Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Orphaned non-free image File:MASB marketing metric audit protocol.png
 Thanks for uploading File:MASB marketing metric audit protocol.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:06, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Marketing Metric Audit Protocol (MMAP)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Marketing Metric Audit Protocol (MMAP), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.themasb.org/about/mmap.

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) 17:48, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Marketing Metric Audit Protocol (MMAP)


A tag has been placed on Marketing Metric Audit Protocol (MMAP) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hello Karenmharvey. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest, or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * 1) Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * 2) Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Beloved Freak  18:40, 16 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Please categorize your articles. -- T HE F OUNDERS I NTENT  PRAISE 21:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. The owners of the copy must give mre than permission to use the contents on Wikipedia, They must explicitly license the rights to the material according to our licensing, using the CC-BY-SA  and the GNU  licenses, as explained in WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:Donating copyrighted materials; they must be aware that these licenses  give everyone in the world an irrevocable license to reuse and alter the material, even for commercial purposes.


 * But even with permission, the material will need to be rewritten in proper form, It will need to indicate by quotation marks exactly what material is taken from the book. It will need to give references to other publications by other people. And it should be written in paragraphs, not bullet points like a classroom or sales presentation. You may find it easier to rewrite from scratch, using the book and other books as sources, and avoiding WP:Close paraphrase also.

'''I now suspect that every article to which you use this book as the primary reference is copyvio from it. If you tell me this is not correct, though it will be a bit of a nuisance finding the book to see if it so,   I shall either do it myself or  ask for assistance. I give you a week's grace to send the proper OTRS statements, put them on the pages, and add the quotation marks. I shall otherwise either delete them directly, or list these articles on the appropriate noticeboard here, and ask for opinions. If you have been adding copyvios in this manner and do not fix them, you will be blocked from contributing.  DGG ( talk ) 18:21, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

promotional reference
In any case, kindly stop including the phrase " The Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB) endorses the definitions, purposes, and constructs of classes of measures that appear in Marketing Metrics as part of its ongoing Common Language: Marketing Activities and Metrics Project" in references to "Marketing Metrics". "  This sort of linking is considered promotionalism.  I have removed it from a few articles, and I would like you to go back and remove it from everywhere it appears.

Is this book an official publication of theirs,  or do they merely endorse various textbooks? If it is an official publication, you can discuss it in the article on them. If they endorse various textbooks, I sew no direct of saying it. You could add to the article on it a reference, to the list of textbooks they endorse.--not a list of them.

Sales territory
Hello. Copyright concerns with this article were raised at the copyright problems board: Copyright problems/2012 January 21. I've removed the text you added, as I'm afraid that we are not able to construct articles by lifting quotes from copyrighted works. While our copyright policies do permit brief quotations, quotations must be used transformatively in order to meet the fair use allowances of the United States. They should be used to build and expand on their sources, not simply to abridge them. Please see Copy-paste for how information should be used from previously published sources.

All that said, I see from a note you left for User:DGG that the publishers of the book would like to make it open source. If they do so, then material can certainly be included without copyright concern. The best way to do this is to have a representative of Pearson Education, who publish the book, mail a general license release of the book to the Wikimedia Foundation. Please see Declaration of consent for all enquiries.

If they do this, if you let me know, I'll be able to restore the text.

Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:51, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB)
This one was also raised at the copyright problems board. I've had to blank the article, I'm afraid, since much of the content is taken from the official site and publications such as. This one should be substantially easier to address than the book issue. If you can have somebody from an address listed here contact the Wikimedia Foundation to license the material on the website and the pdf so that the content can be used in the article, we can swiftly restore the material. Please make sure that they specify the PDF as well as the website. The form to use, again, is at Declaration of consent for all enquiries. If you have any questions about the process, you're very welcome to come by my talk page, and I will help you through it. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:12, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
