Speedy deletion nomination of BHP House
[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 BHP House 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. ELEKHHT 20:48, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:16, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
Copyright violation
[edit]I see that an article you created, BHP House, has been deleted twice now. Part of the reason is that the article contained material copied from copyrighted sources—the "Construction" section in the most recent version, for instance, seems to have consisted entirely of material copied verbatim from Goad's Melbourne Architecture. Even though you cited that book as a source, Wikipedia will not accept such copied material. The basic rule is that you may get information from your sources but may not reproduce the words of the sources; everything has to be expressed in your own words. I recommend that you read Wikipedia:Copy-paste and the pages it links to before trying to create any other articles. Deor (talk) 15:45, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- And now you've added the same material containing copyright violations to 140 William Street. Please heed the advice I've given you above. The information you've dug up about the building may indeed be a valuable addition to Wikipedia, but you simply can't add content copied directly from the sources you've used.
