User talk:JSMarcoms
Hi, I am not familiar with editting/updating Wikipedia so I apologize for any/all novice errors. I am in the Marketing and Corporate Communications department at SHUAA Capital, JSMarcoms is our corporate account. I understand the last few updates were too promotional so I have reverted to and maintained the less promotional version - however, the Management team desperately needed to be updated - how can I ensure the changes I have made remain? Our website, literature, press releases and local financial boards all acknowledge and reflect this Management team as well. I appreciate all your assistance and support.
- You should be aware the name is in violation of GROUPNAME. You should read about conflicts of interest and especially: Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest, and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations which will be of help. How can you "ensure the changes I have made remain"? You can't as nobody owns an article. There is no "preferred version". As long as the text of the article is properly sourced and cited (IOW verifiable), then there should be no problem with it. -- Alexf(talk) 15:10, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
How to verify copyright permission for article SHUAA Capital
[edit]Hello, JSMarcoms.
Thank you for your interest in donating material from the official website of this organization to Wikipedia. Since we do not currently have a method in place to verify the identity of account holders at account creation, we must verify such donations through external processes. The article has been blanked to allow time for that verification to proceed.
The simplest way to verify is to place a release on that external website putting the material into public domain or co-licensing it under CC-BY-SA and GFDL, which permit modification and reuse, even commercially, as long as authorship credit is given. This release is irrevocable and must continue to be displayed, or the material may need to be removed. A statement such as the following would be sufficient: "The contents of this website (or page, if you are specifically releasing one section) are available for modification and reuse under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GNU Free Documentation License, unversioned with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts." If you decide to take this route, please put a link to that release on Talk:SHUAA Capital so we can restore the contents.
Alternatively, you may choose to send an e-mail to the Wikimedia Foundation from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the CC-BY-SA and GFDL. There is a boilerplate release form at Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries which can be helpful. Please provide a clear link to the website in your e-mail and specify by name the articles on Wikipedia in which the material is being used. Once your e-mail is received and processed by a member of the Communications Committee, the article's contents will be restored if your release is legally sufficient. Please make a note that you've done this on Talk:SHUAA Capital to help guard against premature deletion of the page. You can compose a note or very simply paste the following on the talk page, brackets and all: {{OTRS pending}}
If you decide you don't wish to release the material into public domain or under the terms of CC-BY-SA and GFDL, you are welcome to rewrite the text from scratch at this temporary page. As long as the material is otherwise compliant with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, it will be used to replace the previous contents. Please leave a note at Talk:SHUAA Capital saying you have done so.
We apologize for the additional steps necessary, but as copyright is a matter of legal concern, we must ensure that we not only protect the rights of copyright holders, but also guard the Wikipedia project against inadvertent infringement.
Before verifying permission, please first review the material to ensure that is compliant with Wikipedia's requirements for verifiability and neutrality and does not contain "original research". (If you are closely related to the subject matter, you may also want to read our conflict of interest guidelines; if you are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, you should review Wikipedia:Starting an article or Wikipedia:Your first article.) Even if permission is verified, material may be modified or removed if it is otherwise inconsistent with our policies and guidelines.
The article will be revisited in about a week to see what additional steps have been taken or may be necessary. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let me know at my talk page. We also have a help desk which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers.
Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:07, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:SHUAA corporate logo.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:SHUAA corporate 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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:36, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Your addition to SHUAA Capital has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:20, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi! Since you have a declared conflict of interest at SHUAA Capital, you are strongly advised not to make edits directly to the article, but instead to make suggestions on the talk page. You can draw attention to such requests either by clicking where it says "Click here", right after "Individuals acting on behalf of this person or organization are strongly advised not to edit the article". Or you can use {{edit request}}. In any case, you may not add material copied from other sources to any article here unless that material has a suitable free licence (and it's very likely that it will not in any case be suitable to this encyclopaedia).
