A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Sylvia Matovu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.tasouganda.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=303:taso-milestones&catid=336:blog&Itemid=203. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — 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 or image 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. j⚛e deckertalk 18:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

SPA / COI
[edit]Hi Sylvia all your edits to date have been about The AIDS Support Organization. This makes your account what we call a "single purpose account" (please see WP:SPA) I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some questions for you below.
Hello, Sylvia Matovu. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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 or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
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.
Question
[edit]Wikipedia is a scholarly project, and like all scholarly endeavors, disclosure of conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it.
Would you please let me know if you have any relationship with The AIDS Support Organization? After you do that, we can talk more about editing Wikipedia. You can reply here - I am "watching" this page. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 14:05, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Dear Jytdog, I do appreciate your support and yes I do have a relationship with The AIDS Support Organisation. So far my edits have only been about it because I am not yet familiar with Wikipedia itself (It does take time and experience to build familiarity). I thought working on something I am more familiar with while I build my confidence will be safer. I tried to make the article as objective as I could, clearly not too well by Wikipedia standards. Since I have never written for an encyclopedia and do not have that much time with internet access, I am slowly learning how to improve on my submissions. I would greatly appreciate any further support. SylviaSylvia Matovu (talk) 07:09, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for replying! OK, COI is managed in Wikipedia two ways. First by disclosure, which you have started to do, and then by a form of peer review. A bit more about disclosure first. It would be good for you to add a brief statement to your User page )here: User:Sylvia Matovu) stating your relationship with the organization. You don't have to personally identify yourself but it would be good if you wrote something like "I work for The AIDS Support Organization" or something simple like that, if that is not accurate. With regard to the "peer review" piece of things. While editors with a COI can and do create articles, we ask such editors not to directly edit the article after it is created. Instead, we ask them to suggest changes on the article Talk page, for other editors to review and if the content is OK, for the other editors to add it to the article. This process protects the integrity of Wikipedia. I have placed a section at the bottom of the beige box, that is on the Talk page of the article. There is a big exclamation mark by it, and it says "Individuals that have a conflict of interest with the subject of this article are strongly advised not to edit the article directly. Click here to request corrections or suggest content". If you click where it says "click here", the Wikipedia software sets up an "edit request" for you - you can type the changes you want in there, save it, and it will appear on the Talk page, with a tag that lets other editors know something needs attention. Will you do that going forward? thanks. Jytdog (talk) 12:24, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Sure, many thanks. Let me work on that. Thanks again.
