Speedy deletion nomination of 360training.com


A tag has been placed on 360training.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Vrenator (talk) 13:52, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:360training austin building.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:360training austin building.JPG. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or provided a license tag. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, select the appropriate license tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you can't find a suitable license tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (360training wikimaster) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. (www.360training.com) --Hammersoft (talk) 14:31, 13 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Your comment on my intended article has been truly helpful, Hammersoft. Thank you very much. I will declare that I do have an interest in the subject (360training.com) and the company as a writer. But I am also an experienced journalist, having worked with a leading business paper and the editorial group of a global bank, and can write objective content. I am willing to have my content reviewed by peers more experienced in Wikipedia and rewrite if necessary. This is a learning experience for me as well and am happy to receive tips and constructive comments from people who care about the Wikipedia project. I will follow your suggestions and advise you of my progress on these talk pages. Cheers!

Mentoring help
360, I'd love to help you on this. Ive written 4 articles that were featured on WP's main page even though I was somewhat involved in 3 of them. There are ways to get around this (legitimately). You've taken the first step to acknowledge that you are involved and you need to be careful about your edits. The most important thing to do is to maintain a neutral tone with the article. Stick to the facts. If you need any additional help, please contact me on my talk page. Buffs (talk) 21:21, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Non-free files in your user space
Hey there 360training wikimaster, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot, alerting you that non-free files are not allowed in user or talk space. I removed some files I found on User:360training wikimaster/360training.com.


 * See a log of files removed today here.
 * Shut off the bot here.
 * Report errors here.
 * If you have any questions, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 05:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Although you have neither suggested a new username above, nor provided any good reason for us to believe that you will not continue to violate Wikipedia policies by trying to create the same article, Here are a few key questions:


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 13:42, 18 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the guidance, Bwilkins. Yes, I do understand and respect the nature of Wikipedia as an encyclopaedia. I understand the notability requirement for an article. And declare that I do have some conflict of interest in creating an article on 360training.com. But I am willing to abide by guidelines of an objective entry that will be informative to readers. I am trying to rename my account but am encountering snags and am unable to do so. The new account name I want to use is fatherseyes_snapblogs . Will appreciate guidance on this. Thanks

Understood. If he does, I'll be happy to support the block. Buffs (talk) 18:59, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for unblocking, Bwilkins and for the mentoring help, Buffs. will gladly work closely with you.

Would like to request a change in username to: fatherseyes_snapblogs

Orphaned non-free image File:360training.com logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:360training.com logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:


 * I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a template, along with your question, beneath this message.
 * I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
 * If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
 * To opt out of these bot messages, add  to your talk page.
 * If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 19:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Ok, dude. You're unblocked
Now what? I suggest a few things:
 * 1) Change your username
 * 2) Fix the image highlighted above to note that it is a PD image with trademark restrictions
 * 3) Start working on this article within your own user space

Any questions? Contact me on my user page. Buffs (talk) 19:01, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * thanks much, Buffs! I made a change username request above, i.e.
 * Would like to request a change in username to: fatherseyes_snapblogs  .  Is this the right way to go about this? thanks! 360training wikimaster (talk) 11:54, 26 October 2011 (UTC)


 * To fix the image, you should know it doesn't retain the complexity to attain copyright, but certainly has trademark restrictions. You can use File:ECU_logo.gif as an example of how to fix your image.
 * To fix the Username issue, simply resubmit your request exactly as you did above. Someone will likely get to it within a couple of hours.
 * I haven't had a chance to look at your user subpage, but will look at it later tonight. Buffs (talk) 20:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this, Buffs. Will check out ECU_logo to fix my image. And will resubmit my request for Username change. Cheers

Conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (360training wikimaster) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest.

Yunshui 雲水 09:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Yunshui, thank you for your comments. 1. I have already requested a change of name. I am reproducing my contestation of this recommended action.

This page is not unambiguously promotional because it belongs to a notable topic of interest, particularly elearning. Blackboard also has an entry on Wikipedia and is proof of the notability of the subject. 360training.com represents a branch of elearning which is becoming more significant in the last 4 years -- compliance learning -- especially in the light of the global financial crisis. More and more industries are now under strict government regulation and professionals need to pass stringent standards, including taking continuing education. But using online learning for compliance is something that was controversial until companies possessing expertise in this sub-field proved otherwise. 360training.com is one such company.

Because of the systems it has proposed to government bodies that consulted with the company elearning courses have been accepted as continuing education media. This is true especially of 360training.com which is recognized by over 300 government agencies (these agencies are all referenced here for verification). But this has also become true for other elearning providers.

Compliance education, of which 360training.com is a recognized pioneer, is an important step in the evolution of elearning. The private sector-nation/state partnership implication of this is particularly significant. Blackboard does not have this capability and expertise. 360training.com content therefore provides/fills in important missing information on Wikipedia.

Further, this has been the subject of discussion involving Bwilkins and Buffs [refer to earlier entries on talk page]. A constructive concession has been arrived at where Buffs has agreed to critique and provide guidance to the author of this content.

As to verifiability, this article references recognized and credible sources such as INC 500/5000, Reuters, Marketwire. I have these references. But all this discussion has distracted me these past days and for this reason I still have not finished writing this article/entry.


 * My apologies; I had missed the datestamps above and hadn't realised how recently your namechange request had been placed. I'm striking the warning template I placed. Yunshui 雲水 10:35, 27 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Appreciate the correction of your previous action, Yunshui. Regards 360training wikimaster (talk) 10:56, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:360training wikimaster/360training.com


A tag has been placed on User:360training wikimaster/360training.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Yunshui 雲水 09:34, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
