Speedy deletion nomination of TIP TIG
Hello JP1308,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged TIP TIG 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 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ 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.

 * That's been removed, but there still appears to be some issues with the current version and the first version, which is being discussed at the teahouse. I'm going to leave a couple of detailed notices below to help you avoid future problems, don't let them worry you. Although you do need to know it is vital that you let us know if you have any relationship at all with Tig Tig. I may also have to hide the copyright violations later. Doug Weller  talk 13:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you . The TIP TIG page was my first article on Wikipedia and I made a lot of mistakes and I am still learning how to write a good article and work to help Wikipedia. I don't have a relationship to TIP TIG. I am a welding engineer and works for a welding institute. But I do like all the new welding processes like TIP TIG, Cold Metal Transfer, STT, RMD. First, I did an article on TIP TIG and worked a little bit on Cold Metal Transfer. My next steps will be doing articles for STT and RMD. Please can you help me and tell me what I have to do with the TIP TIG article making it better and to avoid the deletion. THX JP1308 (talk) 13:26, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello JP1308, and welcome to Wikipedia. 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 here.


 * 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. Doug Weller talk 13:07, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 13:08, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

Declaring any conflicts of interest
Hello JP1308. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to TIP TIG, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:JP1308. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. jcc (tea and biscuits) 14:15, 21 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for your help and your time. I am very sorry if I did something wrong. Yes, I am a welding engineer and yes, I am working for the AWS in the R&D department. Please inform yourself what the AWS stands for and what the AWS is (https://www.aws.org/). And no I DO NOT get any money from TIP TIG or any other welding company. And no I am not related to TIP TIG or any other welding company. My intention when I started to do this article was to write down all the new processes like TIP TIG, CMT, STT, RMD, etc., which came out in the last years and which have a big influence on the whole industry. At the moment I am very overstrained, so please feel free to delete the article. I am not sure if Wikipedia is the right place for me. JP1308 (talk) 15:58, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for your disclosure. What I've done is left the requisite template on the talk page, to all intents and purposes carry on as you are- your editing seems to be untainted by COI. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia, and return whenever you're ready. jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:48, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Paid editing, more on copyright
I see that you've told another editor " Another point is, that I work for the AWS and the inventor/owner of this welding process allowed us to use every kind of content/pictures/videos about TIP TIG".

That raises two issues. I'm assuming AWS is American Welding Society? You need to read WP:PAID and comply with that.

The other is that you can't use TIP TIG material on Wikipedia without TIP TIG releasing it to us themselves. Once released it can be used on Wikipedia and copied anywhere with a compatible license. Please read Copyrights.

I'm not suggesting that you've done anything wrong as you are new and won't know our policies, let alone the ones with legal effect such as the ones I've linked to in this post. Thanks. Doug Weller talk 15:54, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm sorry you're having a rough time, but no one has it in for you if that's the way you feel. I'm glad I was right about AWS. I believe what you say about yourself. We have a huge problem with undeclared paid editors (paid editing is ok so long as it complies with our policies and guidelines, undeclared breaks our terms of use) and with copyright violations. I must have spent 2 hours today working on those instead of improving articles. Take a break if you need it and come back. Your plans seem good. Doug Weller  talk 17:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
