Speedy deletion nomination of Latinitas, Inc.


A tag has been placed on Latinitas, Inc. 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". 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 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.

February 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (LatinitasInc) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Latinitas, Inc.. Thank you. Singularity42 (talk) 20:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

This page may be helpful
Please start reading at Copyrights. Releasing material to Wikipedia releases it under particular licencing arrangements and this is a good page to start on. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:01, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Then read Donating copyrighted materials Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:02, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * But, also note, even if the material is released appropriately it still may not be suitable for Wikipedia - it is very likely not to have a neutral point of view and may even amount to advertising/promotion which is not permitted on Wikipedia. – ukexpat (talk) 21:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, be aware that once text is placed here, it is out of your control. See WP:OWN - no-one owns an article. As it stands, it is as promotional as I would expect from an 'official site'. (Well, that's what 'official' sites are for...) However, Wikipedia is not for promotion, no matter how noble the cause, and your wording is such that I would normally delete it on sight. So, basically no. You cannot achieve unity of your branding and have an article here. Not unless you change the whole of the rest of your stuff to fit our policies. And even then, remember that anyone (barring those banned or blocked) can edit. It may be a tweak here, and a reword there, but the article WILL drift from your original. I would advise you to change your username, by the way. WP:USERNAME says that usernames should appear to represent organisations, and it seems that 'apparent' isn't the word here. My normal reaction would be to block. I'm too tired. Go to WP:CHU before someone else does block you. Peridon (talk) 22:07, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

You can't do that here
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you.

Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  02:01, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
