Hello. Concerning your contribution, User:Doitalldu/Doitall, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://lordgangworldwide.ning.com/. As a copyright violation, User:Doitalldu/Doitall appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. User:Doitalldu/Doitall has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at User talk:Doitalldu/Doitall and send an email with the message to . See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that it is licensed under the CC-BY-SA license, leave a note at User talk:Doitalldu/Doitall with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you hold the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL, and note that you have done so on User talk:Doitalldu/Doitall.

Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 21:49, 20 June 2010 (UTC)


 * It is not enough to assert permission to use; for one thing, we have no way to know that you are who you say, and for another release to Wikipedia involves more than just permission to reproduce. It is essential to folow the steps explained in the warning notice above.


 * However, even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article.


 * Also, please read WP:Autobiography for the reasons why you are strongly discouraged from writing about yourself because of the conflict of interest involved. JohnCD (talk) 21:49, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
