- Welcome!
Hello, Dwinters21, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.
Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!
P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.
Hello Dwinters21,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, Prozess Technologie, may be copied from http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/7/prweb9717368.htm. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 21:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

I am one of the web masters for Prozesstech.com and all I would like to do is create a page for my company, Prozess Technologie on Wikipedia. To stay consistent with all of our messages and branding, we wanted to use the same information from our 'About Us' Page from our Corporate Website. 15:07, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

- I'm sorry, that's impossible, for several reasons. First, all content submitted to the site must be released under a creative commons license, essentially allowing other users to change it at will. Since the content is up on your website, it's copyright your web site, thus disallowing it to be used on Wikipedia because of the license mismatch. Second, Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a promotional avenue. Third, you have a conflict of interest in your company, which means you can't really be neutral when writing about them. If you'd like an article written about your company written, the best way to do so is the requested articles process. ~ Matthewrbowker Talk to me 20:44, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
- Note that I did try to explain all of this to Dwinters21 two days ago when the article was originally deleted. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 21:07, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Prozess Technologie
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Prozess Technologie requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mean as custard (talk) 20:57, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
