User talk:CBalsarini

Welcome!
Hello, CBalsarini, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful: Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! It's good that you now have an individual user name. However, if you work for or own the Aboriginal Art Directory site, as this link and this link suggest, conflict of interest remains an issue. It is against WP policies to insert links that help optimise search engines. Regardless of that, references should only be inserted where they are needed to support facts etc in an article, they should be added consistent with the Manual of style and should only to be to reliable sources. If you take a look at some of the policies linked in the welcome above, it will give you more of an idea of how to help write the encyclopedia. Since it appears you have a conflict of interest, you can make requests to add links at individual article talk pages. Then, if an uninolved editor agrees it is appropriate, they can action it for you. Hope this helps. Regards, hamiltonstone (talk) 09:42, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Aboriginal Art Directory


A tag has been placed on Aboriginal Art Directory, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 "Click here to 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.

 * In brief, Wikipedia is licensed under the GNU free document licence and the Creative Commons Attributive Sharealike licence. Thus, all the content needs to be so licensed as well.  Text you don't own absolutely, positively cannot be included.  Regardless of the merits of an article about the Aboriginal Art Directory, it must be written by you, so you can license it for anyone to reuse under the terms of those licences.  Beyond that, they style of article needs to be encyclopaedic and from a neutral point of view.  I'd recommend starting with Your first article, but I can answer any questions too.
