Wikibooks:Requests for undeletion/Bannu Pulao

Bannu Pulao
Dear Administrators, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request the undeletion of my article on Bannu Pulao, which was recently removed due to a copyright violation. I understand and appreciate the importance of copyright compliance, and I would like to address the situation in a responsible and professional manner. Firstly, I want to highlight that I was not given any prior warning or notification regarding copyright issues in my article. I believe that a warning and guidance on the specific copyrighted content would have allowed me to rectify the problem without having the entire article deleted. I want to emphasize that a substantial amount of time and effort was invested in creating the article on Bannu Pulao. Incidents like these can be disheartening for newcomers and may discourage them from contributing to Wikibooks. I genuinely value the collaborative spirit of this platform and am committed to being more vigilant about copyright issues in the future. I assure you that, should the article be reinstated, I will diligently work to enhance it by incorporating reliable sources and ensuring that it aligns with Wikibooks' copyright policies. I kindly request your understanding and assistance in this matter. Thank you for your time and consideration. Pukhtun zalmai (discuss • contribs) 14:54, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Pukhtun zalmai. It is true that I deleted it without warning, and I do apologize for that. We do, however, regularly have copyright issues in the cookbook, and the entire page was a near word-for-word copy/paste of | a recipe on another website. Before adding new recipes to the cookbook, you would have received a warning in the editor instructing you not to copy in such a way. Because of these issues, I am hesitant to restore it. We do welcome productive contributions, and you are welcome to contribute recipes that do not violate our policies. If you can prove that NiftyFoodz will donate the recipe in accordance with our policy, we can host it on Wikibooks. Cheers —Kittycataclysm (discuss • contribs) 18:09, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear Kittycataclysm,
 * I appreciate your prompt response and the clarification regarding the removal of my Bannu Pulao recipe from Wikibooks. I understand your concerns about copyright issues and the need to maintain the integrity of the content on the platform.
 * I would like to highlight that Bannu Beef Pulao, like many traditional dishes, follows a universal and generic preparation method with commonly used ingredients. It is not a unique or proprietary recipe owned by any specific source, and it is widely known in the culinary world. My intention was to contribute a standard, well-known version of the recipe to benefit the Wikibooks community.
 * I acknowledge the importance of adhering to Wikibooks' policies, and I apologize for any oversight in the initial submission. I am fully committed to revising the recipe to ensure that it is an original contribution, with rephrased wording that avoids any appearance of copying, and adheres to Wikibooks' content guidelines.
 * I am determined to ensure that the revised recipe complies with your policies and contributes positively to the Wikibooks platform.
 * Thank you for your understanding and guidance in this matter. Pukhtun zalmai (discuss • contribs) 18:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The point of restoring something is if it has value in the sense of being capable of being edited to meet policy requirements. For example, something that was out of scope could potentially be reworked to be in scope. This isn't true of a copyright violation. Restoring it restores the violation and the violation will remain in the history. Allowing you to edit it would simply create a derived work of a copyright work, which also isn't allowed. Therefore, it will not be restored. MarcGarver (discuss • contribs) 12:25, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
