Speedy deletion nomination of Balance Transaction Reporting Standard (BTRS)


A tag has been placed on Balance Transaction Reporting Standard (BTRS) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://x9.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/X9-121-2015-BTRS-Version-3.pdf. 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 or other printed material 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Stevens803. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article ASC X9, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:59, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi JJMC89, Thank you for the information. However, I would like to point out that all I was doing was creating the basic page with a short introduction and was waiting on others subject matter experts that had agreed to edit the page to provide their input but the page keeps getting deleted before they have a chance to add their input. On the last page that was created as a draft, I provide this information but even the draft was deleted before anybody else had time to edit it. ASC X9 is an open consensus standards body, accredited by ANSI, with over 450 volunteers that develop standards used by the financial services industry. That sounds a little like Wikipedia. We have receive a number requests for information on several of our standards, BTRS being one of them, and we thought it might be a good thing to put some information on Wikipedia for people who were looking for information to find and understand the technology. We are seriously rethinking our original thought because it seems Wikipedia is not interested in open consensus standards or work from at least our volunteer organizations. Several of members told me not to bother with you but I said I wanted to try. Thank you for your time but I don't believe we can work with Wikipedia's current atmosphere that is hostile to our type of information. If you know a way for this to work for us, I would really like to know. I am willing to give it one last try but only if there is a reasonable chance of success.
