Hashivenu edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Hashivenu, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.hashivenu.org/core_values.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.

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. CorenSearchBot 00:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


A tag has been placed on Rabbenu Blog: requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pilotboi / talk / contribs 01:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Copyright status of Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council edit

Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council. For legal reasons, we will delete copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites (http://www.ourrabbis.org/main/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/ in this case) or from printed material.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

  • If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
  • If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council with a link to where we can find that note;
  • If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article's talk page. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at Talk:Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council with a link to the details.

Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own original words to avoid any copyright infringement. Thank you. P4k 02:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply


Re: edit

If the quotation was cited, then I'm sorry for tagging it, although an article that's just a quotation is not very useful in my opinion. The admin who deleted it was User:Daniel Case; I'm sorry to just send you off to someone else, but you'd be better off talking to him since he can see the content and as an admin he knows more about Wikipedia and its policies than I do.--P4k 06:09, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Alright, since you asked ... It means nothing that the quote was cited. It's a copyright issue specific to Wikipedia.

All Wikipedia text is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License; the only way we can accept text from another website is if it's a) in the public domain or b) relicensed under the GFDL at the point of origin. You'd be better off paraphrasing what was on that page per our Manual of Style, and footnoting it using {{cite web}} and the reference tagging system described at the footnote page. That will give you original text under the GFDL, thus allowing all other users to edit it and other websites to copy it freely. I won't stand in the way of recreating the article, however it would be a good idea to put in the original edit summary that you're trying to recreate a previously deleted article in accordance with Wikipedia standards; that way the newpage and RC patrollers won't assume you're trying to get away with recreating a deleted article. If someone tags it for speedy, let me know (You might do well to look at our notability standards for organziations and see if you can provide some way of showing the MJRC is notable; also let editors at the Judaism project know because they may be better able to provide reliable sources and defend it in a deletion discussion (which I think may happen inevitably).
