Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Baton Rouge Metro Council


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Baton Rouge Metro Council 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. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://brgov.com/dept/council/default.asp. 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 15:47, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, CityofBR. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 15:47, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Reliable sources
Hi, I've reverted your most recent edits because you used other Wikipedia articles as sources, which is not allowed, per WP:WPNOTRS. Along with some concerns re: WP:COI and WP:COPYRIGHT, it's advisable that you read Wikipedia's guidelines in order to contribute productively. Thanks, 76.248.151.159 (talk) 20:19, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * After poring over a few more of your contributions to Baton Rouge, it appears likely that at least some of your edits there also copied content verbatim from other websites. Eventually all such edits will be reverted; I'll seek further assistance from an administrator. In the future, please be aware that accounts that persist in copyright violations may be blocked. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 20:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. 76.248.151.159 (talk) 17:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

User name issue
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CityofBR", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies that you are, or are representing, a group or organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, CityofBR, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Daniel Case (talk) 17:39, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Your attention needed at WP:CHU
Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. You need to choose another user name as the one you have requested is already taken. Thank you.  ·addshore·  talk to me! 16:01, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * The discussion got archived over the weekend (see []) Your requested name is in use on the Spanish language wikipedia and you will need to request a different name on the live name change request page Changing username/Simple. Thanks-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  18:45, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi! You don't need to request another username&mdash;the one you have now seems fine. Of course, if you wish to change your username again, you are welcome to do so.

I'm guessing you put the unblock request on here because the MediaWiki software had automatically blocked your IP address. I have cleared this automatic block, so you should be able to edit now. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them on my talk page. Good luck! Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:04, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Please stop attempting to use Wikipedia to promote your employers. In relation to the article on Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the council member's importance rates only their names. If you keep spamming non encyclopedic content, you will be blocked again. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  19:34, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
