Archaeological Institute of Kosovo is NOT the prime info center for history of Kosovo. We must use international neutral sources, anything going out from Archaeological Institute of Kosovo is filled with POV pushing nonsense, feeding the new "Republic of Kosovo history" agenda. Also, entire article is copy pasted from their own booklet, so that should be fixed, or deleted. --WhiteWriter^speaks 19:55, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tourist guide, written by layperson, published by Ministry of culture, youth and sport of Kosovo and directly copied into article, warrants for this article speedy deletion. Place the brochure at wikisource. Perunova straža (talk) 23:04, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If, as seems to be the case here, the source is under an open licence/ copyright free, then there are no grounds for speedy deletion. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 07:37, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. Several articles are made by the same user by simply copy/paste of a tourist guide. First, it's not a reliable source (see my previous comment), and second, IF indeed the brochure in question is an open license (which remains to be seen) it belongs into wikisource, not as a text that constitutes number of articles. Not to mention that the said tourist guide is POV material from A to Z. Hence, I support speedy deletion and moving the brochure to wikisource if it is indeed open licence/copyright free, which has not been proven yet. Else, every editor could just copy and paste articles from various unreliable sources, brochures, guides, pamphlets, press releases, etc. Wikipedia is not about the type of Wild West editing you are proposing.

Your agreement - like your unwarranted "wild west" hyperbole - is not a criterion. Wikipedia has policies, not least about speedy deletion, and you have failed to demonstrate that this article or any like it are in breach of any of them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:02, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, Wikipedia has policies, and I yet have to see one that allows articles to be copied and pasted POV tourist guides, written by lay persons. Perhaps, you might provide an example of an article in which, instead of reliable sources and proper style, a POV brochure was used, not only as a source, but as the text of the article itself. Honestly, I'd like to see such an article, since I receive number of pamphlets in my mail, and it would be a waste not to turn them into articles, per principle you propose. Practice so far was to move such texts to wikisource, IF they are open license or copyright free. Now, if something changed recently that I might not be aware of, I would be much obliged if you could point out for me a policy that enabled such a change.

You have it arse about face. If you wish to claim that this article is not permissible as written, then you need to demonstrate that it breaches policy. If you wish it to be speedily deleted, then you must show that it meets one of the limited set of criteria under which such action may be carried out. Otherwise, your rhetoric is tiresome.

Copy/pasted content[edit]

It appears that the majority of the article, if not the entire article, has been copy/pasted from the Archeological Guide of Kosovo and was published by the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, and the Archeological Institute of Kosovo in 2012. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 13:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
