Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one of your recent edits to Open Source Lab has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Open Source Lab (OSU), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://osuosl.org/about.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Hello. It is possible to rename a page together with history and talk page, which is better than moving the text. --AVRS (talk) 11:44, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I've tagged the new page for deletion, but I think it's too early to give the disambiguation page the shorter name if all the links are going to be red. Wikipedia:Disambiguation shows some options. --AVRS (talk) 11:57, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
I moved the page to OSU Open Source Lab (that name is used in a couple of places at http://osuosl.org, and has no parentheses), leaving a redirect. If you don't create any articles on the other labs, or if the first one is most notable, you can create your disambiguation page at Open Source Lab (disambiguation) and add ((other uses)) or ((redirect)) at the top of OSU Open Source Lab. --AVRS (talk) 12:56, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Open Source laboratory information management systems, 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, product, group, service or person 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 "Click here to 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:34, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey, I thought I'd give a little more detail on why I've removed some things. Ultimately it boils down to coverage in reliable sources. A concept can be notable, yet individual features such as books, specific companies/labs, and such won't pass notability guidelines to merit their own article. What this means is that even though the topic might be notable and something might be associated with someone that's notable (in the case of the book, the author Pearce), that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by that association. We absolutely, positively must have coverage that is not only in-depth, but is in a source that's independent of the topic and reliable by Wikipedia's standards. I didn't see that for the book.
I also removed several of the links on the disambiguation page for OSL. The rule of thumb is that in order to merit a mention on a list or disambiguation page on Wikipedia, the lab must have received enough coverage to pass notability guidelines. Given that the average scientific laboratory doesn't burn up the presses like some of the other stuff out there, this can often be very difficult to find and most labs won't pass notability guidelines. It's frustrating, but we're not here to make up for the lack of coverage. You can suggest guideline changes, but it's very unlikely that the rules will change on this. The most we can sometimes do is if we have a proper full article for something we can link to the websites for some of the most notable labs out there, but the general rule of thumb for external links is the less the better. Linking to every lab can often turn into linkspam even if it's unintentional. That's the basic reason why we don't link to websites on disambiguation pages or lists unless the subject/lab/company/person is notable enough to pass notability guidelines.
Now what I'd suggest is that you work on one article about OSL. This looks like it might be difficult, since this could be seen by many to be a POV fork of Open-source movement. The key is to find sources that talk specifically about the labs as opposed to the movement itself. The movement has been around for a few decades, but you will probably still run into problems with this due to the limited amount of coverage. A way that you can sometimes get around things like this is to create subsections in the main articles if there's enough coverage. The thing to be careful of is that you aren't too liberal with how you interpret the RS, as sometimes people can take more from a source than was originally intended and it can become original research. Another alternative is to work on articles in your own userspace. An example would be say, creating an article for the book at User:Stockwellnow/Open-Source Lab (book). You can work on articles at your leisure in your userspace without fear of someone saying "this doesn't pass notability guidelines". It's also a good way to get used to editing and such, if you're a newer editor. I've created a version of the book's article in your userspace for you to work on and source.
I hope that the book gets more coverage, but the reality is that most academic texts don't gain a lot of coverage. It's fairly rare when you get down to it and in many instances I've had to redirect articles to their author. If all else fails then you can create a subsection in Pearce's article that discusses his work with OS projects/labs at more leisure, although a section for the book itself is probably not a great idea unless we get more coverage. It can sometimes put undue weight on the one book as opposed to Pearce's overall work with OS stuff. Most times we just list a bibliography section as opposed to any lengthy or semi-lengthy mentions of individual books. Hope this helps! Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 07:52, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
