David Goldner

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of David Goldner, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.rimafineart.com/galleries/goldner/DavidGoldnerBio09.doc. 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. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

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) 03:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of David Goldner

A tag has been placed on David Goldner 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 clear 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website 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 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The article David Goldner

Hi there. A few issues. Firstly, with regards to the copyright infringement, we must have confirmed permission for duplication of content. To do that, you need to contact our volunteer response team, OTRS with permission information. They will guide you through the process. That being said, it is generally a bad idea to write an article about yourself or a subject you are affiliated with, as this may cause a conflict of interest. I have, accordingly, tagged the article as likely to be in a COI state. Anyway, please be sure to contact OTRS with the permission information; I have added an "OTRS pending" tag to the article's talk page for the time being, but if they aren't contacted with the information soon, it will likely be deleted as copyright infringement. Thanks, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 04:40, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's now 25 May and there has been no indication of an email being received by OTRS, so I've deleted the article in question. If you can provide evidence of permission to use the text, you may re-create the article or request undeletion at WP:REFUND. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:48, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update regarding copyright concern on David Goldner

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.

Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:13, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
