Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Services Généraux de Gestion (Deleted as Copyvio)[edit]
Hi Excirial,
recently you have overviewed a text submission on behalf of SGG SA (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Services_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9raux_de_Gestion&action=edit&redlink=1). See text below.
Unfortunately you have considered it as not appropriated for wikipedia as it contains copyrights.
May you please just tell me / or give me a concreat example of this on my submission please? I'd like to create a page which describs my companies activities.
Thanks a lot for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sgg-chm (talk • contribs) 07:04, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- Hello Sgg-chm,
- The article you wrote was a direct copy of the following link: http://www.sgg.lu/fund-services. Under US law copyright is automatically granted on all written texts, and is therefor always present unless the writer specifically waives these rights by releasing the text under a different license. Since Wikipedia is intended to be a free and open encyclopedia, it cannot accept any texts that aren't released licensed under GDFL or CC-BY-SA (or more lenient license).
- In short you can write an article based on external pages and you can paraphrase them, but you cannot directly copy outside content. In this case i would point out that this is an especialyl bad idea, since the article itself was clear cut advertising as well, which is not tolerable in any form. What i would suggest is checking if the article can pass WP:CORP, WP:V and WP:RS, and if it can rewriting the article in a (lot) less spammy tone. You might want to look at good quality article's such as Pearson's Candy Company and Pike Place Fish Market for examples on good quality article's describing companies.
