File source and copyright licensing problem with File:TMEIC Crane blue.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TMEIC Crane blue.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 16:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 16:30, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ANAB - The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board


A tag has been placed on ANAB - The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.anab.org/about-anab/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa (talk) 23:50, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:ANAB - The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 05:18, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

It looks like you reposted the content from ANAB - The ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, complete with copyright tags, which is why it showed up as a copyright issue. Offhand it looks like at this point the issue would be close paraphrasing, so what you'd need to do at this point would be to get the company to file a ticket through OTRS giving the site permission to use the materials, which would help take care of close paraphasing.

However I also noticed that the page had some issues with promotional tones, which is ultimately why I deleted it. Phrases like the following are considered to be fairly unambiguously promotional and would need to be removed or re-written to meet NPOV guidelines on Wikipedia:
 * "provide confidence for customers in the systems and accuracy represented in the products and services they purchase. As the validations are internationally recognized for consistency, they serve as a conduit for global commerce and trade by providing reliable means of comparing quality"

Now something that I have to ask - what's your relation to the company? In other words, are you someone that was hired or otherwise asked to edit the page by the company? If so, you need to disclose this on your userpage. I'd also recommend going through WP:TRAINING or WP:ADVENTURE as a show of good faith and also since that'd help you pick up on some of the stuff you'll need to know on here. The COI would actually make some sense if you're used to writing press release or marketing material, since it can be very, very hard to pick up on promotional and copyright violations since neither are really an issue with marketing materials and writing in a promotional tone is as natural as breathing.

First, thanks so much for the response. I have been out of pocket a couple of days with my daughter's graduation.

I am have never directly met anyone with ANAB, but am familiar with their work as I deal with testing labs. I have had one (Inorganic Ventures in Christiansburg, VA) as a client for a long while and have become friendly with their lab techs. One mentioned working with ANAB (which is the certifying agent for their standards) and when I was researching them I was surprised they did not have a page. While I don't know anyone there, my friend works with them regularly and I will get the company to file the appropriate ticket.

So far as tone, I rewrote it so much to try to get it to clear copyright, I don't think that should be an issue.

I wrote for a monthly for a long time and they have ceased publication. I did an article recently on a football player from my alma mater and found it to be interesting. I hope to be able to do some occasional wiki articles to kind of scratch that itch. I will request the permission and try to repost with changes in tone.

All my best, Todd. And again, thank you for your assistance in this matter. Bbcard1 (talk) 02:43, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Copyright violations
Do not post any further copyright violations. Doing so even once will subject you to an immediate and indefinite block from further editing. I've just had to delete your copy pastes to TMEIC Corporation and Medical Representatives Certification Commission, not to mention your past copyvios in your many attempts to post an article on ANSI-ASQ.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:12, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Paid editing
Hello Bbcard1. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:14, 22 September 2016 (UTC) Bbcard1 (talk) 12:04, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

I write professionally in ad agency, so it would seem that way. Honestly I've grown weary of this project and am going to let it go. See below for the explanation of why I was writing it, if you have any interest. I'm just going to request and article and see if someone else will worry about it.

I am have never directly met anyone with ANAB (this was true at the time, but no longer is, I talked to them about rights to their site to aid publication), but am familiar with their work as I deal with testing labs.

Orphaned non-free image File:MRCC Logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:MRCC 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:58, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
