Speedy deletion nomination of The Imagination Gap

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 The Imagination Gap requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://createtech.aaaa.org/ct-2015-speakers. 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 or other printed material 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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.

Copyright and conflict of interest

Thank you for your interest in creating an article for The Imagination Gap on Wikipedia. There are multiple problems with your submission. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder. In short, a copyright owner cannot offer Wikipedia a one-time license for use. Rather, the copyright to the material has to be released – permanently and irrevocably – into the public domain or under a free copyright license that is compatible with Wikipedia's licenses. This is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, so all content must be licensed for that purpose. You can learn more about this policy at Wikipedia:Copyrights.

The second problem is conflict of interest. Writing an article about your own work or that of a client is strongly discouraged, as it is difficult to maintain the required neutral point of view.

If you'd like to use the copyrighted content in an article, you can follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission on how to obtain the proper licensing. If you are the copyright holder, refer to Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for how to grant us permission to use your content. Alternatively, you could write a new article that does not closely paraphrase the material available online.However you would then still have to abide by the conflict of interest guideline. In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

I'm sorry this message could not be more favourable. If you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

March 2017

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen | talk 15:26, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Littlemmedia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

First, I settled on this user name because all other reasonable user names that I had attempted to create related to my actual human name were nowhere close to available. So this seemed like a reasonable identifier, it was not a commercial push at all. Second, the posts that I contributed re: the Imagination Gap were not intended as promotional, but rather factual - the Imagination Gap is a legitimate discussion, based on a published work, that is gaining traction in business, philanthropy and other circles. THIRD - and I have contacted Wikipedia multiple times about this. My primary reason for making edits to entries at the moment is so that I can be qualified to have editing permission to work on the entry associated with Sean Combs. I work with Mr. Combs and there are factual innacuracies in his entry. I have submitted them multiple times and requested assistance. I was told I needed to make ten edits to other pages so that I could auto-qualify to make edits. I determined the easiest way to do that was to post about the Imagination Gap. If someone would like to help me make the necessary edits to Mr. Combs' page then I am happy to remove my account and the Imagination Gap entry without further discussion. Alternatively, if someone could help me to make ten edits related to the Imagination Gap so that it did not violate the policies - the policies are very difficult to understand - then that would be great as well. Otherwise, I am at a loss, and incredibly frustrated.

Decline reason:

I'm sorry you're frustrated, but nobody gets to use Wikipedia for advertising, and The Imagination Gap was exactly that -- including direct cut-and-pastes from your own publicity site. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 18:01, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Note that a username such as "Brian at Littlemmedia" would be considered acceptable, since it identifies you as an individual.

I am unaware of any history you have with the Sean Combs article, or whatever account names/IPs you used in the past. However, as you have acknowledged a relationship with the subject, you should disclose that on the article talk page and your user page. If you are paid to represent him, then "should" becomes "must", per Wikipedia's rules on paid editing disclosure.

Before requesting another username, please carefully review the paid editing policy and Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. We welcome contributions made in good faith, but hopefully you understand our (justified) scrutiny of editors who have a personal, professional and/or financial interest in their work here. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
