Speedy deletion of Scientific Working Group - Imaging Technologies

A tag has been placed on Scientific Working Group - Imaging Technologies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:39, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Username

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: It appears to reference the group Scientific Working Group on Imaging Technology, and as such would not be allowed under Wikipedia:Username_policy#Company.2Fgroup_names. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. Raven1977 ^{Talk to me}_{My edits} 04:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Response on username

I am the vice chair of the outreach committee of the Scientific Working Group on Imaging Technology. This committee exists to provide timely information on the use of imaging technology to law enforcement and the judicial system around the world. One of the tools to do this is to establish a presence on the web which interested parties may learn about SWGIT and follow links to the group's documents. The user name of SWGIT was chosen because this page was a collaboration of the committee. What would have been a better tact on choosing a user name? The page we created, Scientific_Working_Group_on_Imaging_Technology indicates there is a conflict of interest and a tone problem. Do you think this could be related to user SWGIT making a page entitled SWGIT? Swgit (talk) 14:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:SWGIT Logo.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:SWGIT Logo.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
