Copyright problems
Hello. Concerning your contribution, Online video advertising, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material without the permission of the author. As a copyright violation, Online video advertising appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Online video advertising has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:


 * If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Online video advertising and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
 * If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Online video advertising with a link to where we can find that note.
 * If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on Talk:Online video advertising.

However, for text content, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia. JohnCD (talk) 14:12, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

It's not as simple as as just saying you work for them. Read WP:COPYRIGHT. You should also read the guidelines at WP:ORG, WP:ADVERT, WP:COI and WP:Business' FAQ. Articles not complying with these guidelines are likely to be deleted. The underlying theme is that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising medium or a business directory, and that you should not be writing about your own business.

Hi John, thanks so much for your patience with this. The OVA link you mentioned is one of our links going to a free downloadable pdf that educates people as to the benefits of using online video advertising. I've edited the text slightly taking out commercial references to Utarget, but the text itself is ok to use, or at least I thought it was. I'm not linking this article to the OVA external link, so surely this is ok??

Any assistance you could give me would be greatly appreciated as I am almost brand new to Wikipedia.

Thanks, Anthony.


 * I'm not an expert on this - WP:COPYRIGHT and other guidelines it links to are the authorities. Wikipedia is published under the GNU Free Documentation License or GFDL, which means (roughly) that anyone can copy it and use it for any purpose subject only to conditions including passing the same rights on. So it's not enough just to say "I agree to WP publishing this". If you control the web-site where the material is published, and you include on the web-site the statement that re-use of the contents is permitted under the GFDL, then there shouldn't be a problem - that's the second of the three bullet-points in the "Copyright Problems" paragraph above. Otherwise, you need to follow the instructions under one of the other two bullet points. JohnCD (talk) 15:31, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I see what you're getting at John. It's too late today to add the GNU clause to the site today, but one of our developers has promised me this will go up on Monday. Can you leave this entry up over the weekend as redoing all this will take a long time. I will also be working on the rest of the warning messages on Monday, thank you so much for your assistance on this and have a great weekend.

Other issues with Online video advertising
Concerning the other problems of the article, you can read Help:Section, they are too many sections, it would be good to add subsections instead, and to remove the all caps. Other editors will be reluctant to do this because of the copyright problem. Concerning the references, see Citing sources. Except that, the subject of the article seems to be notable, it would be good to link this with online advertising. And please, sign your comments on talk pages with four tildes like this ~.

Too many rules and regulations and hoops to jump through, and not enough time to keep up with all this. Wikipedia will have to wait Utargetppc (talk) 12:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
