Your contributed article, Black Book Research


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Black Book Research. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Black Book (company). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Black Book (company). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Grayfell (talk) 23:38, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Attribution, copyright, etc.
Hello. Wikipedia has some arcane but fairly strict rules regarding attribution. For both legal and philosophical reasons, articles must preserve their contributor histories whenever possible. Copy/pasting an article and then rewriting it destroys that history. Please carefully review Copying within Wikipedia.

Additionally, creating a new article with the specific intent of then nominating the original article for deletion is unacceptably disruptive. Why wouldn't you just edit the original article?

Finally, if you are connected to Black Book, you may have a conflict of interest. Please read about that here: WP:COI. If you are compensated for editing Wikipedia, you must disclose that per Paid-contribution disclosure. This is not optional.

Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 23:45, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you!
The paid contribution part makes perfect sense- thank you for letting me know! I'll handle that immediately following this message.

The company prefers to go by the name "Black Book Research," hence the new article. There were issues with the previous editor or the "Black Book" page and it was thought that it was easier to start fresh. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so I didn't realize that would be an issue. I'll definitely be aware for next time!

Thanks again!
