Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Growbai, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:Sandbox have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:04, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:BuyAnyInsurance


A tag has been placed on Draft:BuyAnyInsurance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. GPL93 (talk) 13:17, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a place to merely tell about a business. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has articles about subjects shown with significant coverage in independent reliable sources to meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the special definition of a notable business). Wikipedia is not interested in what an article subject wants to say about itself, only in what independent sources state. Independent sources does not include press releases, staff interviews, routine business announcements, brief mentions, or any other primary source. Not every business merits an article here, even within the same field. Wikipedia is also uninterested in enhancing your business' "internet presence" or its search results. Please also review conflict of interest and paid editing(compliance with the latter is a Wikipedia Terms of Use requirement). 331dot (talk) 13:28, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I have a good number of examples where we did the same and our submission was accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Growbai (talk • contribs)
 * Who is "we"? Accounts cannot be shared.  If you are editing for clients or otherwise being paid to edit, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to declare any paid relationships you have. There are no edits to your account indicating you have submitted other articles, so you must have done so under another account. 331dot (talk) 13:41, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

"We" is me but under another account, you are right. I can specify the submission I got accepted in another account which was made in similar circumstances i.e. the business was a normal local business and popular to the similar extent as BuyAnyInsurance is. However, since it's your domain and I only had this much of right to remove the speedy deletion nomination. Thank you for replying back and sharing the information.

There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 13:47, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

I have decided upon further consideration to block your account, as your username "Growbai" would seem to be related to BuyAnyInsurance and "growing" it, and you have edited about your business. There are also a lot of other questions raised here that will need to be addressed, such as possible sock puppetry and undisclosed paid editing, which the admin that reviews this block will look into should you make an unblock request. 331dot (talk) 13:50, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Re: The username is, yes, growbai which referes to growing company's presence online. I am an employee of this company, called BuyAnyInsurance. I did intend to share the business information on Wikipedia. You have the right to block or unblock at your will.
 * Wikipedia is not concerned with any business or person's "online presence". Wikipedia's special definition of a notable business is what determines which companies merit articles here, as described in independent reliable sources.  Wikipedia has zero interest in what a company wants to say about itself. If you just want to tell the world about your company, you should use social media, your own website, or an alternative forum where what you want to do is permitted; this is the end of the line for your Wikipedia career if you are only interested in telling about your company.  If you want to edit about subjects unrelated to your conflict of interest, you should make an unblock request detailing what subjects you want to edit about as an individual, general contributor.  You must also address the points I have made here.  Should you choose to make a request, another administrator will review it. 331dot (talk) 18:28, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Re: With your kind of representative tone from the side of Wikipedia, if I know you are an employee for them, I would not even want to ever use Wikipedia for my personal use.
 * I have done nothing other than give you the basic respect you deserve, but it is up to you if you want to use Wikipedia or not. I am not an employee, just a volunteer editor. 331dot (talk) 20:40, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
