia contributors; in order to meet our goal of providing a free (as in freedom) encyclopedia; and due to the large number of image contributions we receive that violate someone's legitimate copyright, Wikipedia requires that image contributions be accompanied by some specific information about the image, described a Wikipedia:Image use policy and especially Wikipedia:Image use policy#Adding images. Image contributions that don't meet that policy can be and frequently are deleted at any time. If you wish to contribute images to Wikipedia, please do read the policies I've linked so that your future image uploads don't have the problems that caused the earlier deletions.

I hope this response has been of use to you. If you have any questions, please feel free to post them here or on my userpage. My email address is also available from the "Email this user" link found on the sidebar of my userpage; however, it is probably better to communicate with me on-wiki, since our talk pages are better suited for collaborative communications that email is. Thanks, — Gavia immer (talk) 19:59, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nanotechnology fail-safes

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Nanotechnology fail-safes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

NPOV issues with probable COI issues

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
