Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Sophia Grojsman article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

 * Hi Jamie, I have just noticed that this article was deleted 3 times for the same reason. The original copyrighted text you are referring to belongs to my company Shaping Room LLC. So, there wouldn't be a copyright infringement issue here, but how should I prove it to you? --shapingroom 09:16, 23 July 23 (UTC)


 * First, add a message to the talk page for the article letting editors know that you are the owner of the text and that you release it to Wikipedia under the GFDL. Following that, you should be able to recreate the page. See WP:COPYRIGHT for more info. Thanks, OhNo itsJamie Talk 15:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much! --shapingroom 04:56, 23 July 23 (UTC)


 * Hi. Just wondering if this account in fact belongs to Ms Grojsman. If so, I would like to give you a message. FNMF 05:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

What We Do Is Secret (company) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, What We Do Is Secret (company), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. – NJD-DE (talk) 16:01, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022
Hello Shapingroom. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Shapingroom. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. – NJD-DE (talk) 16:01, 23 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello NJD-DE, I am not receiving compensation for the article you have moved to drftspace. I own the trademark What We Do IS Secret in IC3 in the US and other countries and the name has been the legal DBA of my company for many years in NY State. WhatWeDoISSecret.org has been online since 2004 but lately more other people are using the name in other categories (music, movie and novelty items). The purpose of creating the page is to help avoid further confusions with the name and our trademark. I hope this explains to clarify your doubt and conflict with Wikipedia's policy regarding the article I created. Shapingroom (talk) 16:40, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding your reason for creating this page: Wikipedia is not the trademark office and it's not a webhost either. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that states what is reported by independent, reliable sources. If you have trademark issues a lawyer will be the better option than creating pages here.
 * As owner of that trademark you do clearly have a financial interest, and as such a conflict of interest exists. Paid editing does not necessarily require receiving direct contributions for edits to Wikipedia. Please take the appropriate steps as outlined at the relevant policy WP:PAID before editing any further. Thanks. – NJD-DE (talk) 17:29, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
