[edit] Hello, I'm GorillaWarfare. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Tomorrow's Company seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, – GorillaWarfare (talk) 12:44, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
[edit] Hello, Clare500. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tomorrow's Company, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- 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.
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.

Copyright problems
[edit] Your addition to Tomorrow's Company has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. --Drm310 (talk) 14:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Please acknowledge and respond
[edit]Hi Clare,
I appreciate that you're trying to provide more information about Tomorrow's Company. However, Wikipedia policy requires that all information is verfiable, which is shown by backing it up with sources that are reliable and independent. All articles should be encyclopedic in tone, which means that they should never be written as though by the subject. An article about an organisation should not say "We are aiming to help people with Procrastination Syndrome."; it should always say "The Dithering Trust was established with the aim of helping people with Procrastination Syndrome." - and it should say, in a footnote, where that information came from. The language used should be original, and not violate copyright. We also avoid so-called peacock terms which make grandiose quality judgments about people and things. And as noted in the notice I posted in the previous section, you should avoid editing articles directly if you have a conflict of interest concerning the subject matter. If you wish to propose that material should be added to such an article, please make the request on the article's talk page.
I don't wish to appear unduly nagging, but you have posted material in breach of all the above policies several times today. Please respond here or at my talk page to let me know that you have seen and understood these messages. If I do not receive such a notification, I will be asking the admins to consider blocking you for a short time. AlexTiefling (talk) 14:49, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello. You've been editing this article as a piece of WP:SPAM for over six years now without providing a single shred of WP:RS. The citation tag is itself over four and a half years old, yet you've never addressed it. Your only purpose here, as a WP:SPA, has been to promote your company in violation of WP:COI. I doubt that this company is notable at all and am considering pushing for it to be deleted entirely from Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia, after all, not a free web hosting service for you to heap accolades upon a corporation and its executives. Frankly, I'm surprised that this abuse has been allowed to go on for as long as it has. Qworty (talk) 00:50, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

advice
[edit]As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article for the second time. Let me try togive you some personal assistance -- this is not a prebuilt message.
The first question is whether your group is notable enough for a WP article. It might well be., but this has to be shown by substantial references to it from independent published sources, such as major newspapers.
The second requirement is that none of the material be taken from your website or other previous publication. For the image, follow exactly the procedure for giving a license.
The third, is the the material be written in a neurtral reporting tone. Don't use adjectivesof prasise; don't say that your organization is important, whow that it is, by the references. Everything you say, except the basic facts, must be taken from third party sources, not your own website.
When you are ready, try again. To prevent your wasting your time & ours' with versions that will not be accepted, I've protected it against re-creation for a few days to give you time to find the references and do it right, but it should be posible by the middle of next week. If you need any help, ask me on my talk page DGG ( talk ) 20:41, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Tomorrow's Company Logo.png
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Tomorrow's Company Logo.png, which you've sourced to The permission field doesn't actually have any indication that permission was granted for upload, public domain or not. In addition, using "Head of Communication sent to me" isn't really a valid source.. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. GSK ● talk ● evidence 17:25, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
