Welcome!

Hello, Acmecar, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Grocery trading, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.nationalfoodexchange.com/aboutus.asp.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

A tag has been placed on Grocery trading 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. 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 that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - MrX 22:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view.
Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 22:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

You may be an expert in the field, but your submission is copied from http://www.nationalfoodexchange.com/aboutus.asp. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyright material, see Wikipedia:Copy-paste. Copyright is a serious issue for Wikipedia, and people who continue to post copyright violations despite warning may be blocked from editing.

Assertion of authorship, or of permission to use text, is not enough; we have to be certain that the person giving a release has the authority to do so, and that the actual copyright holder understands and agrees to Wikipedia's license terms, which allow any reader to copy, modify and re-use material for any purpose including commercial. For those reasons, a formal copyright release, as described above, is required.

In any case, simply copying material from another website will not provide the evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" which is necessary to establish the Wikipedia:Notability required for a Wikipedia article. Please read Wikipedia:Your first article for advice on how to write an acceptable article. JohnCD (talk) 23:07, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply to your email[edit]

No, your submission was not deleted due to censorship by sinister "corporate forces". In fact, those sinister forces would like to place heavy restrictions on the flow of information on the internet, for instance by the SOPA act, in protest against which Wikipedia blacked itself out for a day last year.

The argument the corporate forces use in favour of restrictions is that the internet is a mess of piracy and copyright violations. For that and other reasons, Wikipedia works extremely hard to detect and delete copyright material. So when your submission was identified as coming from a page labelled "© National Food Exchange 2003" it was at once deleted.

Not, I repeat, because of corporate censorship, but because it is vital that we do not violate copyright and so give the corporate censors an excuse to strangle us or close us down. JohnCD (talk) 22:56, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
