Your recent addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Hairhorn (talk) 15:02, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

According to a message from you, content on the Canadian Real Estate Association page was deleted because of copyright issues. It was the Canadian Real Estate Association who edited the page and owns the material.

Our page needs to be updated to reflect our Association correctly.

 * You are encouraged to update the page yourself. But you should alwayse use neutral, non-promotional language and not use text that violates existing copyright. You might also want to look at the conflict of interest guidelines. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 21:42, 19 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Please note that you cannot add material verbatim from another site, even if your organization owns copyright to it, unless the Wikimedia Foundation is given express, verifiable permission to use it. A statement from an anonymous user isn't sufficient to satisfy that requirement.


 * Further, don't insert copyright or trademark symbols into Wikipedia articles. This is not a marketing vehicle, it is an encyclopedia. Mind  matrix  21:27, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Stifle (talk) 12:59, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
