July 2019

Hello. Your recent edit to List of rogue security software appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Two of your entries had no articles or refs to show notability and that they ware rogue software, a third is apparently not rogue software, and the fourth redirect to exactly the product you said is should not be confused with Meters (talk) 19:42, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Meters. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 11:46, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

AfC notification: Draft:NavaShield has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:NavaShield. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 14:18, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Are you going to source this draft, or should we delete it? As it is we cannot use any of the current content. See the latest comment int he draft for an explanation. Meters (talk) 05:14, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

I second that question - whilst the wikia page you copy/pasted this from in its entirety has a CC license, meaning it is not a copyright violation, there are no reliable sources, and wikipedia requires WP:Verifiability. It's also, imo, pretty lazy, shoddy and unethical to just lift somebody else's content, even when it is not a copyright violation per se, particularly when no attempt at acknowledgement or attribution is made. -- Begoon 09:18, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

@Begoon:To be fair, there is an acknowledgement at the bottom of the page. "This article incorporates material derived from" doesn't really go so far as to cover a verbatim copy, but it's still there. Meters (talk) 17:46, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Meters, lol, I know there is an acknowledgement at the bottom of the page. I put it there, because FurryGodzilla had not, and we need to attribute the content while it is here, regardless of whether the person adding it does so or not. I also converted the plain text "[1]" they had copy pasted into a "reference" to the YT video, as it was on the wikia "source". The "reference" was not present in the copy/paste either, just the "[1]". -- Begoon 19:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, missed that. Meters (talk) 19:54, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

Begoon And of course I should have realized that no-one who could have written that draft would have known to add that attribution. Meters (talk) 19:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Meters, Yeah, but to be fair to you, that attribution template doesn't exactly stand out as being a template, so you could easily have missed that it wasn't part of the c/paste. Anyway, all that aside, we still have an essentially unreferenced draft and no indication from FurryGodzilla that they intend to go through and source it, or usefully improve it, so what we have really doesn't seem of much use at all. -- Begoon 00:39, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

BegoonAgreed. It was a copy and paste created in an attempt to justify adding the software to List of rogue security software. No harm in leaving the draft for 6 months. I've added a 6 month reminder to check to see if it has been worked on (by anyone) and if so that the unsourced material from a non-reliable source has been removed or properly sourced. The comments in the draft and on its talk page are clear as to what the problems are. No objection if you want to trim it or take action now. Meters (talk) 21:13, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:NavaShield

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 Draft:NavaShield requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NavaShield. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your draft article, Draft:NavaShield

Hello, FurryGodzilla. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "NavaShield".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
