Speedy deletion nomination of Chessplus

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 Chessplus, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Oaktree b (talk) 00:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

The article Wizard (chess) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Obviously non-notable
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. JBL (talk) 23:50, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Teahouse
Hey, MoH! It's great that you've discovered the teahouse; it's a great place for new users to ask questions. But as a new user yourself, you probably don't have enough experience to be answering questions there yet. It's better if you just read the questions and see how other more experienced editors answer them. Valereee (talk) 11:29, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wizard (chess) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Please be more careful at the Tea house
Hi, The Master of Hedgehogs, I think it's really great that you want to help out other users, by leaving responses to Tea house questions. And it was especially nice of you to leave a {{Talkback}} notice on the page of an IP user in this edit, to let them know their question had a response. However, unfortunately, you're sometimes giving incorrect advice, such as the ones about shortcuts, and vandalism, which later have to get corrected by other users. Please be more careful with your responses at the WP:Tea house, and research anything you're not certain of. Pro tip: be aware that certain words that mean one thing in English (like, say, vandalism, reliable, or notable, and many others) have special meanings at Wikipedia, so it's crucial to understand what Wikipedia means before you give advice using any of these words. The Wikipedia:Glossary may sometimes be of help there. Thanks for your contributions at Wikipedia! Mathglot (talk) 19:05, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I didn't know that the file "Baba is you gameplay.gif" was copyrighted, okay? I just thought that the copyright violation removal bot was making a mistake. It's the Master of Hedgehogs! (do you wanna talk?) 12:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Now that you do know, please tell us what you will do differently going forward and describe your understanding(in your own words) of what copyright is. As copyright violations potentially put Wikipedia in legal jeopardy, we must be convinced that you understand the issues here. 331dot (talk) 08:00, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- TMoH, you should assume that anything you find on the internet is under copyright until proven differently. Wikipedia takes copyright violation extremely seriously, so "I didn't know that the file "Baba is you gameplay.gif" was copyrighted, okay?" doesn't fill us with confidence that you'll be more careful in future. What we want to hear is something closer to "Oh, shit, I had no idea! Sorry! Won't do it again!" Valereee (talk) 17:40, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:
I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
- the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
- the block is no longer necessary because you
- understand what you have been blocked for,
- will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
- will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Courcelles (talk) 03:24, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
^ "COP-OP COPYRIGHT - YouTube". . Apparently Sony owns the Super Mario theme???? (Sony owns EMI Music Publishing, and the Super Mario Bros. theme was licensed for use in the soundtrack for the Super Mario Bros. movie back in 1993. However, the track is owned by Nintendo.) ^ "COP-OP COPYRIGHT - YouTube". . By the way, the song that was claimed was the Super Mario Bros. theme when the song was clearly Bob-omb Battlefield, so something's fishy.
Decline reason:
The above describes what copyright is, but The Master of Hedgehogs did not address what they did wrong (adding NFCC), why it is important to not do that on Wikipedia, and how they will avoid this behaviour in the future. Also, I'm unsure why "copyright claim fail" was mentioned, as that has nothing to do with the concerns that got the user blocked. In future requests, please address the concerns and stay on-topic.

Request reason:
First of all, I am really sorry for doing that. I was a fool back then, simply thinking that the bot removing the copyrighted file, "Baba is you gameplay.gif," was making a mistake. Going forward, I am going to check if files are free to use, such as illustrations of chess pieces that have the intent of being used in chess diagrams, before using them.
I understand how copyright works, and I know why it's there. My personal understanding of copyright is that it can stop people from stealing a copyrighted character and/or their signature characteristics. Me and everyone else on this planet, is only human, after all. Everyone made a mistake at one point or another. Some have even made multiple mistakes. Like me, the self-proclaimed "Master of Hedgehogs," with my copyright-infringement incident. Again, I thought the bot had made a mistake by removing the file, which I thought wasn't copyrighted. It's only now, that the block has been put in place on my account, that I realize that I shouldn't have done that, and that the file was, indeed, copyrighted material. Going forward, I will attempt to look at files before using them.
- Sincerely, The (now exiled) Master of Hedgehogs. 20:28, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I think this request says most of what we need to hear, but I'd like clarification on one point: How do you plan to distinguish between files that are free to use and ones that aren't? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 02:45, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

- ...and look at the "Licensing" section of the page.
- - The (now exiled) Master of Hedgehogs. 21:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- Okay. I see this as an adequate response to the reason for the block. @JJMC89: Do you have any objections to an unblock, with an understanding that any future copyright issues will lead to a reblock? -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 08:06, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
