Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (it has information on a book that has not have an article. It gives a link to a reference about the plot of the book. Not anything of the link's words or anything else have been removed.) --Don'tletthepigeonfan (talk) 18:24, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Yes, but you copied the words from Barnes and Noble's web-site. That is a copyright violation. Wikipedia cannot host copyright material anywhere, not even in user pages or sandboxes. Please read Wikipedia:Copy-paste for the reasons why you must not copy material into Wikipedia. I know you gave a reference to the source site, but that is not enough to prevent a breach of copyright except for short quotations.
Below I will give you a Welcome message with some more links to useful advice. JohnCD (talk) 18:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yes, you can write it in your own words, but
  • Take care to make it quite different - just altering a few words is not enough.
  • Don't do it on your user page - that is for you to say a little about yourself and your Wikipedia activities, if you like. Do it in a "sandbox" page at User:Don'tletthepigeonfan/sandbox.
  • Read WP:Your first article for advice, and if you are interested in writing about books read WP:WAF.
