Welcome[edit]

Hello, Mdantas0 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

Go through our online training for students.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! — regards, Revi 04:27, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Overwork[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 Overwork 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 deleted 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.

Copyright problem: Overwork[edit]

Control copyright icon Hello Mdantas0! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Overwork, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://mckinneylaw.iu.edu/ilr/pdf/vol39p51.pdf https://www.thefreedictionary.com/overwork http://www.hofstra.edu/pdf/academics/colleges/hclas/cld/cld_rlr_f04_takeback.pdf etc, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text to be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

See Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries for a template of the permissions letter the copyright holder is expected to send.

Otherwise, you may rewrite this article from scratch. If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Overwork saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved.

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hello! Sorry, I wasn't aware of it and will rewrite the article following the guidelines. I've wrote it 8 years ago as a part of a lecture from the university, and I fo believe my professor at the time and I made all the investigations on tools on the web to confirm that the text would be properly quoted, cited or direct to the original articles.
I will read the guidelines with more attention this time. How long do I have to rewrite it and send it to a proper evaluation? 2804:14C:5B72:8F2B:1C8A:FEDB:D193:C6F9 (talk) 21:34, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again! Sorry for the many questions but where can I find the original article so I can remove the citations and rewrite? Would that be allowed? Mdantas0 (talk) 22:01, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Justlettersandnumbers @SandyGeorgia It appears I am the professor supervising this 8 years ago. Apologies for the trouble, but as you can see, the main author (Mdantas0) is willing to rewrite this (thank you, that is very appreciated). Is there any place that contains a more detailed analysis of the problems found, and that would display the similar sentneces or such? The best I know is Earwig, and it suggests only part of the article is at fault, not the entire article? (Few more passages are highlighted when checking with other links, but I am not sure if there's a way to display all text that has not been rewritten on one screen?).
Mdantas0, the old version of the article can still be seen here, but I am not sure for how long. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:22, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you go to the article article, and read through the template on the article, you will see there is a button there you can click for the rewrite. It stays on the copyright page until you indicate it's rewritten, and then one of the copyvio admins/editors moves it over. From Overwork click on "can you help solve" ... show ... for the dropdown, and that takes you to ... Can you rewrite the page ... show ... and that takes you to the rewrite subpage. Good luck!

I put several of the Earwig copyvio links on Talk:Overwork-- you can see there the portions copied from each source I listed there (I didn't check them all). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Mdantas0, thank you for offering to rewrite this. Some guidance:
  • I've identified three sources from which content seems to have been copied (at the start of this section); SandyGeorgia has identified several others at Talk:Overwork
  • you should not edit the Overwork page now that it has the copyvio notice on it
  • you can start a rewrite at this special page (follow the link to reach it)
  • you can access previous versions of the page through the View history tab; the most recent before the copyright problems were noticed is this one
  • please don't copy any running text from the existing page to your rewrite unless you are 100% certain that it is entirely in your own words (because any copyvio in the rewrite will render it unusable); you can freely copy the footer material – see-also, references, categories etc – as those are not covered by copyright
  • (this is just a suggestion) you don't have to rewrite the whole page at once – a short version will suffice to replace the compromised one, and you can then add to it at your leisure/convenience. I don't know if Mies van der Rohe ever actually said "less is more", but it could apply here.
Thanks all round, including to Piotrus. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
