Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring and sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Shanay Thompson[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Shanay Thompson, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.wix.com/misssacramentousa/shanaythompson.

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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Shanay Thompson[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 Shanay Thompson 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 {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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.

re: Shanay Thompson[edit]

Under our policies regarding copyrights, listed on Wikipedia:Copyrights, all creative works are copyrighted, by the Berne Convention and other international agreements, unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed. The web sites you mentioned do not explicitly cite they are free content or public domain, so we must assume that they are in fact copyrighted. This is especially true regarding the copyright laws in some countries like the United States (where Wikipedia's web servers are located), where an explicit use of a copyright notice is only optional and not required (in other words under these countries' laws, works are automatically copyrighted in most cases unless otherwise stated). Another factor that also comes into play is that Wikipedia's content is suppose to be reusable; one who has material online "freely available in the public" may not necessary want it to be reused, modified, and/or sold commercially.

If you have permission from the author of such work, you must follow these steps:

1. The author must send you an email saying:

That he is willing to grant permission for the text to be used in Wikipedia.
That he is willing to grant permission for this as either public domain or under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_Attribution-ShareAlike_3.0_Unported_License for the full license text).
He understands that the text may be freely redistributed and used.
He understands that it may be freely modified, and modified versions may also be freely redistributed and used.
In all cases, the CC-BY-SA license requires proper attribution of the author(s) (Does not apply if he gives full public domain permission).
The CC-BY-SA allows commercial re-uses provided such re-use is also under CC-BY-SA (Does not apply if he gives full public domain permission).

2. Re-create the article and re-upload the relevant text

3. Immediately add {{OTRS pending}} to the article's talk/discussion page

4. Forward the permission e-mail to the Wikipedia volunteer response information team at "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org" Make sure to include the URL of the relevant article, and the release will be securely archived. In this mail, please include:

The original request and confirmation answer
The source Internet URL and the proposed Wikipedia link for the article

More information on this process can be found on Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Good luck. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:05, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
