Speedy deletion nomination of RTOC - Russian True Orthodox Church

edit
 

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 RTOC - Russian True Orthodox Church 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 https://trueorthodox.eu/a-short-history-of-the-rtoc/. 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. power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:07, 6 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Welcome!

Hello, Attila1988, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello Jimfbleak,

I have removed made again the page and removed the 'History' part (I think that was the problem you meant), this page also egsist in Russian. Would it be ok to post what is written on the Russian page translated to English?

Hi @Attila1988. I will ping @Jimfbleak, as you wish to get an answer from them. Also, in terms of translating a page from Russian Wikipedia to English Wikipedia - you should read Wikipedia:Translation. Please pay attention to the copyright requirements explained at this link: WP:TFOLWP. If you need help with translating - you may wish to ask the WikiProject Intertranswiki at their talk page, here. Hopefully this helped, but if it didn't you might want to ask another question at the Help desk. Seagull123 Φ 19:06, 9 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, @Seagull123:. @Attila1988:, I'll reply in detail later, but for the moment, I note that you have not replied to my COI comments above. As an employee of the church you must make the paid editor declaration on your user page as instructed, or I will block you as an undeclared paid editor Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:39, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

But do I need to do that even if I don't get paid in reality? Attila1988 (talk) 09:07, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Our priests don't even get paid for their services especially not for contributing to Wikipedia... Attila1988 (talk) 09:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

As you have already been told, I won't know you have posted here unless you ping me {{ping|Jimfbleak}} Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. If you are not paid, you don't need to declare as a paid editor, but you should put the following on the article talk page. {(Connected contributor|User1=Attila1988 |U1-EH=yes |U1-declared=yes |U1-otherlinks=COI declared on talk page}} That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. Most of your references were connected to the organisation, and were not independent third-party sources.
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability. You just tell us about doctrine and a bit of history, but we know nothing that shows notability. How many priests? worshippers? How is the church funded
  • You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
  • There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. I've deleted your second attempt, it's still more than 60% copied. You must write in your own words.

Note that Russian wikipedia is independent of en-wiki, and its rules on referencing, notability and copyright may well be different from those that apply here. Simply transalting the Russian article won't be enough

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:10, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Jimfbleak:

Dear Jim,

I have put on the article talk page what you asked me about connected contributor and I refrased my writings so they don't look promotional. I also rewritten the History part so it cannot be a copy right i frigment. Please let me know if there is anything else to do. Attila1988 (talk) 12:41, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

I made a minor error in the COI code I gave you, which I've fixed. The article name is unsatisfactory, but I see on the talk page that's being addressed. It's still mainly sourced to the organisation, but I'll leave that to others to worry about Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:36, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Jimfbleak:

Thank you Jim, I will try to add other sources later on.
