Caplin Systems

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Caplin Systems, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.caplin.com/?curcat_id=1. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

I work for Caplin Systems and added the page using some text from our website. I wasnt aware this was against any rules at the time. I'd seen other companies with wikipedia pages about them so thought it was normal. Martintyler (talk) 13:27, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Caplin Systems

A tag has been placed on Caplin Systems requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant 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.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The main theme of the COI page seems to be that you shouldnt be self promoting. When talking about adding links to products or articles it does not say that is not allowed, but that it should be relevant to the article. I'm not sure how you expect some topics to have anything useful on them if you exclude anyone with any kind of COI if your definition is simply someone that is involved in said topic. I do not feel I have a COI, I have added links to my product where there was already a list of products relevant to the article, but i would never start off a list like that, as i would see that as self promoting and unnecessary.
