User talk:Dtruran

A tag has been placed on Ebbf, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MER-C 08:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

EBBF
Hi Danny. I think that you misunderstand the purpose of Wikipedia; it is an encyclopaedia, and carries only neutral, verifiable material. There are several problems with your article.
 * 1) It is written as promotional material. it is full of unsourced spammy phrases such as a community of people passionate about bringing ethical values, personal virtues or moral leadership into their workplaces or women and men practising and promoting moral and ethical values to create successful and meaningful businesses or Its membership is diverse and crosses generations, borders, sectors and beliefs. If you want to make these claims, you have to source them.
 * 2) Your recent article did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines or to support the claims made as above. The organisation's website is not independent, and blogs are not verifiable evidence. I don't know whether 400 members would make it notable, but with the article's other problems that's immaterial at the present.
 * 3) Much of the material, including the logo, seems to be almost verbatim from the EBBF website, and is therefore a copyright violation. Is the EBBF really prepared to release its logo under the GFDL, allowing others to use it for any purpose including commercial? Unless that's the case a fair use rationalle would be more appropriate.
 * 4) If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:
 * If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article talk page.
 * Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at the article talk page with a link to the web page details.
 * Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement.

Although your article is clearly written in good faith, it needs a lot of work to be factual, verifiable sourced, neutral and non-copyright.

O for the glory days when THFC swept all before them, instead of languishing in the depths. Jimfbleak 05:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
