Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/TripOrTrap
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/TripOrTrap, may be copied from http://www.crunchbase.com/company/triportrap. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 08:58, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Status and Advice

 * As reviewing administrator, I confirmed that a good deal of it is a close paraphrase, a slight rearrangement of the website specified. Furthermore, it is highly promotional, basically an advertisement for the company. Another admin deleted a few weeks a ago a very similar AfC. Let me explain:

A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release. It must include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia, not   material that would be of interest only to   prospective clients or users of the site

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.


 * Do not recreate the article again, unless you can do it right. If you keep adding promotional material or copyvio, you're likely to be blocked.  DGG ( talk ) 05:00, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
