Proposed deletion of Printz Board Credits

Hello, Kwalter123. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Printz Board Credits, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 18:33, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Please don't

Hey, Kwalter, your most recent edits to Printz Board Credits really aren't acceptable; please don't repeat them. You see, the material you're copying and pasting into Wikipedia constitutes a copyright infringement, as on this page, copyright is claimed by Beets and Produce with all rights reserved. The text of Wikipedia is required to be available under what's called the CC-BY-SA license, which means that, with appropriate attribution, the text of an article can be modified and reused for any purpose as long as the modification is also released under the CC-BY-SA license. So, this requires that any text we reuse be licensed under a compatible license, and this text has not been released as such. So, to copy it into a Wikipedia article is a copyright infringement. (Note that it's not enough to just get the company's permission to use the text on Wikipedia; they have to actually release the text under those terms.) Copyright violations are one of the few things that Wikipedia itself can get into legal trouble for, so it's necessary for us to be cautious about it.

Even if the copyright situation was resolved, though, the material is too spammy for use in Wikipedia. It's written from a purely promotional point of view, which is incompatible with the neutral point of view that's required in Wikipedia articles. So it's really just not good, for the article or for Wikipedia, and it won't help save your article for deletion (quite the opposite, in fact). If you have any questions about this stuff, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 05:33, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Printz Board Credits. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. In addition to being blatantly promotional, your additions continue to be obvious copyright violations. Please stop adding them. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 03:47, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Printz Board Credits, you may be blocked from editing. Even if you did write it (which would need to be proved anyway), the copyright has been claimed by the company, not a person. And even if it's not a copyright violation, note the text of this warning; the content is too promotional in tone for Wikipedia, regardless of its copyright status.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Printz doing his thing.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Printz doing his thing.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your addition 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 article 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. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:23, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate your desire to add an article on Printz Board to Wikipedia - he appears to meet the requiremnst for inclusion as a notable musician, and we should almost certainly have a page on him here. However, the approach you are taking is not the way to go about it. Here are some things you should read before editing again:

• Copyright violations. Copying from another website is an absolute no-no. Even if you wrote the original text yourself, we have no way of verifying that. Do not copy/paste content into Wikipedia from an external site again; I will revoke your editing privileges if you persist.
• Non-neutral language. Wikipedia strives to maintain an impartial tone - the text you have been adding is heavily slanted, and reads like a testimonial.
• Following on from that, Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. We do not advertise - we relate verifiable information.
• Reliable sources. Wikipedia's content must be verified by reliable, independent sources - that means no blogs, fansites etc. In order to show notability, significant coverage is also required - passing mentions or discographies are not helpful.
• Conflicts of interest. Since it appears that you work for Printz Board, you are strongly discouraged from editing articles about him or related topics. If you want to make changes to his article, you should propose them on the article talkpage rather than adding them directly.

I hope this information is helpful to you. I'm not trying to be aggressive or belligerent here, but if you cannot edit co-operatively and in line with the policies and guidelines here, then you will simply be prevented from editing altogether. If you need a hand at any point, do feel free to contact me on my talkpage. Regards, Yunshui 雲‍水 13:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
