This is an automated message from VWBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dr. Tetsuya Okamura, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.sumitomo-shi-demag.eu/company/management/vita_okamura/.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Shaun Dean


A tag has been placed on Shaun Dean requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image 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 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.

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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Sesamevoila (talk) 07:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. You might have noticed that they have been deleted because you essentially cut and pasted from your organisations website which brings your actions in conflict with quite a few of Wikipedia's policies which you can find below. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified 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! Sesamevoila (talk) 07:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Copyright and what Wikipedia is.
Hi Sumito Demag!

You say that you can add copyrighted texts to Wikipedia, because you are from the company that owns the copyright, but it's not that easy. This is not you, this is Wikipedia. It's not your site, it is everybody's site. Therefore you can't take copyrighted texts and add them here, as that would mean Wikipedia violates your copyright.

That you claim to work for the copyright owner makes no difference. It is also something you just claim, but we can't verify that. We only have your words for that. In fact, it is a problem if you work for the company in question, as it creates a wp:conflict of interest.

You also refer to articles as "sites", and maybe that's the base of the misunderstanding. This is not a place for you to create your sites, it is an encyclopedia that is created together. --OpenFuture (talk) 08:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Blocked as a company account
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose - Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing directory, and is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia, but I am afraid you have the wrong idea about it. It seems you are approaching it as a "noticeboard" site like Myspace onto which to pin copies of material from your company's website; but it is quite different, it is a project to build an encyclopedia, and is not for company announcements or for any kind of advertising or promotion. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard for more explanation.

As an employee of Sumitomo you have from our point of view, in writing about the company and its people, a Conflict of interest, and should read that guideline and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. Those guidelines will still apply to you if you set up an individual account.

We cannot accept copyright material on the basis that someone on the end of a wire says he has permission: it is essential that the actual copyright holder makes a formal copyright release, as described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials. In practice that is very seldom worth doing, because material written for company websites usually has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view.

Also, Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles, and simply copying from your website will not provide the references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" which are necessary to establish Notability.

There is more guidance at the WP:FAQ/Organizations, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and WP:Notability (people). JohnCD (talk) 19:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
