Kulveer ranger[edit]

You have deleted the above page, under 'blatant copyright ingringement', yet the data was taken from a press release, the sole purpose of which is to provide information to journalists/writers for publication free from copyright.

Peteclapp (talk) 19:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC) Peteclapp[reply]

Press releases are copyrighted just as much as any other text. Feel free to rewrite it in your own words. Stifle (talk) 19:30, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, are you able to point me in the direction of one case of copyright infringement relating to a press release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peteclapp (talk • contribs) 19:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't know. All I know is that content on Wikipedia must be available under the GFDL, and that press release wasn't. Stifle (talk) 19:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, not all content in Wikipedia has to be under the GFDL terms. Photos, logos, screenshots, and even fair use of copyright material is allowed from time to time... as shown in Wikipedia:Copyrights#Using copyrighted work from others and Wikipedia:Non-free content. As an administrator, Stifle should know that.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. I should have said "text" rather than "content". The point of my message remains unchanged. Stifle (talk) 21:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Dubai Hurricanes RFC (March 25)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Primefac was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the notability implied in this draft is from their association with other famous entities, but notability is NOTINHERITED. The references all come from sources directly connected to the Hurricanes. Please add additional independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail. These should be more than just game announcements and tournament listings; coverage needs to be specifically about the team.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dubai Hurricanes RFC and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
