Welcome!

Hello, Joannalibrarian, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Southern Australian, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! wintonian talk edits 07:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Southern Australian 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 Southern Australian 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 clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. wintonian talk edits 07:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi Wintonian
Thanks for pointing me in the direction of Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. I will now follow one of the processes explained there. I am a librarian at the State Library of South Australia, the creator and copyright holder of the SA Memory website, including the page http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?c=3946
How did you know that the text I included in the Southern Australian article was the same as that on the SA Memory website? Were you aware of the website previously?
Here at the State Library of South Australia we are exploring adding articles relevant to South Australia to Wikipedia as we are aware that many people start their research in Wikipedia and never think to visit our website. I have been charged with exploring this, obviously within the principles and guidelines of Wikipedia and its community, but it is all rather new to me, so any advice/suggestions are gratefully received. Kind regards Joannalibrarian (talk) 04:23, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
It's nice to have you on board, not everyone is so willing to work within Wikipedia’s guidelines. I performed a search of the text (we haves bots that sometimes do this as well) and your website came up in the results so I compared the text. You can still use the material as a reference which will point readers to the website either for verification or for more information, you just can't copy & paste unless the WP:OTRS team have received the relevant permission from the copyright holder. If you need any more help you can either ask me or as at WP:NUH, regards. --wintonian talk 10:01, 6 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Adelaide Morning Chronicle (Adelaide) edit

 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Adelaide Morning Chronicle (Adelaide), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?c=2420.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

I would like to query why you nominated the page Burra Record for speedy deletion (it has since been deleted by another editor) for copyright infringement when the discussion page of the article showed that the copyright holder had given permission for the text to be used.

I had followed the process explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The copyright holder of http://www.samemory.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?c=2616 is the State Library of South Australia and I am a librarian there. Kind regards Joannalibrarian (talk) 04:47, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Burra Record edit

Thanks for notifying me. I was unaware of OTRS ticket 2011070410000244 and have restored the page. Have a great day! Neutralitytalk 21:48, 4 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
