Hello, I'm Doniago. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Cedar Rapids, Iowa have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Doniago. This is not advertising nor promotion, it's was cited from local non for profit organisation that describes these Cedar Rapids, Iowa neighbourhoods in further detail, adding to the existing content.

Find further information online like the likes of the Gazette about these areas backing up these additions.

Thanks

I support Doniago's deletion of the material. As well as being promotional, it was a direct copy from the cited web site; such copying is not allowed. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:11, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of SproutX

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SproutX requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.farmers.org.au/content/nff/en/news-updates/nff-news/sproutx-launch-160916.html. 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 or other printed material 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 "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.
