Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Prodigy legal minds
A tag has been placed on Prodigy legal minds, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Copyright problems with ONLINE BUSINESS LAWS
Hello. Concerning your contribution, ONLINE BUSINESS LAWS, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). As a copyright violation, ONLINE BUSINESS LAWS appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. ONLINE BUSINESS LAWS has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on.

However, for textual content, you may simply consider rewriting the content in your own words. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 11:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Even if the copyright issue were resolved, I doubt whether this would be acceptable as an encyclopedia article, as it appears to be an advertisement for your services. Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on Conflict of Interest and the FAQ/Organizations before posting material connected with yourself or your business. JohnCD (talk) 11:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Please stop creating articles under different names for the same thing. We do not accept copyrighted material, and we certainly do not accept content with the sole purpose of advertising or promoting your company. Any further attempts to introduce this material to Wikipedia in any form will be met with a block. – B.hotep •talk• 11:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Re your note on the article talk page: it is not enough just to assert that you are the author, if you wish to release the material under the GFDL you must follow the steps in the notice above. But as I warned you above, the material would probably be deleted as advertisement; Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion of any kind. JohnCD (talk) 13:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I think JohnCD has provided you with enough information to make the informed decision that you yourself writing the article is not acceptable. Can I also mention (if it hasn't been mentioned already) this guideline on notability of companies to assist you further: WP:CORP. If your company does not meet these guidelines, I would say it is unlikely the article will stay, copyright and spam issues aside. – B.hotep •talk• 13:13, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
