User talk:DaGaffo

I respectfully submit that there is absolutely no copyright infringement here. I, am the rightful owner of this historical location and everything that I have submitted as text in the Vollrath Tavern page here on Wiki is 100% of my own intellectual property as I authored every single word with no plagiarisms. Anything that was not of my own word that I felt informative and a quality reference such as news articles and such written about the Vollrath Tavern was linked to it's original source so to ensure proper credit to the author and the publication, not copied & pasted in the page.

I would like to know how I might be able to get this resolved as soon as possible so to put it to rest and continue to build this page with quality information. Is there a direct Admin that I can converse with so to rectify this situation?

Very Respectfully,

Speedy deletion nomination of Those Young Lions

A tag has been placed on Those Young Lions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Vollrath Tavern

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Vollrath Tavern, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://indianapolis.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/neighborhood_bar/vollrath-tavern-south-indy/user-gallery/645813?photo=2. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

The CorenSearchBot automated message is in error. In this page in question, everything that was text of someone else’s creation was never copied into the main page, instead, the original publication / article was linked to the page with proper reference and completely credit given to the author on the Vollrath Tavern page. Everything authored and displayed on the Vollrath Tavern Wiki page in question is completely of my own intellectual property. I am new to Wiki and wish to abide by all the correct rules so if anyone that views this discussion and would like to give me some sort of pointers as to the proper way to go about things here, I warmly welcome such.

Thank you.

Copyright problem: Vollrath Tavern

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Vollrath Tavern, 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://indianapolis.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/neighborhood_bar/vollrath-tavern-south-indy/user-gallery/645813?photo=2, 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 will 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 allowance license, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Vollrath Tavern and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted ''under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), versions 1.3 or later and Creative Commons Share Alike (CC-BY-SA), versions 3.0 or later, under CC-BY-SA, versions 3.0 or later, or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Vollrath Tavern 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 GFDL and CC-BY-SA, and note that you have done so on Talk:Vollrath Tavern. 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:Vollrath Tavern 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! – Toon 21:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Update regarding copyright concern

Since we do not yet have verification of permission by the processes set out above and sufficient time has passed since the placement of the notice, the article has been deleted for copyright concerns. This deletion is not necessarily permanent. If you have already sent a letter to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) and GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (if you are not the copyright holder or have co-authored the material, release under CC-BY-SA-compatible license alone is sufficient), the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed by the Wikimedia Communications committee. Likewise, if you have not yet sent a letter, you still may (or resend it, if you believe your original may have been lost), and the article will be restored when that letter is received and processed.

As Wikipedia does not require proof of identity on account creation, it is essential that we receive external proof of authorization in order to ensure that we remain compliant with US Copyright law. It is also essential that we verify that copyright holders understand the extent of the release they are authorizing, in that our licenses permit modification and reuse in any forum, even commercial publication, as long as authorship credit is maintained and future copies are compatibly licensed.

Please note that once permission is verified, the material may be evaluated and altered to meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Although we appreciate donations, we cannot guarantee that material donated will be retained.

If you have questions about the verification procedure, please feel free to contact me at my talk page. Alternatively, you might address them at the talk page of the copyright policy, which is generally monitored by volunteers experienced in processing such matters. Thank you.
