proposed deletion of School of Extended Studies at Portland State University
Welcome to Wikiversity. I'm sorry to drop in so quickly to suggest that the page you created today is not a learning resource in itself, but rather is an article on a division of a school. While some kind of listing of the School of Extended Studies may be appropriate here, this is not Wikipedia, and an article on the school is not appropriate here. Instead of deleting the page myself, though, I've put a deletion tag on it and some other administrator will review this. It seems that the creation of this page spawned a discussion at Colloquium, if you'd like to see what others think and comment. You will see some possible suggestions there and perhaps you could help to make it so. --Abd 01:19, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I had to delete the page because much of it was copied and pasted from various material provided on the website of the Portland State University. It can be recreated using original material but material from the home website cannot be copied over as we do not have the copyright to allow that. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:49, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

response from tncarey
OK, I'm working on a new page, in the 'regular' wikipedia section... I wasn't sure how to delete the one I created in Wikiveristy; If I work for the school and wrote most of what is on the site, can I re-use some of the text?


 * See User talk:Tncarey/School of Extended Studies at Portland State University. Please obtain your copy of this within two weeks. When you have made your copy, you could replace the reason in the deletion tage with "author request" and it may be deleted sooner. Wikipedia is stricter than Wikiversity about copy and paste, and you might wish to consider if the School of Extended Studies needs its own separate article or if a section in the University article is sufficient. Best wishes.... --Abd 01:04, 15 July 2010 (UTC)


 * You can have the whole website released for use, but it would mean that it would be GFDL compliant and anything could be republished that appears on Wikiversity. Many schools want to keep control over what is put on their website and how other websites use it, so it might be in the best interest to have a similar but differently written statement here which is "free" for people to copy and use without worrying about the website's material.
