This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wing FTP Server, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.wftpserver.com/wftpserver.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 08:45, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Wing FTP Server[edit]
A tag has been placed on Wing FTP Server requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. 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.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 08:51, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
February 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.
There are two issues with this:
- You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
- Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.
Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the policy to not edit in a conflict of interest. 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. NJA (t/c) 09:44, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Wing ftp server[edit]
A tag has been placed on Wing ftp server requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

The article Wing FTP Server has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 12:58, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

March 2010[edit]
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}below this message box. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

You still dont get it[edit]
I received the following email from an address at wftpserver.com (I'm not listing the full address here to avoid any privacy issues). My response follows:
As you know, it was first time we wrote wikipedia page here, perhaps wiki's rules are very complex and strict, and we were a little misunderstanding for the rules, and wrote some bad articles, then we were totally blocked by you.
But it was not our real purpose, our real purpose is letting everybody know a good software, like other FTP server softwares.
If you will unblock us, we can re-write the wiki page for this software, without any exaggerations or unreal things, we promise.
And we also plan to contribute some articles related with FTP Server or File Server. Thanks!
First off, I'm not an admin so I didn't block you. Normally this detail can be overlooked because many first time editors can be so upset by a notice on their talk page that an article they created has been nominated for deletion or that a block request has been place that they do not read the entire message and miss the username of the admin actually performing the delete or block. The top of my talk page reminds new users of this as well but it's often overlooked in the editors haste to defend. In short, I didn't block you, I can't, I'm not an admin and I can't unblock you either.
You do have the right to request that your account be unblocked but I'd suggest you not waste your time making such a request right now. Based on your comments above, you still dont get it and you've apparently not even read the notice your page about being blocked. It says that your account was blocked because it was intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Above you say that your real purpose is letting everybody know a good software, like other FTP server softwares. There are many places you can tell people how great your software is Wikipedia is not one of them.
Normally editors and admins are happy to give a new editor a 2nd chance, but over a period of a few weeks, you aggressively promoted your software not just with this account but also with User:Hedong1982, User:Vieviet, and User:Wftpserver2010 violating a number of rules there as well. This created a lot of work for a lot of people, all of whom are volunteers. Before anyone even considers allowing you to edit Wikipedia again, there must be some indication that you understand why your were blocked, have read the related guidelines and there needs to be some good indication that you wont repeat this behavior. The above email indicates that your still dont understand that Wikipedia is not here for promotional purposes.
Based on the use of multiple accounts and repeatedly recreating the same article under several different names, along with the email above, it's pretty clear that your only goal is promotion of this software. You close connection to the product means you shouldn't be editing articles about it in the first place.
In short, if you request that your account(s) be unblocked, I and I suspect a lot of other editors and administrators will lobby the administrator handling it to deny the request.
Please dont attempt to avoid this block by creating more user accounts, it will be detected and those will be blocked as well. Your best course of action is to promote your software elsewhere. If it receives enough coverage in the media, another Wikipedia editor will take notice and work on an objective article about your software. That's the way it is supposed to happen.--RadioFan (talk) 12:29, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
