July 2019 edit

Unfortunately, the page User:Ismail xaaji dirir/sandbox did not comply with Wikipedia polices, for two reasons:

  1. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.
  2. The page read as unambiguous promotion for the organisation it was about. Wikipedia is not a medium for promoting, advertising, or publicisng organisations.

For those reasons the page has been be deleted. Also, if you are personally connected to the organisation you wrote about then you should read Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest before doing any more editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:20, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Reply


Conflict of Interest edit

I have briefly mentioned Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest in my answer to your message on my talk page, but for your convenience I am also posting here a more extensive notice about it.

  Hello, Ismail xaaji dirir. 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).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
