User talk:Dhiscotland

Welcome!
Hello, Dhiscotland, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as DHI Scotland, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Passengerpigeon (talk) 11:02, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of DHI Scotland


A tag has been placed on DHI Scotland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://dhi-scotland.com/what-is-digital-health/. 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 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 "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.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  11:58, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

reply to email
Thanks for email. Several issues here
 * If you think that your user name does not represent an organisation, you can appeal the block as described in the box above
 * If you wish to request a change of user name, again you can appeal the block as described in the box above, but you will be asked to undertake not to edit articles about this topic in which you have an obvious conflict of interests
 * I was hoping you could give me guidance on how to either edit and update this page, or delete the page and my account.&mdash; If you are referring to Dhiscotland, it's already deleted. If you mean this page, that is unlikely to happen as we need to maintain a record. If you mean another page, you'll have to specify the exact name, so I can check.

If you are unclear or have any further questions, you can leave a message on this page. I may see it sooner if you start with a link to my user name, Jimfbleak Jimfbleak - talk to me?  11:04, 20 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi Jimfbleak


 * Thanks for your reply.


 * I would like to edit/delete this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Inscribe/Digital_Health_Institute


 * I understand this may be required for records however it is searchable from search engines and does not contain correct information.
 * It would be preferable - if in the case it could not be removed - if it was corrected to the Digital Health & care Institute / Digital Health and Care Institute.


 * Many thanks for any help.


 * You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ . I've moved the page to User:Inscribe/Digital Health and Care Institute, so that is the easy bit. As far as I can see, User:Inscribe is not blocked, but hasn't edited for two years. I can't delete the work of another editor without good reason.


 * Unless you want to edit regularly, rather than just fix this article, the simplest way ahead might be to post the text you want to add or change below this message. If you choose to do that, you will need to
 * provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Put your references in the the text following the fact each supports using . Then    at the end will automatically generate a numbered list
 * it must be written in a neutral and encyclopaedic tone.
 * You can't copy text from your website. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.


 * Let me know what you want to do Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:58, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Jimfbleak As we are a government organisation, we would like to keep our company information the same - Are we able to use written text from our website if we explicitly state that the text is public domain?


 * You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ . It's not quite as straightforward as that. Either you need to label your website itself as public domain, but only the US government routinely does that, so that's probably a step too far, or you need to follow the OTRS verification procedure here


 * Note that the text must still meet our other requirements, in particular it must be factual and neutrally written and without weasel words.


 * Since you apparently are not the original editor of this account, I'm minded to unblock you so that you can create a new account with a permitted name (one that doesn't have any connection with your organisation). What name would you select if I did that?
