Schmoovy Schmoov

Speedy deletion Contest

Everything on my article was written by me. I did copy the biography information to my personal website which is Schmoovyschmoov.com and that is the only place tht any of this information should appear in the same wording. Again, this information was created and typed my me, Edward Earl Cook a.k.a. Schmoovy Schmoov. Please do not delete my page.

I Need To Know How To Post My User Page To The Pubilc

Hello, I am Edward Earl Cook and I have the page Schmoovy Schmoov that I have been waiting for months for it to be viewed by the public. I created it and I don't understand how to get it to not only be visible by me. Please advise. Thanks.

Speedy deletion of Schmoovy Schmoov

A tag has been placed on Schmoovy Schmoov 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 blatant 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 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. andy (talk) 23:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Self-advertisement

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:43, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Schmoovy Schmoov Improper Speedy Deletion

I wish to challenge the deletion of a page that you deleted.

• The page title is Schmoovy Schmoov.
• I have read the reason for deleting the page and I feel it was incorrect because I am Edward Cook of the group Digital Underground aka Schmoovy Schmoov whose page you Speedy Deleted. I need to make clear that the information was typed from my head some time before I posted a version of it to the page that was deleted. I lived it and then I documented some of the activites in text for publishing to the Wikipedia site. Beyond this I am at a loss as to why this activty could be a correct or truthful reason to delete the article. I for some time did not know how to get the article posted from a User Article to a Active Wiki article. Someone helped me with that and shortly after you deleted my info. What do you recommend I do. If anything someone has found my information and used it for their site and copywrite infringed on my information. It's the truth and I wait your recommendation.
• The following sources back up my claim:
  1. Digital Underground CD Writers Credits
  2. Screen Actors Guild
  3. Tupac Documentaries (Photos w/My Face)
  4. Feature Film - Nothing But Trouble
  5. Universal Music Group Publishing
  6. ASCAP Member

Please consider restoring this article. Schmoovy Schmoov (talk) 13:56, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I did not delete this page; please contact User:Fuhghettaboutit who actually deleted the page. You may want to provide proof that the text is released under the GFDL, which could be a note on the website www.schmoovyschmoov.com or an email sent from that domain to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Schmoovy Wiki.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Schmoovy Wiki.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 05:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
