Copyright problems

Hello, Emerson clarke. Concerning your contribution, Reason - C++ Library, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material without the permission of the author. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://reasoning.info/. As a copyright violation, Reason - C++ Library appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Reason - C++ Library has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Reason - C++ Library and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Reason - C++ Library with a link to where we can find that note.
If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Reason - C++ Library.

Wikipedia and copyright

Regarding this comment: Wikipedia takes copyright seriously – we're giving stuff away for free, so we have to be sure we're in a position to do that. If you planned to release the text of your website under the GFDL, the note I placed above this comment gave you instructions on how to go about that.

Although it does strike me that it would've been simpler if reasoning.info had carried a note to that effect in the first place. Cheers. Sturm 01:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reason - C++ Library

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Reason - C++ Library, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Reason - C++ Library.

February 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Reason - C++ Library has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Party!^{Talk to me!} 01:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Reason - C++ Library

I have nominated Reason - C++ Library, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reason - C++ Library. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. KurtRaschke (talk) 01:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of AFD template

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Reason - C++ Library. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. KurtRaschke (talk) 05:14, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I take it you were the IP editor who removed the AFD template again? I would strongly urge you not to do this again. Removing the template is considered vandalism (see the note on "avoidant vandalism" here). Thank you. --Sturm 14:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Reason - C++ Library, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. скоморохъ 14:18, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note also that the article is no longer proposed for deletion, which is for uncontroversial deletions, but is now at articles for deletion, as editors disagree as to whether it should be deleted. скоморохъ 14:21, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please show me the official wikipedia policy which says the AfD template should not be removed. The policy that i read said that it could be removed if anyone disagreed with the deletion, or if editorial changes were made. It seems to me that you are trying to falsely inforce a policy which doesnt exist. There is also a good reason for removing the template, becuase it stops people contributing misinformation to the discussion, such as the many claims about copyright, which are all irrelevant.--Emerson clarke (talk) 17:46, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's considered vandalism: see Wikipedia:VANDAL#Types_of_vandalism. Moreover, you are mistaking two different procedures: a proposed deletion can be contested by removing the template; an articles for deletion discussion cannot be contested by removing the template, and repeatedly doing so runs the risk of a block. --Sturm 19:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of File:Reason-C++.jpg

The file File:Reason-C++.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
