Welcome!
Hello, Daniel.pohl, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Daniel.pohl/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, 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 User:Daniel.pohl/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Daniel.pohl/sandbox 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 an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://onf-nfb.gc.ca/medias/download/documents/pdf/tales-of-Fogo-Island.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Daniel.pohl. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page High IQ society, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 15:21, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Limitations on COI policy
This is a poor policy as this will necessarily eliminate experts from contributing to specialized topics of interest.

Respectfully yours, Daniel Pohl Daniel.pohl (talk) 15:29, 27 August 2019 (UTC)


 * You are still welcome to suggest changes regarding your organization on the article's talkpage in such situations. If you have further questions, please feel free to ask at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors (most personal user talkpages are not watched for messages and such posts may get overlooked). Hope this helps a bit. GermanJoe (talk) 16:19, 27 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Please also read WP:MEATPUPPET. Or do you now have a 2nd account? -- Doug Weller  talk 18:43, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

No meta muppets or second account. Best regards, Daniel Pohl

Sandbox
This was never published. I was playing around with the editing features in Sandbox; which is what a Sandbox should be for. Daniel.pohl (talk) 18:30, 27 August 2019 (UTC)
