Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

File permission problem with File:Public Wealth of Nations book image for PWoN listing.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Public Wealth of Nations book image for PWoN listing.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

Please do not mark your edits as "minor" unless they truly are minor typo or grammatical corrections only
Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Dag Detter, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Melcous (talk) 00:00, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Public Commercial Assets
Hello Hollyeighteen,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Public Commercial Assets for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Killer Moff (talk) 13:47, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Concerns on the articles you've been making
I've looked at two articles that you've recently created, The Public Wealth of Nations and Public Commercial Assets, and noticed that they consist primarily of material that's been copied and pasted from other, copyrighted sources. This is problematic due to American copyright laws, and is apt to lead to at least large portions of that material being removed from the article, and quite possible the deletion of the article as a whole. (I suggest you review our essay on copying text from other sources.) In addition, your source for large chunks of The Public Wealth of Nations seems to have been the promotional website for that book, which should also be a red flag for you; the goal of Wikipedia (to provide neutral information) and of a promotional page are profoundly different. Wikipedia is not here to hype the material. I appreciate your desire to expand Wikipedia, and hope that we can find ways where you're not putting effort in on material that will be quickly removed or deleted. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:27, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dag Detter 2.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Dag Detter 2.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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.

File:Personal photo of Dag Detter.jpg listed for discussion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Personal photo of Dag Detter.jpg, has been listed at Files for discussion. Please see the to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 21:53, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Holly: you state on my talk page that the photo "doesn't have any rights attached", but under modern copyright law, rights exist in the work from the moment of creation and need to be specifically ceded. As reproducing copyrighted work can had legal implications, I'm sure you can understand that we need something more than a you-say-Dag-said-his-partner-said-it-was-okay permission (and, frankly, this becomes even more of a concern given the false claim of copyright in the BBC frame capture and the false claim that Dag was the creator of the image in the current photo.) The best way to handle this is to have the partner themselves upload the file onto either Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons (which may be easier to navigate if the person does not speak English), where they can accurately claim that the photo is their own work.
 * Having said that: your edits on Wikipedia seem to be focused on this one book and its authors, have a promotional tone to them, and you appear to be in direct contact with one of the subjects. I recommend that you review our guidelines on conflict-of-interest editing, consider whether you have the sort of conflict described there, and if so, a) announce that conflict and b) start editing in the appropriate manner indicated by those guidelines.
 * Thanks for your time and effort! --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:47, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Hollyeighteen. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. --Animalparty! (talk) 19:38, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Diannaa, I've actually submitted permissions several times to the email you mentioned but it doesn't seem to be making any difference. Do you have any suggestions, I'm not sure what else to do but full permissions have been emailed to the email address by the owner. I would really appreciate your help if you can guide me a little? Hollyeighteen
 * Just in case is not watching this talk page: Hollyeighteen, if you have submitted valid permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, you should add the template OTRS pending to the file pages of each image mentioned in the email. This alerts both other users and OTRS admins to the pending status, and can avoid repeated deletion attempts. There is likely a backlog, as OTRS (just like Wikipedia) is a volunteer system, but you should receive a confirmation within a few days, and a request for more info if needed. --Animalparty! (talk) 01:58, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I've added the OTRS pending tag to all these images. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 13:45, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much Diannaa and Animalparty, I'm still learning but I really appreciate your help! --Hollyeighteen (talk) 09:33, 21 November 2016 (GMT)

Legatum Institute
Holly:

I saw you object to the Legatum Institute link on the Dag Detter page, saying that it was not the right Legatum. Looking at the website you linked to and the fullness of the Legatum wikipage, it appears that it is the same group; the firm in Abu Dabai funds the institute, and the Institute and its works are covered lower on the firm's page. If you have some indication that all those indicators are wrong, please post them on the Talk:Dag Detter page. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:14, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Public wealth of cities


A tag has been placed on Public wealth of cities, 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.

Proposed deletion of Public wealth of cities


The article Public wealth of cities has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Notability. This is a promo article sourced to things that predate the book, an article written by the authors of the book, an article written by an author in the pay of the publisher of the book, and the Financial Times article, which is not about the book but has a sentence referencing it and a few sentences that may be derived from it well into the article."

Hollyeighteen (talk) 08:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Hi Nat, thanks for bringing the more promotional aspects in my piece to my attention, I have made some significant changes. I have been writing the article based somewhat on the page for why nations fail and I'm not sure I see the difference between how that article is occasionally promotional, and my text which i have been trying hard to make as un promotional as possible. Would you be able to point me in the right direction please? Any thoughts appreciated...Hollyeighteen 09:53, 6 September 2017 (UTC)Hollyeighteen (talk) 08:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Holly, here is one first step for avoiding inserting promotional material into book articles: don't copy and paste the publisher's sales materials into an article. Sales materials are intended to promote the book. In addition, copying such matter is also generally a copyright violation, forbidden on Wikipedia. Given to your history of editing, which is basically exclusively built around these two authors and their works, perhaps you should be asking yourself whether your goal in editing here is to serve Wikipedia, or if your intent is promotional.
 * Please review our guidelines in editing when you have a conflict of interest. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:22, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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. 94.197.120.23 (talk) 10:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
One or more persons with “an undisclosed connection to” Stefan Fölster and Dag Detter are editing the articles about these two people, their book The Public Wealth of Nations, and other articles associated with their work. This is an “apparent COI”. The person or persons are using the accounts Hollyeighteen, Sakakawean, Tigerinthesmoke, and Timeforteapet. As a sanction against this person or persons, I shall Min hemliga identitet (talk) 12:44, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Post this notice on the talk pages of the most important affected articles.
 * 2) Post a notice on WP:COIN.
 * 3) Delete most of the contents of these articles, since the users mentioned above use Wikipedia to promote two people and their work in clear breach of rules pertaining to COI.
