User talk:Ohyea3410

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Andrew Amador article, but 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 1.3 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• Hi again. Please do not post copyrighted material from other sites directly to this one as it's a violation of copyright law and can lead to the loss of your edit privileges. Please don't. Thanks. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, you will be blocked from editing. Posting copyrighted material is a violation of copyright law. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, now you're going the other way. It's OK to write about this guy, but please don't (a) paste copyrighted material or (b) write a single-sentence article. Please take a moment to read WP:YFA. Thanks. PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm glad to help you, believe me. First of all, the subject is certainly notable and worth an article. Since there is certainly no shortage of text on the guy, especially at the KCAL site, you can use that and others as sources of information. Simply write about him in your own words. That's all I was asking. It's just that repeated postings of copyrighted material is taken seriously because of the legal ramifications. That's why I had to be somewhat hard-nosed. Nothing personal. Now that we have a dialogue going, I hope you'll look to me for help. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• You can use it freely...but there's a catch and I don't recommend you do it. You'd have to release the material over on your page to the GNU Free Documentation License. That makes it available for anyone to use for any reason. That pretty much voids your copyright. That's why I do recommend doing something new over on this site in your own words using the other page as a reference. This gives you an article here and on the mirror sites and protects your original copyright. PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:18, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

• • No problem. I had to delete your userpage since it had the deleted content as well. Here's a tip: You can create a "work page" off of the article space. Here's one for you: User:Ohyea3410/Andrew Amador. Just work the article on that page and paste it to Andrew Amador when you're done. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:30, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Excellent. It'll need wikis and some general formatting, but you've more than established his notability. THanks for pointing it out to me. I hope I was of some help to you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:41, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Andrew Amador

A tag has been placed on Andrew Amador 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 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 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. -- Darth Mike  (join the dark side) 04:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

No one person can approve anything on Wikipedia... except maybe Jimbo. Wikipedia is run by concensus. I don't specifically remember your article, but it says I tagged it because you copied and pasted text from another site. If you want to use any information from other sites as a reference point, that's find, but say it in your own words. We cannot except copyrighted material, sorry. Happy editing. -- Darth Mike  (join the dark side) 15:55, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi again. If you replaced any or all of it with the text from the KCAL site, that's still a violation of copyright and that's why it was deleted. The little bit I Googled came back OK, but there may have been other parts which were not. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I simply can't stress this enough: Anything here must be in your own words unless it's public domain, which the KCAL site is not.
