Speedy deletion nomination of Eric metaxas

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 Eric metaxas 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Eric Metaxas page

Hi Excirial,

I received notification that my wiki page for Eric Metaxas was denied acceptance because it uses copyrighted information. However, I have copyright permission from Eric Metaxas himself, the owner of the copyrighted information, and the OTRS copyright was approved by Wikipedia on my talk page for the Eric Metaxas article. Thus, shouldn't my article be OK? Sorry, I'm new to all this Wikipedia article creation and the concomitant rules, so I might be missing something! Let me know if I need to do anything more to the article in order to get it approved. Thanks!

Best, Jared — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaredbaragar (talk • contribs) 18:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hiyas there Jared,

I have to admit it is rather unusual for an AFC article to have an OTRS permission template - to be frank i haven't seen another one that had the permission template on its talk page. It also seems that the AFC helper bot doesn't know how to deal with it either, since it moved the page to the AFC namespace (Per procedure), but left the permission template behind on the talk page of the original article. I restored the article itself, so it is available for editing again - and i placed the OTRS template on the page itself just to make sure reviewers see it.

Having said that, the article itself has several major issues, most of them stemming from the fact that it is a literal copy from a personal website (Which content is virtually always written in a style that isn't encyclopedic). To sum it up, the article has the following issues:

The article's content isn't verifiable trough reliable sources. See This page for an introduction on references.
The article is written in a non neutral point of view, and contains a large amount of peacock terms. For an example of a neutral article, have a look at This page, section "Writers, publishers and critics"

Hope this helps, and with kind regards, Excirial^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 14:19, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Use the talk page to discuss major revisions

Please stop removing content from Eric Metaxas without explanation. Read here to understand how we deal with disagreements in Wikipedia: WP:AVOIDEDITWAR. Basically, since the material you want to remove has already been discussed on the talk page, it's not appropriate to just make a change to it without engaging that discussion, certainly not to mark it a minor edit. So if you want to make major changes to current content, please make your case on the talk page, referring to the relevant Wikipedia policies or guidelines if possible, especially the ones that have already been linked to on the talk page. Warm regards, Hugetim ^(talk) 21:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SPI Notification

A discussion that may concern you has been initiated here. VQuakr (talk) 07:47, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been blocked based on a partially false sock puppet allegation

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Jaredbaragar (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I did have and inappropriately use the sock puppet Jon Graham, but I am not related to the account Kschar at all. I do not know who this is. It is not my account, and I have never used it. Yet, I am blocked indefinitely for being Kschar's sock puppet, which is false. Initially, my block was set to expire today, but it was then prolonged indefinitely for the false reason that I am Kschar's sock puppet.

Decline reason:

This account exists purely to promote or paint in a good light a subject with which you clearly have a conflict of interest. You have used dishonest means to try to give the impression of independent support for the point of view you have been trying to promote. There is abundant justification for a block, whether or not you are the same person as Kschar. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:25, 25 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
