COI notice edit

  Hello, Gigi298. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:52, 12 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Draft:David Frei edit

 

If this was the first article that you 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.

The page Draft:David Frei has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://nds.nationaldogshow.com/tv-coverage. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review S Philbrick(Talk) 23:12, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your David Frei article edit

I see that you have tried to get an article on David Frei 5 times and it keeps getting deleted. To avoid deletion, you should make a draft and submit it through Articles for creation. That way, other editors can see it (right now I have no way to see it on Wikipedia) and possibly help you with its reasons for deletion. Right now, I'm just guessing that Frei is not notable, according to the Wikipedia standard for notability. I have a friend with 6 published books in hardback, plus he's a professor at the University of California. If I wrote an article about him, I would have an uphill battle to get it on Wikipedia, as most of what is written about him in mainstream sources is either not about his writing, or else is promotional.--Quisqualis (talk) 22:29, 8 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is your final warning. Further violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy will result in you being blocked from editing.Diannaa (talk) 20:47, 6 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
