Speedy deletion nomination of David W. Stewart, Ph.D.
[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 David W. Stewart, Ph.D. 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". 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.

[edit]Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. -FASTILY (TALK) 05:10, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to David W. Stewart, Ph.D., without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing Wikipedia. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 21:50, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Clarification on copyright issues
[edit]Article appears to be copied in virtual entirety from a PDF file named "Curriculum Vitae" held on http://soba.ucr.edu/directory/faculty.html?netid=dstewart . This would count as a clear breach of the website's terms and conditions as stated here. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 22:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- While the curriculum vitae may duplicate titles, I'm afraid that duplication of other websites is more substantial. For instance, you placed the following on Wikipedia:
His paper on warning messages was named the best paper published in the Journal of Public Policy and Marketing during 1992-94 and, he was recipient of the American Academy of Advertising Award for best paper in the Journal of Advertising in 1989.

Professor Stewart's experience includes work as a manager of research for Needham, Harper, and Steers Advertising, Chicago (now DDB) and consulting projects for a wide range of organizations. Among the organizations for which Dr. Stewart has consulted are Hewlett Packard, Agilent Technologies, the Coca-Cola Company, Hughes, NCR, Texas Instruments, IBM, Intel, Cadence Design Systems, Century 21 Real Estate, Samsung, American Home Products, Visa Services, Xerox, the U. S. Census Bureau and the United States Federal Trade Commission, among others. He has served as an expert witness before the Federal Trade Commission, in United States Federal Court, and in State Courts in cases involving deceptive advertising claims and unfair business practices, in matters related to trademarks and intellectual property, and in anti-trust actions.
- The source says:
Dr. Stewart's experience includes work as a manager of research for Needham, Harper, and Steers Advertising, Chicago (now DDB Needham) and consulting projects for a wide range of organizations. Among the organizations for which Dr. Stewart has recently consulted are Hewlett Packard, the Coca-Cola Company, Honeywell, Hughes, NCR, Texas Instruments, IBM, Intel, Cadence Design Systems, Century 21 Real Estate, Samsung, American Home Products, Pillsbury, Visa Services, Xerox, and the United States Federal Trade Commission. He has served as an expert witness before the Federal Trade Commission, in United States Federal Court, and in State Court in cases involving deceptive advertising claims and the effects of advertising, in matters related to brands, trademarks and intellectual property, and in anti-trust actions.
- These are two of the many duplicated passages found between your article and that page. This content is published under copyright of the Journal of Interactive Advertising.
- If you wish to create an article on Dr. Stewart on Wikipedia, I'm afraid you will need to write it in your own words unless you are able to provide permission (see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.) With or without permission, you will also need to cite reliable sources that are independent of Dr. Stewart, such as magazine articles or newspaper profiles. You may wish to review Wikipedia:Your first article for some insight into the kinds of sources needed. It might also be helpful to read Wikipedia:Notability (academics) to get an idea of the kinds of information that should be emphasized. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:00, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Wikipedia again, as you did at Black Lives Matter, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Doug Weller talk 13:08, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Important Notice
[edit]This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Problem with your custom signature
[edit]You have a custom signature set in your account preferences. A change to Wikipedia's software has made your current custom signature incompatible with the software.
The problem: Your preferences are set to interpret your custom signature as wikitext. However, your current custom signature does not contain any wikitext.
The solutions: You can reset your signature to the default, or you can fix your signature.
- Solution 1: Reset your signature to the default:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Remove anything in the Signature: text box. (It might already be empty.)
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page. (The red "Restore all default settings" button will reset all of your preference settings, not just the signature.)
- Solution 2: Fix your custom signature:
- Find the signature section in the first tab of Special:Preferences.
- Uncheck the box (☑︎→☐) that says "Treat the above as wiki markup."
- Click the blue "Save" button at the bottom of the page.
More information about custom signatures is available at Wikipedia:Signatures#Customizing how everyone sees your signature. If you have followed these instructions and still want help, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Signatures. Thank you. 18:02, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
