How did the California State Water Resources Control Board differ from the Wiki Page for the California Department of Water Resources http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Water_Resources? Robertwebsupport (talk) 17:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because that page is informational, not promotional. I don't think you're taking the time to familiarize yourself with our policies - and you are doing this at the behest of the company itself, which is a conflict of interest. Please don't use Wikipedia to promote yourself. Tan | 39 17:24, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How does X work?[edit]

I am a webdeveloper at the California State Water Resources Control Board and was requested to post the existing content to this Wiki Page. How do I verify that I am authorized to do so?. --Robertwebsupport (talk) 16:42, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The edits you are making are not encyclopedic and are only promoting the CSWRCB. Please see our five pillars for applicable policies and guidelines. Tan | 39 16:44, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of California State Water Resources Control Board[edit]

A tag has been placed on California State Water Resources Control Board 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 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. 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 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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

December 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from California State Water Resources Control Board, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. WuhWuzDat 16:39, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
