Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Richard Muma

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:Richard Muma, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

I've declined the speedy deletion nomination, but please make sure you observe the guidelines on conflicts of interest. Deb (talk) 07:20, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Bad tag

Just a note to say sorry for the bad CSD tag on your draft - I was in the middle of nominating some stuff for deletion and I probably tagged it by accident - it's really not promotional and I'm not sure why I would have tagged it intentionally.

That said, if you have a conflict-of-interest with Witchita State University, please declare it on your userpage. Giraffer ^{(talk·contribs)} 16:59, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Muma

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 Richard Muma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.wichita.edu/administration/president/rick_muma_bio.php. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Neither the draft nor the article page are protected from editing, so I don't know why you are asking me to release the lock, you can recreate if you wish. The draft was deleted as an 88% copyright violation, and for legal reasons we don't restore pages deleted for that reason.

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:

• When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.

• He's clearly notable, but your sources include WSU and Amazon, neither of which are independent third-party sources, and the latter is a sales site

• You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
• There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
• You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

He is notable, and the tone of the article is reasonable, although the refs could be improved—you must lose Amazon. It's the copyright violation that has sunk you. If you recreate, note that headings use sentence case here, not title case, and that you text was badly underlinked; for example, Wichita, Houston and HIV all have articles here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:03, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Richard Muma

Hello, Trahmit. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Richard Muma, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Please note that in accordance to our conflict of interest editing guidelines, I have moved your article to Draft:Richard Muma, as editors with a conflict of interest should not create articles straight onto the mainspace. When you are ready to submit the draft for review by our Articles for Creation reviewers, please do so by adding {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page. Thank you.

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Wichita State University, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Trahmit, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Trahmit|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. You also need to respond to the COI notice regarding Richard Muma. Magnolia677 (talk) 18:44, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

It is posted on my User:Trahmit page, which, as I read the Terms of Use, is what is required ...

" ... You must disclose each and any employer, client, intended beneficiary and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. You must make that disclosure in at least one of the following ways: 1. a statement on your user page ..."

On my page it states: " This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Wichita State University for their contributions to Wikipedia." Are you saying that formatting is incorrect?

To the pages in question, I haven't made any changes that do more than indicate updated information often using the same references sources that were used by other users previously. Trahmit (talk) 20:43, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
