Bkissin (talk) 18:37, 31 October 2018 (UTC)Speedy deletion nomination of Leslie Joy Whitehead
[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 Leslie Joy Whitehead 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://www.ebritic.com/?p=703462. 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. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 12:56, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- NataSOfficial I suspect that you are the author of http://www.ebritic.com/?p=703462, but it is now copyrighted by Britić - The British Serb magazine (per that link anyway). This is rather unfortunate as the article was a great read and I regret having to nominate it for deletion. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 13:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Dear Insertcleverphrasehere I am, indeed, the author of the Britić article and can both give and get the express permission of Britić (as a sub-editor) for this article to be recreated here on Wikipedia. I do not understand why this deletion has gone through without first consulting me on the matter/giving notice? Much of the content on the Wikipedia article has been changed from the Britić article and a lot of time and effort went into it. Please reverse the deletion or allow for me to access the draft version of the text so more edits can be made. Thank you NataSOfficial (talk)
- NataSOfficial Sorry, it is just part of the process. I'll get back to you in the morning on how to release the text to creative commons (I need to look up the exact process again and don't have time right at this moment), un-deletion is really easy for an admin to do, and I'll request a WP:REFUND after we sort out the copyright issues). Cheers and sorry for the inconvenience. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 22:38, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- Dear Insertcleverphrasehere - Thank you! As I said in my first response, I am happy to make more edits if necessary, but please do keep the original text as I don't have a spare copy. The editor of Britić and myself have emailed the Wikipedia Permissions department granting express permission for the article to be used/donated to Wikipedia. Do let me know if there is anything else that needs be done though, and I'll happily see to it. Best wishes!— Preceding unsigned comment added by NataSOfficial (talk • contribs)
- Nothing is ever 'gone' on Wikipedia, so don't worry. The main issue is that Britić, as the publisher, now has the copyright on the content of that page. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. I don't think you can donate directly because of this, but if you could get the article on Britić amended with a note at the bottom stating Something like "the text of this article is licenced under Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA), allowing anyone to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt it. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 07:39, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- Dear Insertcleverphrasehere, I can certainly add that part in to the Britić article, yes! How swiftly can the article be restored after that? Best wishes, N.— Preceding unsigned comment added by NataSOfficial (talk • contribs)
- Dear Insertcleverphrasehere - the appropriate amendment has been made to the article. Please notify admins. Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NataSOfficial (talk • contribs)
- Excellent. That should deal with the copyright issues. I have asked the admin who deleted it to restore the article ([1]). When Justlettersandnumbers is next available they should be able to put it back up. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 13:38, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- The article has been restored. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 21:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
- I also nominated the article to appear on Wikipedia's main page in the "Did you know?" section (see Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Leslie_Joy_Whitehead), though it might not qualify as it (arguably) isn't less than 7 days old, though I suspect it will be fine. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 22:23, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

- Dear Insertcleverphrasehere Thank you very much for this and for the nomination! It would be fabulous to get Jo remembered before the centenary is over. She has been (until now) very much forgotten! — Preceding unsigned comment added by NataSOfficial (talk • contribs)
- Given the comments over on the DYK page, it looks like we are going to be good for approval. Thanks again for your hard work on this subject. If you write future articles for ebritic, please consider licencing the same way and creating a Wikipedia entry. Again, thanks very much for your work on this, as this appears to be a sorely needed article on a person who really should have been covered more for what was (at the time) a very unique life. Lost, but not quite forgotten. Cheers, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 10:47, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
- This is absolutely great news, Insertcleverphrasehere! Thank you very much for all your help in making it happen. I certainly will be contributing articles in the future - more than likely with information about various women from the Scottish Women's Hospitals. Given all your help with Jo's article, I will probably contact you to proofread/give a final check of them as and when I upload them (if you have no objections to that, of course?). All best wishes, N. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NataSOfficial (talk • contribs)
- Feel free to drop me a message at my talk page. However, there are some others that might be able to help more directly. You can request help/proofreading at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red, a project on Wikipedia where the primary focus is on sourcing, referencing and writing new articles on women like this. Editors over there will be able to provide more direct guidance, and advice on where to find additional sources etc., as that is their area of expertise. If you want advice on notability, or run into trouble (for example at articles for deletion), or with a another speedy deletion or a PROD, etc, please do not hesitate to contact me, as that is my area of expertise. I coordinate the New Pages Patrol project on Wikipedia, which is how I came across your article in the first place. Also, when commenting on talk pages, add
~~~~to the end of your comments to add a signature. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 11:36, 9 November 2018 (UTC)- Thanks for all the info! As you can probably tell, I'm very new to this and still finding my feet! (Think Bambi on ice...) Best wishes, NataSOfficial (talk)

- Hi Insertcleverphrasehere - just wondering if there are any updates on the Leslie Jo Whitehead article being featured in the Did You Know section? Best wishes NataSOfficial (talk)
- Yep! It has been promoted to the prep queue due to go up at 0:00 UTC tomorrow Nov 11 with a bunch of other world war related hooks. It will be up for 24 hours. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 12:35, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- This is such fantastic news! Thank you so much! She made the Serbian media today, too - so Jo is not forgotten after all! NataSOfficial (talk)
- You should add the link to the Serbian media in the article. Can't have too many references. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 19:06, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
- I will, but it is all written in Serbo-Croat. Will that be a problem? It is featured in the "newspaper of record" over there, Politika. NataSOfficial (talk)

On 11 November 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Leslie Joy Whitehead, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Leslie Joy Whitehead, a Canadian woman, enlisted in the Serbian Army as a man so that she might get closer to the front lines in World War I? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Leslie Joy Whitehead. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Leslie Joy Whitehead), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
