Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page General Architecture for Text Engineering, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes.

General Architecture for Text Engineering

Feel free to reinstate it, but please put it in only if it is the official site (in accordance with WP:EL) and in an external links section at the bottom of the page. Also, I am curious. Based on your message to me it seems that you may be an employee of General Architecture for Text Engineering. We have a policy about conflicts of interest, when editors edit articles to things like their own band, a company they work for, or so forth. If you are an employee, please try to keep the policy for a neutral point of view in mind when editing and try to avoid weasel words and peacock terms.

Thank you for your interest in keeping the article up to date. I will try and pop in to see how it is developing and fix anything that resembles advertising. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a note that information from the site http://gate.ac.uk/family/coming-soon/ is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence so that other editors do not revert your edit like I did (but later restored). I had feared that it was a copyright violation. My bad. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:01, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After looking for more information, I found here that a non-commercial license is not suitable with Wikipedia's copyright policy and cannot be copied freely. Wikipedia's text is not limited to non-commercial uses so moving it would violate that policy. As such, I am going to have to remove the section you added and ask that you rewrite the information in your own words. Thanks! Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:17, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged the section as a possible copyright violation for review by another editor. As I have noted above, the fact that our license is not non-commercial makes the licenses incompatible (per the SA clause in the license). If GATE.ac.uk wants to allow Wikipedia to use the information, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:12, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry that you feel that way. As I mentioned above, I am not an expert in copyright law. To be honest, my major is in literature. However, I have attempted to be straightforward but polite with my concerns. Because you raised a good point at my talk page, I attempted to ask for a second, more expert opinion, with the tag on the main article page for editors who regularly look for copyright violations and would be more expert than I. I did not mean to insinuate that you were "somehow not begin open about (your) interest in the page." I was just concerned that the fact that Wikipedia allows commercial use would violate GATE.ac.uk's Creative Commons license.

With the rewrite, all of the copyright concerns are rendered moot. Thank you, and sorry for wasting your time. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
