Speedy deletion nomination of Carlos Alejandro Campo
Hello Ralatriste,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged
Carlos Alejandro Campo for deletion, because it seems to be
promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
Hello Ralatriste, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to
Carlos Alejandro Campo has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without
permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double
quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at
Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also
Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper
paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create
copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples,
hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to
verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not
original research.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are
public domain or
compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the
help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see
Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be
blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —C.Fred (

You cannot copy the Ashland press release wholesale into the Wikipedia article. You can use the information from the press release and write your own text about it—though ideally, we should be using independent
reliable sources to support the article. —C.Fred (
