Welcome![edit]

Hello, Robharker, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Lapidary 3D Solid Scanner, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Lapidary 3D Solid Scanner[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 Lapidary 3D Solid Scanner requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://contest.techbriefs.com/2010/entries/machinery-and-equipment/921. 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 or other printed material 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 "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) 23:54, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright and Wikipedia[edit]

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've deleted the content as it had been previously published here. In cases like this Wikipedia automatically assumes that the material is copyrighted and would not fall under the Creative Commons license requirements on Wikipedia. Your name suggests that you're the author and if you are (and you hold the copyright) then you can file a ticket through WP:OTRS giving Wikipedia permission to use the content.

The only warning, however, is that since this is something that you came up with yourself, I wouldn't advise that you try to re-add the material yourself since this can be seen as possible self-promotion. (This means not trying to recreate the article or add mention of it on other articles.) The other concern is that there might not be enough coverage to justify this having an article at this point in time. I'd heavily recommend that you look over the WP:COI guidelines and talk to users at Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine or Wikipedia:WikiProject Technology to see if the topic would pass notability guidelines and if so, see if one of those users can create the article.

I'm writing back because you posted new content to the article contesting the deletion. Wikipedia cannot accept this on face value and you'd have to file a ticket through OTRS to give the site permission to use the material. (In other words, prove that you are you. Be careful though, as submitting the content would mean that the writing would be placed under a CC BY-SA 3.0 License.) However like I said earlier, I'm concerned that this is something that was relatively recently created and hasn't received the type of coverage (and/or enough of it) to pass notability guidelines as a whole. Wikipedia isn't really meant to be a place for you to discuss or raise awareness for things that you created yourself WP:ONEDAY - you have to show where other people have written about it in independent and reliable sources. From what I can see the odds are high that even if the content was fair use, it likely would've been deleted in other formats for not passing notability guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Lapidary 3D Solid Scanner[edit]

The article Lapidary 3D Solid Scanner has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Absolutely no clue what this has to do with the title. Even if I did, it doesn't belong here.

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.
