Fred Sands

Hi Hairhorn,

I am trying to post some information on Fred Sands, and a portion of it has been deleted due to copyright issues. I'm not sure why this is happening. I work for Fred and this is the bio that we use on our website. Can you please inform me what I can do to ensure that the text remains posted.

Thank you.

Hi. Normally we don't post text from other websites around here, for copyright and other reasons. Have a look at wp:copyright problems. You might also want to read the conflict of interest guidelines. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 22:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Vintage Real Estate, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Intelligentsium 23:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fred Sands

A tag has been placed on Fred Sands, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Fred Sands and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SPLETTE :] ^{How's my driving?} 00:19, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

copying text

Please stop adding promotional and copyrighted text to entries. Your article Vintage Real Estate was deleted for promotional and copyright problems. And you keep re-adding copyrighted text to KNAC; changing a few words does not make copyright issues go away. Please don't add the same text a fourth time. You can be blocked from editing if you continue. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 23:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vintage Capital Group

A tag has been placed on Vintage Capital Group requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
