Speedy deletion nomination of Sailor (web framework)
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sailor (web framework) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://sailorproject.org/main/about. 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 or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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. — Diannaa (talk) 23:23, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Rnikhil275. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Sailor (web framework), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 05:16, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Okay. This is kind of too complicated for me and I don't want to go through a lengthy article. There is no copyright infringement. Sailor(web framework) is a open source framework. Anyone can contribute code to it. By anybody, I mean anyone on the internet can contribute code to it. The project is hosted on GitHub. I stumbled upon the project on GitHub when I was doing similar work. Now, I wanted to know more about the framework. I did a web search and I was surprised to NOT find a Wikipedia page for it. Popular ones like Django, RoR had wiki pages. So, I created one. Now, tell me How can someone with no knowledge of existence of a framework, not knowing the internals of the framework write a Wikipedia page about it ? Just because I contribute code to it does not mean there is a conflict of interest. I contribute code to a number of other projects but I don't make Wikipedia pages for all of them. I don't get paid for writing a Wikipedia article and I made the web page so that beginners can find all relevant info in one place. It's as simple as that. I hope you see my point and undo the deletion of the article.
- Hi. I haven't read the article yet. You say there's no copyright infringement: from where was the article copied? Thanks, OnionRing (talk) 04:46, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Okay. The article was not exactly fully copied from anywhere. I took parts from the Ror(Ruby on Rails) page and changed it accordingly. I also took parts from the homepage of the web framework. Yes, there might be similar wordings between the Wikipedia page I wrote and the about section of the home website but that is because even that is also based on web framework pages from Wikipedia :) I hope you understand the situation and do the needful. Thank You
