Harvey J. Levin

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Harvey J. Levin, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.harveyjlevin.com/bio.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. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Harvey J. Levin

A tag has been placed on Harvey J. Levin 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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:29, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

April 2010

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit. It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. - Sinneed 21:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC) The National Association of Professional Women - contains examples of no-summary edits, making it difficult to see that there is a content dispute.- Sinneed 21:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At The National Association of Professional Women, you have added various private web sites, explaining that they are "public record". This is not the case. Please see wp:RS. Please also see wp:NPOV, as you must not "put words into the mouth" of the BBB, and be sure to explain your removals.- Sinneed 16:48, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

I agree that the above referenced article re: NAPW should reflect neutrality. My concern is that it doesn't. Indeed, it provides no references to support its content other than the Better Business Bureau (BBB) report I inserted, and appears to be an advertisement (and misleading one at that) for the company.

My understanding has been that BBB is a neutral and objective source, and that a clear pattern of grievances against this company has been made public beyond BBB. An F rating from a reputable consumer watchdog organization like BBB seems highly pertinent to any factual account of this company. I have merely tried (perhaps unsuccessfully) to cite BBB's documented findings regarding the company and reference other facts, regardless of how controversial or unfavorable they might appear, and provide broader perspective and balance to the article's overall, idealized and unsupported content.

I agree with the "alert" placed at the top of that article.

AfD nomination of The National Association of Professional Women

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is The National Association of Professional Women. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The National Association of Professional Women. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Long Island Composers Alliance

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 Long Island Composers Alliance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.licamusic.org/?page_id=4. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. S Philbrick (Talk) 13:58, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In accordance with the above, I have subsequently modified the text of the article in an effort to rectify any copyright infringement and have indicated this on the article's "Talk" page as directed. L12ra (talk) 14:34, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Long Island Composers Alliance

The Long Island Composers Alliance article is no longer a copyright violation, but it is likely to be deleted since there are no references to WP:reliable sources that provide detailed coverage (not just a mention) about the organization. The group's own website doesn't count. This page, WP:Notability , may help. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:27, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
