Draft:Jason Xenakis
[edit]@Kristoferly Hi, I am sorry that your first involvement with Wikipedia has been difficult and frustrating for you. You clearly have great skills in research and writing. Despite the difficulties with this draft that we discussed on the talk page, I hope that you will consider contributing to Wikipedia again. It appears you would be able to make a great contribution to the work of Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy. You have requested that the draft is flagged for deletion, and I have now done that. You, or other editors, can contest the proposed deletion.Marshelec (talk) 19:35, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for that.
- Thank you for your time, effort and particularly your patience with this - I understand that it would be frustrating dealing with new comers who don't know the way things are meant to be done. I may consider contributing in the future, particularly if someone does write an article about Xenakis. But generally I'm more attracted to original research, going after the subjects or individuals that are yet to be written about. So, perhaps, in my own way I am contributing by putting the information out there and allowing others to create the wiki article.
- Thanks again.

The article Draft:Jason Xenakis has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The draft contains large sections of text copied from an article published on the website modernstoicism.com but there is no suitable CC licence on that website page. See the discussions on the talk page. The creator of this draft no longer wishes to proceed, and has asked that the draft is flagged for deletion.
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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Kristoferly! Your additions to Draft:Jason Xenakis have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 03:28, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
