Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:05, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I ran a Google check of a sample of the text and it came back word-for-word from another site. As I pointed out above, copyrighted text and other materials are totally incompatible with the free documentation licensing of this site. Posting copyrighted text and photos puts this site in serious legal jeopardy. PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, this is the site: [1]. PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:31, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not that I don't believe you, but your claim doesn't matter. In order for you to post the material, you must first release it in writing to the Wikimedia Foundation. This renders your original copyright null and void and allows anyone to use it for any purpose. Second, there is a clear-cut conflict of interest issue. I'm well aware of policy and the article was totally unsalvageble from a copyright viewpoint. If you wish to write about the school, please use the school's site as a source of information but not of words. PMDrive1061 (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles. Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pnema. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you are reminded not to attack other editors, as you did on User talk:PMDrive1061. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You are welcome to rephrase your comment as a civil criticism of the article. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
