User talk:KingstonCC

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:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * 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 possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sock puppetry.
 * 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.

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). Again, welcome!

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

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) 07:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Railect


A tag has been placed on Railect 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.

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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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:Listusers 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, please see how to appeal a block. JohnCD (talk) 10:56, 27 January 2011 (UTC) The issues here are: JohnCD (talk) 11:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Your talk page note indicates that you are Kingston Computer Consultancy Ltd. Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them; accounts representing a group or company are not allowed.
 * Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, even of worthy causes: even as an individual, if you write about your company's projects you have a conflict of interest.
 * Assertion of permission to reproduce material is not enough; because of Wikipedia's license terms it is essential that a formal copyright release is made as described above. In any case, copied material is often unsuitable for an encyclopedia article; Wikipedia is not a notice-board, and notability has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See WP:Your first article for general advice.

Att : JohnCD, blocked account
KingstonCC (talk) 09:38, 14 April 2011 (UTC)KingstonCC Dear JohnCD,

I would like to request our wikipedia account be unblocked and that the Railect page entry be published. The account and page was created on instruction by the owners of the Railect website (the Railect consortium listed at http://www.railect.com) and the EU REA who partially funded this FP7 research project. The wikipedia page is intended to disseminate the findings of the project, as is set out in the project objectives. The page is not intended to infringe copyright, or spam or otherwise conflict with wikipedia guidelines.

My email address is bjorn@kccltd.com, our company details may be found on our website http://www.kccltd.com

May we request that this matter be looked into as soon as possible please, many thanks

Regards Bjorn Liebenberg


 * I do not think you can have read the red block notice, and my advice, above: I will repeat the essential points.


 * I am afraid Wikipedia is not very good at explaining in advance what it is and, more particularly, what it is not. There are many internet sites which will be happy to accept pieces "created on instruction" by companies, but Wikipedia is not one of them: it is a collaborative project to build an encyclopedia, and in order to be a useful encyclopedia, and because of its open license, its rules include:


 * User accounts must be for individuals only; accounts whose usernames are, or appear to be, those of groups or organisations are not permitted. That is why your account is blocked, and will not be unblocked except as a result of a request to change username, as explained in the block notice in the red box above.


 * For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material unless a formal copyright release has been made, as explained at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. Mere assertion of permission to use is not enough: for one thing, we have no way to know that someone on the end of a wire is who he says he is, and for another, release to Wikipedia involves giving permission to other users to copy, amend and re-use the material for any purpose, including commercial, and it is essential that the copyright owner understands and agrees to this.


 * Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, even of worthy causes. Contributors who have a connection with their subject are considered to have a conflict of interest and should comply with the restrictions explained in Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest - in brief, propose changes or articles rather than making them, and let uninvolved users decide whether they are appropriate. Even if you change username to an individual account, in writing about your company's concerns you would still be subject to these rules.


 * Wikipedia is selective about article subjects: the inclusion criterion is called notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people unconnected with the subject thought it important and significant enough to write substantial comment on? That may mean that a new initiative or a new organisation will not qualify, but Wikipedia is not a notice-board for announcements.


 * Please read all this carefully. You may find Your first article and User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard useful. If you think you can provide independent references to establish notability of the Railect project, and you want to proceed, file an unblock request as described in the block notice in the red box above.
