ArcInTexETN
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of ArcInTexETN, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.hb.se/en/ArcInTexETN/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 15:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of ArcInTexETN


A tag has been placed on ArcInTexETN requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.hb.se/en/ArcInTexETN/. 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.

Block
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user 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 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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (talk) 21:29, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above.

You cannot post copyright material on Wikipedia even if you are the copyright holder, unless special licensing permissions are in place. That is because Wikipedia aims to be freely distributable and copyable by anyone, and all content must have the appropriate documentation in place before that can happen. Please see this policy Copyrights which explains how it works. -- Diannaa (talk) 12:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello Hogskolaniboras. I have received your emails. Please communicate here, on this page, rather than by email, so that other administrators can review your remarks. It is obvious from your email that your only reason for visiting Wikipedia is to add material on an organization where you have a conflict of interest. It's also obvious from your email that you do not understand copyright law and how it applies to this website. I recommend that patrolling admins refuse this unblock request. -- Diannaa (talk)

Diannaa, My reason for visiting Wikipedia is NOT only for the purpose you mention above. Assuming this is a personal insult on me. I visit Wikipedia for other purposes as well. Editing however is new to me, I have to start somewhere, and blocking me AND the IP Address so completely as done is violiting Wikipedia's own blocking policy stating that blocking is not meant as a punishment, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Blocking_policy. I try to be constructive on this matter and would appreciate to be met likewise. Your statement above implicates that my purpose is to continue breaking rules. I have to protest on this. Primarily I want to correct things on a certain page, which is impossible if I am blocked. If you will not let me correct things the page in question will continue having errors. Could you please specify what of the copyright rules I do no understand, apart from the logotypes that I try to get removed as I understand they ought not be here in the first place.

As for my attempt to create a page for ArcInTexETN: Just delete it. It was my very first attempt to create a page and it did not turn out well at all.Hogskolaniboras (talk) 15:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Your article on ArcInTexETN was copied from here, a copyright web page. Material online is copyright (even if it is not marked as such), and you cannot copy it here. It's against the law for you to do so. Sometimes the copyright holder is interested in releasing the material under license, but there's no indication that was the case here. The copyright logos that you uploaded to the Commons have been deleted, as has the copy vio article ArcInTexETN. Your username, Hogskolaniboras, is a match for the name (in Swedish) of the University of Borås, one of the universities affiliated with the ArcInTexETN programme. This is why you were blocked: Promotional username matching that of a corporate entity, and posting copyright material regarding a programme sponsored by that entity. The block is not intended to punish you but rather to protect the encyclopedia, and is in compliance with our username policy, which does not permit promotional usernames. Your first choice of a new username ("Universityofboras") gives me the impression that you are affilitated with that university; perhaps you are a member of the staff? If so, you have a conflict of interest, and should not be editing the article on the university or its affiliated programmes or services. Several questions for you:
 * Please clarify: Do you have a conflict of interest?
 * You say you have edits you wish to perform on a certain article; please tell us which article it is that you propose to edit and what edits you intend to perform.
 * Your account will not be unblocked until you can make it plain to us that you understand copyright law and how it applies to Wikipedia. So far you have not shown that understanding. Once these three questions are answered, a decision can be made as to whether or not to unblock this account. By the way, the username "SollanUB" might not be accepted, as there's already a user with a very similar username ("SollanHB"). Thank you, -- Diannaa (talk) 19:52, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Diannaa, Question 1: It is rude to ask what interests I have, just as bad as asking me what religion I have or what politics I support. I understand very well what conflict of interest means. Question 2: I have already asked for and got help editing and deleted logotypes from wikimedia. Question 3: I believe indeed I understand what the copyright laws. I have read it back and forward on : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights In short it means that I have to formulatet an article text of my own, cite properly, give credit to cited published work, give references etc. New username suggestion: Nyanama1977 Hogskolaniboras (talk) 08:10, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you have a conflict of interest or are you employed as a staff member at the University of Borås?
 * Please give some examples of the articles and types of edits you propose to perform if unblocked.
 * The new username choice "Nyanama1977" looks to be okay. -- Diannaa (talk) 14:33, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Dianna, I am very new on Wikipedia so I can just give examples of topics of my interests: education in general, literature, linguistics, skydiving. Hogskolaniboras (talk) 15:40, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Still awaiting your answer to the question about conflict of interest. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:11, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
