User talk:Seaward Electronic Ltd.

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!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Seaward Electronic Ltd., and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.electronicsarena.co.uk/companies/seaward-electronic-ltd.

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.

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Seaward Electronic Ltd.", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 17:54, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The text would still be a copyright violation because Seaward Electronic Ltd. has not explicitly licensed the content under a compatible license on its website. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Users 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.) As for your company not having an article, please read Notability (organizations and companies). Not every company, person, artist, artwork, event, or website can have a Wikipedia article. This site is not a business directory, an index, or a collection of marketing brochures. The only subjects that can have articles are those with significant in-depth coverage from published, reliable, third-party sources. If your subject does not yet have this kind of coverage from independent sources, then you should wait until a later time to consider requesting the creation of an article. For practical advice, read WP:PSCOI. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 16:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I would have used the spam username block, myself, as the text in the article was straight PR stuff - which is what a company site is for, but not an encyclopaedia article. There would be no point in licensing it as it would be deleted fairly quickly anyway. Dodi 8238 is correct about the matter of copyright, by the way. I would also point out that turnover is not a criterion we use for assessing notability. There are many highly profitable companies that are virtually unknown outside a very small circle of buyers and suppliers (and the Infernal Revenue. One I can recall had products in millions of American homes - but as these were own brand goods for chain stores, nothing had their name on it. A company like that only achieves notability (our definition) when something goes seriously awry. Wikipedia is not a directory or social media. There is no 'right ' to have an article, even if a company's three main competitors do (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) - we catch up with some things that slipped through when company A complains that B and C and D have articles. Sometimes all of them get deleted that way. Do please remember too that even you may start an article, you do not own it or control it. If there's a skeleton in the cupboard that obviously will be kept off your website, it may still appear in the article if someone adds it with reliable sources. On Facebook, only you can edit the page (barring hacking activity...). Here, anyone not blocked or banned can edit. Peridon (talk) 17:49, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
