This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of John Gittinger, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.pasf.org/gitt.htm. 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.

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.

Speedy deletion of John Gittinger

[edit]

A tag has been placed on John Gittinger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

A tag has been placed on John Gittinger, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Gittinger and sources

[edit]

The problem is not only Gittinger and sources, but that you are using his article and the other to basically promote the foundation. That is simply not allowed. You have been given a final warning. If you post these articles again, you will be blocked. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 18:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Realkyhick, I am intentionally trying not to get involved in this, but I do want to point out that Bdnet72 is new to Wikipedia and had no intentions of using Wikipedia for spam or self promotion. I often edit articles for spam or promotion myself (see for example Business_Process_Outsourcing_in_Pakistan), and understand how bad spam can get nowadays and understand why we have the level of aggression seen here, but in this case I think you're scaring off a newcomer. The history on this page shows a new page going to speedy deletion and intentions from two other Wikipedians to block Bdnet72's account from future editis in under an hour.

For my part, I wish I had been told that the article seemed to be promoting. I could have removed all references to the foundation and still had a reasonable article for Wikipedia users who ran across the Personality Assessment System or John Gittinger in articles or books and wondered what it was. As a new writer, it was a bit frustrating to have the article deleted so fast that I could not even edit the article to remove the objections. Bdnet72 (talk) 21:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps, but I would still need to be convinced that he meets notability standards, and that you have independent, reliable sources to verify the facts of the article - not just stuff from your society, unless you have the original sources from whence that information came. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
