User talk:Imarapaholic

Welcome!
Hello! I'm a recent UC Berkeley grad who is very passionate about technology startups. It is my dream to one day launch my own successful tech startup.

I think Wikipedia is the best academic resource ever. The community is amazing at keeping information factual and non-biased. In terms of my contribution, I enjoy researching and writing about tech companies, as well as national parks. Alas, I am embarking on a trip to the west side of the US and plan to write more on national parks. In all my writing efforts, especially on companies, I intend to write as neutral as possible and I use as many 3rd party verified sources as I can to support the statements in the company's page. I understand that Wikipedia does not want promotional content, which is why I appreciate it when others help to add and change these pages. I do my best, but friendly editing is always welcome.

I appreciate you coming to my page and I look forward to working with you!

Cheers!

Copyright issues
Good day, I see you've reviewed a couple articles I contributed to Wikipedia and found copyright issues. Are you willing to work with me to help address these issues? To my knowledge, there is no violation of copyrighted material but I'd love to hear what you saw. I see in your notes that you stated the source wasn't directly referenced in the article - is that what's needed?

Thank you so much! Cheers Imarapaholic (talk) 17:53, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for helping me. I hear your point on creating derivatives of other people's work. How do you suggest I display these notable facts?


 * So, you've already seen some examples of what I'm talking about at Talk:Enlightenment Capital; there's no doubt that those are violations of copyright, and quite serious ones too. Just to be completely clear: you may not copy other people's copyright text into Wikipedia, and you risk being indefinitely blocked if you do; if I should happen to see that you have ever done so again after today, I intend to ask for your editing privileges to be indefinitely suspended.


 * That said, I appreciate your willingness to help sort things out now, thank you for that! The most helpful thing you can do is to go through all your edits (which luckily are not very many), and list here, on this page, any article where you copied material from your sources (if you want to list the sources you copied from too, that's also a help). We have tools to look for this kind of thing, but the person best able to identify any remaining problems is the person who created them.


 * You ask if what is needed is acknowledgement, in the article, of the source you've copied from. In short, no: for copyright material it doesn't matter how well you reference it, you can't copy it. However (this is just for future reference), if you happen to copy Public Domain – i.e., non-copyright – content (such as an official US Government publication, say), then you must provide attribution of the source.


 * If you have questions, ask away! I have this page watched, so I'll probably see anything you write here. If you want to attract my attention elsewhere, include  in what you write. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:29, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I understand perfectly. Thank you. I'll look through my contributions and see if I can find more examples. In the mean time, can you please help get Enlightenment Capital's page back up?


 * The page will be dealt with – either re-written or deleted – in due course (theoretically within a week). Unfortunately there are a LOT more copyright violations than there are people to deal with them, so there's a serious backlog. My advice: don't hold your breath! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:18, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I hope all is well with you. I removed the copyright violations from the Enlightenment Capital page and rewrote the article on the temporary page, as instructed. Could you please reach out to a colleague or admin to review it? It'd be amazing to have it up for their holidays as I've discussed it with the founder. Kindly, Imarapaholic (talk) 02:56, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Enlightenment Capital/Temp


A tag has been placed on Talk:Enlightenment Capital/Temp, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. 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 appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.pehub.com/2015/04/enlightenment-capital-seeks-125-mln-for-fund-ii/. (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.

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.
