Speedy deletion nomination of Galerie Quynh


A tag has been placed on Galerie Quynh 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 a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://galeriequynh.com/about/. 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 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 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 "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. bonadea contributions talk 10:39, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

Editing with a conflict of interest, and copyright issues
At Talk:Galerie Quynh you said:

"the page is currently being edited by the staff at Galerie Quynh, to whom copyright for any and all content on the Galerie Quynh website (including the page at http://galeriequynh.com/about/) belongs to."

There are a few problems with this, from Wikipedia's point of view.
 * Copyright can't be asserted by posting on an article page, because there is never a way to verify who is behind a post. Because Wikipedia's servers are in the US, American copyright regulations have to be followed. There are ways to verify copyright ownership, which are outlined here, but since the text as written would have to be rewritten anyway to fit an encyclopedia, there is little point in jumping through all those hoops.
 * User accounts can't be shared, and Wikipedia's policy on user names state that the user name can't represent an organisation - each account has to be used by one individual. It is possible to request a change of username, but please note that even if the username is changed, the account must not be accessible to more than one person. If other people wish to edit they will need to create their own accounts. Note : Because this account clearly represents a group of people, it may be blocked. If so, read the instructions in the block notice which will be posted to this page.
 * Ideally, all users should avoid editing in areas where they have a conflict of interest. Per Wikimedia's terms of use, if a person has a financial conflict of interest (defined here), they must disclose this, and should still avoid making direct edits to article - suggesting edits on the article talk page is fine, and such edits may or may not be accepted by other editors who have no connection to the subject.

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 14:09, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
