User talk:KopyC

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 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 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.
 * 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). Again, welcome!

Gridcoin
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Gridcoin, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://coinwiki.info/en/Gridcoin.

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) 11:48, 27 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gridcoin


A tag has been placed on Gridcoin, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Reply to your message at Talk:Gridcoin
Your article was deleted as promotional. "With gridcoin, not only will you be rewarded with GRC - you'll be helping to solve some of humanity's biggest problems... " That's not an encyclopedia article, it's a sales pitch - not surprisingly, as the article is a straight copy from http://www.gridcoin.us/.

Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material - please read Copying text from other sources. Assertion of permission to use is not enough: a formal copyright release from the actual copyright owner is required, as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials.

That is not usually worth doing, because copying an organization's own promotional material does not make an acceptable encyclopedia article. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for background. In particular, an article requires a WP:Neutral point of view, and references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criterion, known as Notability.

If you are connected with Gridcoin, please read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

As a previous article about Gridcoin was deleted in March after a deletion discussion at Articles for deletion/Gridcoin, you should not in any case post a new article directly. If you can provide references to show notability, your best course is to read WP:Your first article and then work on the existing draft at Draft:Gridcoin, which seems to be a copy of the article later deleted at the AfD discussion. Then approach the administrator who closed the discussion, user for permission to post it. He will need to be satisfied that your draft overcomes the reasons for deletion. If Stifle does not agree, you can apply at WP:Deletion review. JohnCD (talk) 16:20, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
