User talk:SamOrange

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

American Anthropological Association Statement on Race

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of American Anthropological Association Statement on Race, and it appears to include material copied directly from en.metapedia.org/wiki/Statement_on_%22Race%22.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:11, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. I was the original author. SamOrange (talk) 04:14, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Keep in mind that you are replying to an automated message issued by a bot, so the user controlling the bot will likely be unable to see the message you sent. You might want to notify him on his talk page. -PotatoNinja^{(Talk to me!)} 05:20, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of American Anthropological Association Statement on Race

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 American Anthropological Association Statement on Race requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from {{{value1}}}. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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 removed 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. Diannaa (talk) 19:09, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

The source document at Metapedia is not released under a compatible license. I did see your note that you also created the source article. However, an OTRS ticket is needed to confirm that. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on how to do that. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:12, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of American Anthropological Association Statement on Race

The article American Anthropological Association Statement on Race has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

editorializing not npov

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. DGG ( talk ) 01:43, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Can you explain why it is editorializing? I don't understand what this means. SamOrange (talk) 10:33, 25 July 2015 (UTC)

You seem to be acknowledging that you are acting on behalf of a site-banned editor

Hi, SamOrange,

Your comments on the American Anthropological Association Statement on Race article talk page appear to suggest that you have posted comment here authored by a person who is site-banned from Wikipedia, which is a form of evading a block. That's regrettable, because there is so much better stuff to read about the issue of race. I will post some better sources here for your reading pleasure and edification.

"Better" presumably defined as conforming to your minority "race is not biological" Marxist pseudoscience POV. SamOrange (talk) 05:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
