Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Ecovision Consulting Group Edmonton[edit]

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Ecovision Consulting Group Edmonton, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.ecovision-consulting.com/index.php/about.

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.)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ecovision Consulting Group Edmonton[edit]

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 Ecovision Consulting Group Edmonton 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 an organization or company, 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.

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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Mr X 13:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Answer to your question[edit]

Don't do it. There's no point in releasing the copyright on something that would be deleted again anyway. Like virtually all company websites, yours promotes the company. OK, that's what it's there for, after all. Wikipedia, on the other hand, is an encyclopaedia, and we have no place for promotion. So it's a total rewrite or nothing. Read WP:CORP and be honest with yourself - does the company meet it? Most don't, so there's no disgrace if it doesn't. We don't judge articles on the profitability of a company, or how good their service is, or how green they are. We look for the notability (CORP), and the reliable independent sources that prove it. An example I quote is a company making millions, and whose products were used by millions of people daily. But no-one (apart from insiders and the Infernal Revenue) had heard of them. Why? Their name wasn't on their products. They made own brand goods for big chains. Nobody had reviewed them in a magazine, no-one had sued them for making their hair turn green overnight, nothing. Most companies do a good job without exciting anyone outside the PR Departments. (They can get excited and passionate about anything - even drain cleaning, insurance, and ant powder....) But most don't get articles. If you do try again, do it at User:Michellefrn/DRAFT (don't be a slave, just Click and Save...) after you've found the references. Head it with a sentence about it being under construction, and then ask for advise. Most admins and regulars are willing to give opinions (and it's FREE!!!!). If you don't like my opinion, I can point you to others on whom I dump things. OK? Over to you. Peridon (talk) 18:37, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
