User talk:IEASSA
- Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of International Efficient Agriculture Solutions and Standards Association, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://ieassa.org/en/about-association/about-us/.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 14:13, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of International Efficient Agriculture Solutions and Standards Association
[edit]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 International Efficient Agriculture Solutions and Standards Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. 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 or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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.

Response to contested deletion
[edit]Hi. The article you created is likely going to be speedily deleted, so I thought I would respond to your comments from the talk page here. There are a number of problems which need to be addressed.
- Your username is an acronym of "International Efficient Agriculture Solutions and Standards Association", which implies that your account represents the group. This is a violation of Wikipedia's username policy (WP:ORGNAME) and these accounts are almost always blocked outright. Accounts can only represent an individual - if you wish to change your username to make it conform to the username policy, go here.
- You have declared an affiliation with the organization, which puts you in a conflict of interest (COI) position. COI editors are not forbidden from creating or editing articles with which they are connected, but they must be open about their affiliation and pledge to make edits that are neutral and verifiable by reliable sources. COI editors will often find themselves subjected to a higher level of scrutiny than uninvolved editors, because of the risk of bias and/or promotional intent. The plain and simple conflict of interest guide is a good place to start for learning about edits to subjects with which you're connected.
- The subject you write about must be notable for it to be considered worthy of inclusion. From WP:ORG: "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it." Sor far, the references you provided are to your own organization's website, which is a primary source, and not sufficient proof that the organization is notable (WP:ENN).
- You stated that you are the copyright owner of the material, but that alone is not sufficient proof that you are who you say you are. You must follow the steps at Donating copyrighted materials to donate copyrighted material, which involves several steps to prove that you are indeed the legitimate copyright holder and officially release the material for free use here.
Hopefully you aren't discouraged by the multitude of rules, but they do exist to keep Wikipedia a place for information about notable subjects that are reliably sourced by neutral parties. The Teahouse is also a good place for new editors who are overwhelmed and need help, so I encourage you to try it out. Good luck. --Drm310 (talk) 16:09, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Notice
[edit]If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
below this notice.
{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
below this notice instead. Thank you. As noted above, Wikipedia accounts are meant to represent one person and one person only; accounts that use the mane of an organization (like yours) make it look like it's an account that is controlled by multiple people. Although I did find it necessary to delete the page mentioned above, as well, please note that this isn't a block because you did anything wrong! Mistakes like these happen all the time, and we won't hold it against you. If you have another username in mind that would represent you specifically as a person, you can either post it here, or just go ahead and make a new account using that new name, and you're free to continue editing. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 16:36, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
