Deletion discussion about Primary water

[edit]

Hello, BurrME64,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Primary water should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Primary water .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Lithopsian (talk) 18:43, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello BurrME64, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Primary Water Institute has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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 or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate 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. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:19, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Tanzania Helium Discovery Graphic.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Tanzania Helium Discovery Graphic.jpg, which you've attributed to http://www.sciencechannel.com/tv-shows/science-channel-presents/news/dnews-videos/large-helium-reserve-just-discovered/. 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org, 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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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 Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:21, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's a similar problem with the following uploads:

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:The Falaj System at Bioshere2.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work contained within this image, you will need to specify

  1. the creator of the original work
  2. the copyright status of the original work, usually indicated by adding a licensing tag. 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: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 derivative works, 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 images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:42, 29 October 2016 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:42, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8))

[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Primary water. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 23:07, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The discussion has ended. The article has been removed by a neutral reviewer for NPOV, copyright etc. IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THE HEADER!

Proposed deletion of Primary Water Institute

[edit]

The article Primary Water Institute has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article about an organization with no evidence of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources... with an entire deleted article tacked onto it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Nomination of Primary Water Institute for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Primary Water Institute is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Primary Water Institute until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Kolbasz (talk) 17:09, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Primary Water Institute

[edit]

Hello BurrME64,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Primary Water Institute for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.

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. Lithopsian (talk) 19:19, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice

[edit]

Hi,

  1. Given that you re-posted the whole contents of the "primary water" article in the article on primordial water and the newly created article on the "Primary Water Institute", I assume that you don't really need me to email that content to you any more.
  2. Please note that re-creating articles that have been deleted after a deletion discussion is considered disruptive editing and may lead to you being blocked from editing.
  3. Please also note that rants like the one that you posted on my talk page are absolutely not acceptable. Comment on the issues, not the persons.

Consider this a friendly warning. Continuing the way you are currently going (I also refer to the other warnings on this page) will certainly lead to you being blocked. You have to realize that WP is not going to adapt to you, it's too large for that. Instead, in order to be effective here, you will have to adapt to WP.

Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 19:34, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Look tough guy, my work here is done. I proved to a group (of largely Californians) how biased Wikipedia is towards what it determines is established/mainstream science and away from even well-documented alternative theories. They are in a state of collective shock; I am most certainly am not. It was easily predicted. Do what you will to determine what is "fringe" and what isn't. Delete serious material from a self-professed "people's encyclopedia" because it conflicts with your secular uniformitarianist and Malthusian biases? Good luck hiding in your bunkers! Over and out...BurrME64 (talk) 20:20, 6 November 2016 (UTC)BurrME64[reply]

stop So this is a less friendly warning. Please stop trying to circumvent the AfD decision by copying the whole "primary water" stuff into the Stephan Riess article. Continuing to do so will only results in you getting blocked from editing. --Randykitty (talk) 16:17, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • And I told you before that since you have deleted all material from the "Primary water" article to Magmatic water, certainly some of it belongs under the biography of Stephan Riess. Your inability to recognize this obvious fact demonstrates the extremist ideology of your ilk. Stop deleting this material!BurrME64 (talk) 16:21, 23 November 2016 (UTC)BurrMR64[reply]
