Speedy deletion nomination of PCI Media Impact

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 PCI Media Impact, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may 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 http://mediaimpact.org/who-we-are/. (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.

• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 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 deleted 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. Cabayi (talk) 17:16, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Copyright infringement

I can see that you are a new editor, but you need to know that Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. You must not copy and paste text from sources you find on the web into articles as you did in the article David Poindexter. I have removed the infringing text, but the material you copied is subject to copyright, as is almost everything on the web, and when creating or expanding articles, you should completely rewrite the information from the source using your own words. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:16, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback; will keep in mind for the future to make the sentences as unique as possible. Gentle (talk) 10:51, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Halation-before-after-simulation-digital-imitation-film-highlight-rolloff.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Halation-before-after-simulation-digital-imitation-film-highlight-rolloff.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:30, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:StrivePoster 5-11-2019 alt-laurels.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:StrivePoster 5-11-2019 alt-laurels.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:07, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

edit fragment?

One of your July 25 2019 edits to the Henry Wickham page appears to be incomplete. This is the text you inserted at the end of a sentence:

- essentially limiting the South American pioneership in rubber production to 

Is something supposed to come after the "to", or is the "to" itself superfluous?

Prodigium Pictures moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Prodigium Pictures, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. CUPIDICAE💕 15:22, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you again for the guidance - I tried learning from people in the teahouse and made sure to remove anything that felt not reliable or independent, and resubmitted it through the official draft process! Gentle (talk) 02:27, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

COI

Given your direct conflict of interest please refrain from editing articles directly where your COI applies and instead make edit requests as per WP:COI. CUPIDICAE💕 15:54, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you - I'll look into how to do this and will do that moving forward. Even many years later, there's still so much to learn on Wikipedia! Gentle (talk) 21:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

March 2022

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Prodigium Pictures. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:09, 21 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the note! I studied up, visited the tea house and made sure to remove anything that felt unnecessary and took out all sources that had any connection with the organization. Gentle (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
