Re: Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute edit

No problem! Don't hesitate to ask for help when you have problems, I'm glad to help. To be fair, though, it was Anthony Appleyard who actually moved the page :) Jafeluv (talk) 13:18, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Gerold Bepler edit

 

A tag has been placed on Gerold Bepler 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Conflict on interest edit

I see you have been writing exclusives on subjects connected with the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute. Our rules on Conflict of Interest. have changed since you began here 6 years ago, and are now much more precise.

It is possible that you have some financial connenction with the institute, as an employee or agent or contractor. If so, you are associated with the organization as a paid editor, and you you must declare this, according to our Terms of Use, [1] Section 4, "Paid contributions without disclosure.

The only recommended way of adding material other than mere entirely factual updates when one has a conflict of interest, paid or unpaid, is to add the material to the article's talk page, not the article page itself, and place a {{request edit}} tag on the talk page, after your suggestion.

I have made some adjustments on the material on the Institute, to accommodate our present style: for example, we do not include officials other than the CEO, nor do we include every building. I also have some question about the title: we use the common name of an organization not the official name, and it would be much more usual for such an institute to be called in most contexts the Karmenos Cancer Institute. I invite your comments about this on the article talk page. DGG ( talk ) 23:31, 7 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
