Welcome!

Hello, AIHA3141, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as American industrial hygiene association, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Speedy deletion nomination of American industrial hygiene association

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on American industrial hygiene association, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://www.aiha.org/about-aiha/Press/Documents/2013%20AIHA%20FACT%20SHEET.pdf. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

I read your post in which you asked admins not to delete the page because you are working on it. But, the page was copy-pasted from a copyrighted source, which is not allowed and is also illegal. Copyright violations have to be deleted immediately. You may not copy materiel that is copyrighted (See: WP:COPYPASTE). Vanjagenije (talk) 18:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest message

Hello, thanks for your edits to Wikipedia. I think you may have a bit of a problem for editing articles because you have a conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can't edit Wikipedia, but it means that you need to disclose this clearly when making changes, and avoid making any edits that could be seen as promotional. You should avoid posting any generic "about us" material to Wikipedia, and make sure not to post any pre-written text that has been copyrighted - Wikipedia can't accept this, even if it's also your writing.

One problem with the article is that it doesn't prove that your organisation is notable - you might want to add independent citations discussing its work to make sure that it doesn't get deleted.

You also might want to change your username. Wikipedia doesn't allow accounts that sound like they belong to a company or a department, only ones that belong to specific people, so might want to change to an account that's specific to you and you alone, say "NicolaSmith@AIHA".

Below I add an automated message about this. Please let me know if you have any questions. Blythwood (talk) 18:39, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AIHA3141. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
