This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Peter S.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

Speedy deletion of Peter S. Kim
edit
A tag has been placed on Peter S. Kim 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Peter S. Kim, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:22, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Copyright
editYou may not copy text from another website to Wikipedia. Wikipedia operates under a very restrictive interpretation of "public domain", so unless the source page explicitly says it's licensed under the GFDL, it's not acceptable. Please refer to WP:COPYRIGHT for all the extensive technicalities. Acroterion (talk) 23:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Stop
edit
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as Peter S. Kim, you will be blocked from editing. Goodvac (talk) 23:19, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
The first creation of this page on Wikipedia was at 19:51 today. There are no previous versions of Peter S. Kim. Unless the "out of date" MIT page was created today, it's a copyright violation. There is no prejudice to creating a wholly new, re-written article, but we do not permit copies of webpages. MIT webpages are copyrighted and are not public domain. The copyright violation has been deleted, and you have been blocked for 48 hours due to your persistent use of copyrighted material. Please use the time to review our submission requirements.

Request reason:
I am the creator of the content in question and therefore there is no copyright infringement. Please, what will it take to get you to understand that. All I was trying to do with the additional edits is to add references to make the bio more useful. Thnank you.
Decline reason:
As the creator of the content on the external website, you need to be aware of two of our policies in particular, Copyrights and Conflict of Interest. There are specific instructions for releasing the copyright on external content before it can be included here. —Travistalk 13:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Request reason:
No, no, you have it all wrong: I didn't put the content on the MIT Seminar Site, we just gave it to them in 2007 to do as they wanted to promote a seminar -- this is common practice and happens all the time; it's a dead page now anyway. The wikipedia page is the official source of Dr. Kim's bio and needs to stay intact so others can add to it in the spirit of wikipedia. Again, please take a look and the content and circumstances. Thank you.
Decline reason:
Our copyright practices are admittedly a little wacky but ... simply being the creator of the content in question does not make it OK for that person to put it on Wikipedia, not by our policies. MIT is the publisher of first instance here, and legally they own the copyright to the page it was first published on regardless of who wrote it, as long as it remains on their server and publicly viewable. For the text in question to be OK for us as is, it needs to be published under the GNU Free Documentation License at the point of first publication. I suggest you either persuade MIT to relicense that page or (and frankly, this would be easier) write a new bio using that page as the source once the block expires (and please try to keep in mind that we do not want anyone to consider us the "official" source for anything). — Daniel Case (talk) 14:01, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

- Comment You and the anonymous IP user who continually reintroduced this material were given MANY warnings about the copyright violation. Rather than follow the Wikipedia policy and place a {{hangon}} tag, with an attempt to explain the copyright issues, you simply removed the {{db-copyvio}} tag with no explanation. Following procedure rather than blatantly ignoring it is always the best path. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:55, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Further comment As Daniel Case observes, a rewritten bio would be the simplest alternative rather than insisting on using a verbatim copy. I realize that academic bios are circulated widely and copied all over the place, but due to the free-content nature of Wikipedia, the anonymous nature of the editing process, and the fact that content may be freely re-used under a very different kind of copyright agreement than prevails in other media, our requirements and obligations concerning copyright infringement are substantially more stringent that you may realize. Please also read and understand our policies on conflict of interest. Acroterion (talk) 14:17, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
