Speedy deletion nomination of Open Kanban[edit]

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 Open Kanban requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://agilelion.com/agile-kanban-cafe/open-kanban. 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. 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 "Click here to 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.

December 2013[edit]

Your addition to Open Kanban has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fiddle Faddle 23:57, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please never confuse open source software with the details written about it on copyright protected web sites. Fiddle Faddle 23:59, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thoughts[edit]

To be a useful net contributor to Wikipedia it is inauspicious to start by promoting your own organisation and breaching your own copyright, so please rewind the clock, here. The article on Kanban will be deleted (0.9 probability) and you can use Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials to register your ownership of the text and can recreate it later. That is easy.

But, and this is important, Wikipedia loathes articles submitted that publicise an organisation, the more so if it is an organisation one owns. Please allow someone else. anyone else, to write about your corporation, product or methodology. But, before you consider that please read User:Timtrent/A good article to make sure you really, truly know what you are doing here. This is important because you are playing in a new pond, and need to know how to do it well and without upsetting yourself.

The text you submitted may serve for your own web site. For Wikipedia it will not. And your product (etc) may not pass the first hurdle, that of notability, which is non negotiable.

Please enjoy Wikipedia, but please avoid your own material as if it were plague-ridden. No-one enjoys the experience of writing articles about their life's work and seeing them ripped apart by other editors. It is best not to look. Write about Agile methodology if you like, just not about your flavour. Fiddle Faddle 00:19, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
