Speedy deletion nomination of Disappearance of Lynette Dawson

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 Disappearance of Lynette Dawson 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 http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-12/lynette-dawson-home-searched-by-police/10235958. 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.

Hello, Epideme12! I had to delete this page Disappearance of Lynette Dawson because most of it was copy-pasted from another source. That is an absolute no-no at Wikipedia. That does not mean we can't have an article about this case. It just has to be written in your own words - not taken verbatim from any published source and not closely paraphrased. I suggest you try again, possibly in your "sandbox", which is a place where you can take your time and get your article right before it gets moved to the main encyclopedia. You'll find a link to your sandbox at the top of every Wikipedia page, as long as you are logged in to your account. If you have questions or comments you can ask me here; I will see it. --MelanieN (talk) 00:32, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Melanie,

There was a section of this article that was not copy pasted and I spent some time on it. How do I retieve that section so that I can get it back?

Deletion discussion about Disappearance of Lynette Dawson

Hello, Epideme12,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Disappearance of Lynette Dawson should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Disappearance of Lynette Dawson .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute.

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Warren Commission. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 17:12, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
