Speedy deletion nomination of File:HSBC new logo.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:HSBC new logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Blurred Lines 18:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Manikganj Govt. High School, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://wikimapia.org/12494869/Manikganj-Govt-High-School.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 15:29, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Manikganj Govt. High School
editHello Saha7,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Manikganj Govt. High School for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
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.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Knyzna1 (talk) 15:48, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:13th Convocation of EWU.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:13th Convocation of EWU.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 [email protected], 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 [email protected].
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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:26, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

editHello Saha7, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:05, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Hello, User:Saha7.
- The tag that the bot placed on the article explained to you that the content was going to be removed unless you were able to provide evidence that it isn't a copyright problem. ("If substantial content is duplicated, unless evidence is provided to the contrary (e.g. evidence of permission to use this content under terms consistent with the Wikimedia Terms of Use or public domain status; see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials), editors will assume that this text is a copyright violation, and will soon delete the copy.") It told you the page to look at if you were the copyright owner: "If you hold the copyright to this text and permit its use under the terms consistent with Wikipedia's policies, please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions on how to verify the licensing."
- Unfortunately, removing the note and doing nothing doesn't mean the content won't be reviewed, as the bot cautioned you, and that duplicated content won't be removed. :/ It must be - this is one of our core policies.
- Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, which I also mentioned above, talks about several processes for verifying that you are the copyright owner, but unfortunately it's not likely to be very helpful with Wikimapia :/ I'm happy to see if I can help you. The site is not compatibly licensed, and I can't figure out how any edits made to it now can be verified to have come from the same person who placed the original text. Is there a "history" function on Wikimapia that you know of similar to the one on Wikipedia? Do you have a Wikimapia "user account" that can connect you to the original placement of that text? If we can't connect you to the original text, then the only choice would be to write new text, I'm afraid. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:40, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- I did not feel like your tone was rude; I hope it didn't sound like I did. But I'm afraid that I can't put the content back unless we prove that you wrote it. This is not personal; it isn't that I don't believe you. If I want to copy stop over from another website, I have to follow those same rules. It's a legal matter, and legal matters have specific processes. :)
- As I said above, this may be hard to do with Wikimapia and if you don't know if there is a "history" function, I'm not sure if it's possible at all. You may have to write it again in your own language. Ordinarily, I am happy to help, but I can't easily do this when I don't have a reliable source to look at.
- But all this does bring up another problem - you cited the Wikimapia page as a source in your article. If Wikimapia is a website that people from the public can change, it can't be a source of information. It doesn't meet our verifiability policy. (See also how to identify a reliable source.) If you wrote the information on Wikimapia, where did you get it? That's what you should cite. If the source you got it from isn't reliable, it shouldn't be included in Wikipedia at all. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:33, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:East West University Logo.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:East West University Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:14, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
