Speedy deletion nomination of Professor Poh
Hello Wci03,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Professor Poh for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Wci03, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to World Certification Institute has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cindy ( talk ) 08:14, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Your addition to World Certification Institute has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ''Please note that while you have indicated that you desire to donate this content by sending authorization to the OTRS team, no correspondence was found. At the same time, while you may wish to donate this material, we cannot use the content, due to the blatant promotional nature and tone. Donating material does not allow us to forgo ensuring that articles refrain from promoting individuals, organizations, or entities in any form. In any case, do not recreate this article until authorization is secured from the copyright owner and verified through OTRS. If you have questions, please feel free to drop me a line. You may also content me once you have sent in a letter of authorization to OTRS. At that point, I will verify the assertion of ownership and desire to donate the material. If it can be verified, I will be happy to document the required notations to allow the content. '' Cindy  ( talk ) 06:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

I have now protected the above article from further creation. This has been done due to the repeated creation of blatant promotional content, which also contained significant copyright violations in whole and in part from the organization's website. While you have stated that permission was sent to OTRS, an agent replied to your message stating that authorization could not yet be verified. At the same time, the article was wholly promotional, serving the purposes of the subject of the article, rather than that of the encyclopedia. Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. Please review the policy pertaining to conflicts of interest. Your attempts to promote your organization is addressed in this policy, which focuses on an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor. Conflict of interest editing involves contributing to Wikipedia to promote your own interests, including your business or financial interests. Rather than respond to these concerns, you chose to disregard them, then simply recreated the article. At this point, I recommend that NOT create this article in the mainspace again. Any other administrator would likely have blocked your editing privileges due to the disruptive editing and persistent failure to follow policies pertaining to advertising and copyright violations. If you wish to retain an article about your company in the encyclopedia, you need to write it in your own words, making sure to refrain from using material that merely serves to promote the organization. You may create a draft in a subpage of your userspace, for example at User:Wci03/World Certification Institute. You may also contact me if you have additional questions. I am sincerely more than happy to help. That said, you need to take a step back and review the links and information I've provided, in order to ensure that your continued participation in the project is in compliance with community guidelines.

Talk:World Certification Institute
I've just deleted and blocked creation of the article talk page for World Certification Institute. You've asked if the content is approved. Unfortunately, we are unable to restore or retain this article in the encyclopedia due to blatant promotional content. I've provided instruction in the notice directly above, as well as through email sent to the OTRS system. You have failed to respond. Please understand that the encyclopedia has policies and guidelines which govern promotional content and use of legally protected material. While I am able to verify permission to use the material from your website, it is wholly promotional, lacking in neutrality. I recommend a review of the notability guidelines for organizations, as found at WP:ORG. At this point, the proposed article is only sourced to the organization's website. Notability must be established through significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. For encyclopedia purposes, it matters little what the organization says about itself. We need to know what reliable, reputable, and independent entities have said about the organization. Again, I have offered guidance above. I enjoy helping out new editors, but at this point, the ball is entirely in your court. Best regards, Cindy  ( talk ) 17:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SIPMM (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on SIPMM (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 "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.

August 2017 - done due to the repeated creation of blatant promotional content, which also contained significant copyright violations in whole and in part from the organization's website
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  14:40, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
