Speedy deletion of "Julian Taylor FRCS"[edit]

A page you created, Julian Taylor FRCS, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. DARTH PANDA ^duel 13:03, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. -Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 13:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr Edith Margaret Taylor, M.B., F.F.A. R.C.S.[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 Dr Edith Margaret Taylor, M.B., F.F.A. R.C.S. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Travelbird (talk) 09:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

January 2011[edit]

Your addition to Dr Edith Margaret Taylor, M.B., F.F.A. R.C.S. has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. nancy 10:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have also removed large tracts of text from Julian Taylor (surgeon) which you copied from his BMJ Obit. nancy 10:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have also deleted File:Dr Edith Margaret Taylor.jpg on which you claimed copyright but is clearly a scan from another BMJ Obit[1]. nancy 11:03, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto File:Julian taylor.jpg. If you do have the original photograph then please scan that rather than the copy from the journal nancy 11:19, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1) My family are the "copyright" holders of the photographs of both my grandmother AND my grandfather's BMJ images. Both photographs are family property and I have CLEARLY stated that in the copyright. I (ME) hold the copyright of all images.

2) As for copy of information on both my grandfather and grandfather this is information well within the public domain. I rather think that a 25 year old obituary copied from the BMJ, which originally appeared in The Times (by whose kind permission it was reproduced in the BMJ) is outside the copyright restrictions.

3) The Wikipedia entry on my great-uncle (Sir Geoffrey Ingrams Taylor) is openly reproduced from CUP records. Does this have CUP approval?

4) The image of G.I,Taylor is from a photo in the ownership of the Taylor family i.e. my father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Macjules (talk • contribs)

Thank you for your reply. To address your points in order:

Unfortunately we are unable to just take your word for this. As I mentioned above the best way for you to prove that you are the copyright holder of the original image would be to scan it. The images posted previously have been scanned from the obit of which you are clearly not the copyright holder & the permissions in the obit do not refer to the family.
Neither the BMJ nor The Times publish under a license which is compatible with Wikipedia's (Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and, except where otherwise noted, the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts)) and as they are only 25 years old are still covered by UK copyright law, which in essence establishes that copyright in most works lasts until 70 years after the death of the creator if known, otherwise 70 years after the work was created or published (fifty years for computer-generated works).
Could you please explain what you mean. Are you saying that the text of Geoffrey Ingram Taylor is a direct copy from one or several CUP publications? If so could you provide further detail ASAP so that any copyright issues can be dealt with forthwith.
Could you explain what you mean.
