License tagging for Image:Sandler Communications.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Sandler Communications.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Copyright policy
 * Images Help page

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 07:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

General Wikipedia information
Regardless of the outcome of your unblock request, I will point you to some very important policies and guidelines for you to review. First, and most importantly, the core policies of Wikipedia. Neutrality is one of these core policies, and as such, it would be extremely hard for someone associated with your company to be able to create an article about it, that would be neutral and unbiased. This is the reason for the conflict of interest guideline, which states: "COI editing often involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself or the interests of other individuals, companies, or groups. Adding material that appears to promote the interests or visibility of an article's author, his family members, employer, associates, or his business or personal interests, places the author in a conflict of interest." What is instead suggested, is that you wait for someone who is not associated with you, or your company, etc., to create the article, as if you are truly notable enough, there will have been enough news coverage to warrant interest by multiple editors. This brings me to the notability issue. Not every major company is notable. Please be aware that this is not saying your company isn't, but rather that Wikipedia has guidelines on notability. In this case, for a company, "A company, corporation, organization, team, religion, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject." (As a note, I did do a Google News search for "Sandler Communications" and "Sandler Communications Texas" and came up with nothing published by third-party sources.) This isn't to say the article may not still be valid, but I'd request you review the notability guideline. Another issue to be aware of is the copyright policy, which means basically that copying and pasting things such as press releases, or resume information, is not accepted, but also extends to image uploads as well. I hope this will clear up some issues with policy and guidelines on Wikipedia. Cheers, Ariel ♥ Gold 13:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
