Draft approved with copyright infringements

Just to notify you I have deleted Frederick T. Davies a draft you moved into the main space for copyright violations. A large portion was taken directly from the Texas A&M University System's website. Even if the person creating the article says they are the person in question (not sure they did but their user name implies it), we would need still need permission to use it word for word.

That's bizarre; if I remember correctly I trimmed that article to a mere stub. I wish you had notified me first so I could have rewritten the few short phrases that remained unchanged. Oh well, thanks for the heads-up! Regards, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 13:48, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Getting access to deleted article

My submitted article on Janet E. Mertz was rejected because of the inclusion of some material with copyright. I would be glad to edit this article to bring it into compliance, but I neglected to retain the latest version of the article assuming that Wikipedia would retain the text in my Sandbox. It would save me a great deal of time if I could get access to the deleted material so that I could change the quoted passages.

If you hurry up, you can find it here. Otherwise, once the corresponding admin deletes it, I can ping him and you and you can sort it out. Thanks! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 21:56, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, but I am apparently too late to recover the article. Please put me in touch with someone who can help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kanejon (talk • contribs) 11:37, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

@Jimfbleak: See above. Appreciated, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 11:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

FoCuSandLeArN, thank you. I'll restore what appears to be non-copyright text to Kanejon's sandbox soon, I'll need to check the est of the text first. I'll post any other messages on Kanejon's talk page Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:05, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Joram

Hello, You recently trimmed and accepted my article - Joram Piatigorsky. Thank you. I am the representative for Joram Piatigorsky, the article was not created by he himself. But I created it under his user name. Is that a problem? Should I have created it under my own username? Could you explain why you trimmed what you did? And what would be the best way to add some more of that information back in? If you don't recommend doing so, that's fine, but I would at least like to add a photo and a text box - how do I figure out how to do that?

Hello there! Yes, per WP:COI, it's best if you didn't. You may request edits on the article's talk page or through WP:EDITREQ. Per WP:USERNAME, it's best if you didn't use his name as a username either. You can create your own the same way you did the previous one. The information I removed was mostly original research, which is inadequate, given you provided only references to his own work. As for adding a photo, go to this link, and for an infobox, see Help:Infobox. Best, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:53, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

See my comments about Joram Piatigorsky above, as they apply almost exactly to your submission. After looking at your recent edits and subsequent fallout, I recommend you abstain from editing any articles, to be honest, until you're familiar with how Wikipedia works and how the community deals with editing as a whole. WP:TUTORIAL is a great place to start. Thank you, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 17:02, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

IRPA 1997

Hello. You pointed out a possible copyright violation of an ADB pdf on the draft:Indigenous Peoples Rights in the Philippines. I went on the live chat and was pointed towards the plagiarized checker websites and saw that most of the violations were actually direct quotes both by the writers of the pdf and us from the only law in the Philippines that discusses Indigenous Peoples Rights. I've also consulted with my professor who had told us that paraphrasing the law is risky business because we might be placing interpretations of the law. I really feel strongly about being accused of plagiarism I think the mistake can easily be rectified and was not in fact a plagiarism and instead a misunderstanding of how to discuss law provisions and definitions. If you could lift the speedy deletion so my groupmates can delete our direct quotes from the law and write the article without much issue, it would be much appreciated. Thank you, I hope to hear from you how I can improve the article Ceeveers (talk) 06:47, 17 July 2015 (UTC)Ceevers — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceeveers (talk • contribs) 06:43, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
