Please don't add copyrighted text to Wikipedia edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:National Society of Collegiate Scholars. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at National Society of Collegiate Scholars, after describing the release on the talk page. However, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you. — Miles←☎ 04:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

If you want to have the article restored as written, and you own the rights to the text previously at the NSCS article, you must either post a notice on the NSCS website releasing the relevant text [1][2] under the GNU Free Documentation License (or into the public domain), or else send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions at wikimedia dot org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation. Keep in mind that this grants not only Wikipedia, but everyone the right to use your text under the terms of the license. Otherwise you will need to rewrite the page so that it does not use any copyrighted material (do so on this temporary subpage). See Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information.
Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages. Typing four tildes after your comment ( ~~~~ ) will insert a signature showing your username and a date/time stamp, which makes it clear who said what, and when. Thank you. — Miles←☎ 21:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I am trying to add this to the page, but everytime it said I have violated copyright law. I am an employee of an NSCS and have the right to add that image to the page. I also have the serial number from our originally filing. Do you know how I can get this image on the page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nscs (talkcontribs) 16:45, October 2, 2006 (UTC).

Wikipedia is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It is not sufficient to give Wikipedia permission to use copyrighted materials. It is irrelevant that you are an NSCS employee. To upload copyrighted content to Wikipedia you must do one of the following:
  1. License your content under a free license; this will allow anyone to use the content for any purpose so long as certain requirements are met. Only the copyright holder (NSCS) can do this. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.
  2. Upload it with a Fair Use tag and provide a detailed fair use rational. See Wikipedia:Fair use.
Please read Wikipedia:Image use policy for more information to avoid your uploads being deleted. — Miles←☎ 03:51, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:NationalSocietyofCollegiateScholarslogo.jpg edit

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:NSCS copyrightlogo.jpg edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:NSCS copyrightlogo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Your username edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Nscs", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies that it represents an organisation rather than an individual, see WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. - You say "I am an employee of an NSCS ...", so you need to read about conflict of interest and about paid editing. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:37, 18 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

June 2016 edit

 
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.
