Hello, Spfrancisdass. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2019 (UTC)


 * It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. Certainly we can't accept content published on a web age which has a copyright notice saying "All rights reserved.", as was the case with the content you copied to the drafts you created. I notice that some, though not all, of the content you copied had been somewhat rephrased. However, under US copyright law material almost always infringes copyright if it is close enough to the version it is copied from that anyone seeing the two versions side by side can tell that one is derived from the other, even if the wording is not identical.


 * Even had there been no copyright problem, the drafts you created would not have been suitable as Wikipedia articles, for several reasons, including the fact that it gave no indication that the organisation satisfied Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and the fact that the drafts were merely a list of bullet points, not a coherent connected account of what its subject was. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start. Obviously that advice may not appeal to you if you are only here in order to publicise your business and its programs, but in that case you should not be using Wikipedia to do so anyway.

Hello, Spfrancisdass. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, User:Spfrancisdass/sandbox/Certified Cyber Security Architect&.

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 00:11, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
