Unfortunately, the content of your suer page was unacceptable, and it has been deleted. This was for two reasons: (1) It appeared to be purely promotional. Wikipedia's policy is that content which appears to promote anything is unacceptable. (2) The content was copied from other sources, apparently infringing copyright. Content must not be copied from elsewhere unless there is clear evidence that the content either is in the public domain or else is licensed for free use, with a license compatible with Wikipedia's own reuse terms.

Speedy deletion nomination of Collective project

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 Collective project requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - MrX 15:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Articles and websites

edit

An organisation's website has the objective of getting the ideas of the organisation across. That's what it is for. An article here is about an organisation (individual or whatever) and its ideas. Those are not quite the same thing. Organisation websites are necessarily somewhere between mildly promotional and outright advertising, Articles here have to be to the point, and neutral in style (please see WP:NPOV). They are not for getting ideas across, and definitely not to be in PR talk. Your site is not too bad in that respect, but wording like "Companies can find the seeds of great ideas from any nook and yard of the world, and IT has dramatically reduced the cost of accessing them. Virtually no company should innovate on its own, and luckily there has been an enormous expansion of potential partners and ways to collaborate with them." is not what an encyclopaedia article should contain. I would advise you to read other articles about organisations, and write a much briefer article that sums up the organisation. This should be accompanied by reliable independent sources WP:RS to prove the notability that is required by WP:CORP, and which cannot be established by your own website (and which was not made clear in the text). Wordings like "The 36-month COLLECTIVE project wants to solve the major constraints of SMEs innovation by feeding the innovation ecosystem" should be avoided - words are my business, but I find it difficult to understand that. An article Basically, I would not advise licensing your text, as the article would still be liable to probable deletion as either promotional or non-notable. For a website, yes, your stuff is good (subject to reservations about understanding in places), but for an encyclopaedia article, no, I'm afraid not. Please remember that thia IS an encyclopaedia, and not a place like Facebook or MySpace where you can post almost anything. Peridon (talk) 17:31, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

BTW It makes life easier if you are logged in when posting, and sign talk page posts with four ~ things - or use the four that are just below the edit window. Doing this enables us to see who said what, and when, as it puts on your sig and a date/time stamp like this: Peridon (talk) 17:34, 23 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
