Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Finnov with this edit, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello AlexTaffetani. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Finnov, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. —C.Fred (talk) 18:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Donation of content?
Re this message you left at Talk:FINNOV:


 * I do have permission to use the content of the FINNOV webpage because I work with the team and I have been asked to create a page in accordance with our policies.

What evidence do we have of that permission? Looking at the FINNOV homepage, there is no statement regarding the licensing terms for text on the website. Wikipedia assumes all such text to be under copyright and an all-rights-reserved license. To use the text on Wikipedia, we will need evidence that the text is a WP:Free content—that it is in the public domain (and may be reproduced and used by any party, for any reason) or under Creative Commons and GFDL licenses (and may be reproduce and used by any party, for any reason, with attribution (and nothing else) due back to the rightsholder).

To get this evidence, either FINNOV needs to add a license statement to the bottom of the website noting text is in the public domain or under CC/GFDL licenses, or somebody from FINNOV must email the volunteer response team and indicate that the material has been donated. Please note that granting a free license is irrevocable: once the text is so licensed, it is free for any derivative use, including commercial reuse.

Once that hurdle is cleared, the text in the article is still subject to editing by other editors. Any user may make additions, changes, or deletions to the article, so long as they are made within Wikipedia's guidelines. Frankly, some edits will probably be necessary, to make sure the text is written from a neutral point of view, since you have already admitted a conflict of interest with the subject. It is even possible that the article will still be deleted, if FINNOV is measured against Wikipedia's standards for notable organizations and found not to be sufficiently notable.

Please let me know what next steps you plan to take. If you plan on having someone from FINNOV send an email to Wikipedia, make sure that is noted at Talk:Finnov. —C.Fred (talk) 18:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Regarding the coi tag at the top of Finnov, you may not remove that tag. The tag is in place because of your editing of the article and relationship with the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 16:03, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mariana Mazzucato


The article Mariana Mazzucato has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Jamietw (talk) 12:51, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of FINNOV


The article FINNOV has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Ephemeral project. No independent sources about it. Does not meet WP:GNG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of FINNOV


A tag has been placed on FINNOV 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Pichpich (talk) 12:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

A couple of comments about your attempt to create an article about FINNOV.
You started by copy and pasting material that was subject to copyright, then started rewording it.

There are three problems with this:
 * 1) Copies of material subject to copyright are a problem EVEN when the words are in earlier versions of an article. Too often, an existing article is now in fine shape, but admins have to do selective deletion of prior versions to eliminate copyright violations. This is hard work, and should not be necessary.
 * 2) Changing some of the words isn't enough. There were still many long sections of word-for-word copies from the original.
 * 3) Even if all the individual words are changed, the process of simply rewording the text may preserve the overall structure of the original, and that may be a problem. Opinions vary on how serious this problem may be, but we want to err on the side of caution.

A better approach is to find more than one source (always desirable), then, put them aside, and write about the subject in one's own words. After writing, return to the original text, and determine whether it is too close (if you have a better memory than I do), or if some points would be better made by an explicit quote and attribution, with the quote suitably short.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  12:40, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

FINNOV permission
Sorry, it may sound odd that you have to provide permission to use your own words, but there are two reason for this:

First, we don't know that the editor of a Wikipedia article is the same as the author of the words. This is deliberate, to allow editors to be anonymous if they choose. Second, many people write words in the course of employment or a contract, and may not be the copyright holder. Both both of these reasons, we need a permission statement on file form the copyright-holder.

Please see Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries for the desired wording to be filed by the copyright holder. When that is received, I can restore the article.-- SPhilbrick (Talk)  15:37, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
