Copying material

Even if we are employed at this company, we still cannot just copy material from their website. The company's website is copyrighted, both implicitly and explicitly. Wikipedia is only allowed to carry copyrighted information that has been released under a free use license. The company can either post a message on their website to that effect, or can grant the Wikimedia Foundation, and anyone else who wishes to use the text in the future, a license. See WP:PERMISSION for more details.

However, even if that license is granted, Wikipedia is not a webhost for the company, and there's no reason why the article here should simply be a copy of the information already available at their website. All Wikipedia articles must follow WP:NPOV, which says that articles should reflect all significant points of view. Obviously a copy of the corporate material can't do that. So it'd be better to use the corporate site as a source to cite for facts, but not as a source of verbatim text.

Finally, if employees are editing this article they should identify themselves and edit in compliance with WP:COI. Will Beback talk 21:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I tagged the article due to at least the about page matching close paraphrasing [1]. Widefox; talk 18:15, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there's at least three WP:SPA accounts and a disclosed COI sysop account (I'm guessing those edits are within COI guidelines) that have edited the article. I've tagged COI. Widefox; talk 18:29, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm the COI sysop. My only edits have been to remove some puffery, fix a citation, and add {{advert}}. I'm absolutely not neutral enough to make substantive edits (at least not additions -- bad content is pretty easy to spot and remove), but I enjoy the minor fixes that don't affect the content's POV anyway. You'll probably see me pop in from time to time to make minor tweaks such as updating the recently-changed logo, basically stuff that's clerical and impossible to be POV about. --Chris (talk) 17:25, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
