Welcome!

Hello, Sditoka, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lelean Memorial School

A tag has been placed on Lelean Memorial School 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. —Duncan^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 15:42, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Charles Oswald Lelean

A tag has been placed on Charles Oswald Lelean requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

Articles

Please don't add categories that don't already exist, such as Category:Methodist Church of Fiji and Rotuma, to articles. If a category link is red when you save the article, then you have to do one of three things: (a) create it immediately, (b) double check if you just made a typing or wording error and the category already exists at a different name, or (c) remove it from the article. Articles are not allowed to have redlinked categories on them. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 00:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Help request

{{helpme}}

I have tried amending this previously after one of the wikipedia editors had placed a speedy deletion notice against it. I hope that whoever has placed this 'speedy deletion' notice will tell me what exactly is wrong so that I can make the necessary changes to the offending portions of the article. I would just like to say, that, Lelean Memorial School might not matter much to the editor, but it is very important to us who attended it. There are thousands of members of the alumni of Lelean Memorial School living in Fiji and all over the world. Lelean Memorial School has made an indelible mark on Fiji's history and continues to do so today. All the articles and images that I have used were authored by me, Sakiasi Ditoka. They may appear in some form in other websites such as Facebook and Ning but I would just like to state without fear of contradiction, that all those articles were authored by myself.

I hope that clarifies things a bit.

Thanks,

Copyright problem: Lelean Memorial School

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Lelean Memorial School, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=117957349978&topic=16653, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Lelean Memorial School and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Lelean Memorial School, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Lelean Memorial School with a link to where we can find that note.
• If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License and GNU Free Documentation License, and note that you have done so on Talk:Lelean Memorial School. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Lelean Memorial School saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:55, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I have deleted the Facebook article which appears to have been 'copied and pasted' onto wikipedia. In fact I retyped the whole article. It was not copied and pasted. I am the author of the article but it can be verified by many sources.

Sditoka (talk) 00:13, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I'm very much afraid that deleting the original article does not eradicate the copyright concerns, though I can understand why you might think so. Under the U.S. law that governs Wikipedia, copyright is bestowed automatically on creation. Removal from publication does not erase that copyright protection, I'm afraid. Your best recourse at this point is to restore the Facebook page as it was and to log your release to this content there, as instructed above.

Please do note, however, that copyright permission will only take care of one concern with this content. Frequently, content copied from official sites or sites created to honor organizations does not meet other policies and guidelines on Wikipedia, and the content may be modified or removed if community consensus is that this does not. You may wish to review Wikipedia:Your first article for some basic suggestions for development once copyright concerns are addressed. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:32, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Jimione Samisoni

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jimione Samisoni, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.rotuma.net/os/biographies/Jimione_Samisoni/Jimione_Samisoni.htm.

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.)
