Speedy deletion nomination of IFCPP International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection

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 IFCPP International Foundation for Cultural Property Protection 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 a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. - MrX 19:12, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. SwisterTwister talk 15:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages

Please note that disambiguation pages like Elati are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory
• Do not add articles to acronym or initials disambiguation pages unless the person or entity is widely known by that name (in which case it should be stated in the linked article).

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website – I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:51, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Centriciti! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 21:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for highlighting the concerns and policies re: copyright. It appears this was in response to edits I made around available health insurance providers & enrollment statistics in specific geographies. I was looking for this information for my own research purposes and found it available on Wikipedia in some articles, absent in many, and very much out of date / inaccurate for others (e.g. California). This seems like useful & important information for Wikipedia readers, and it's concerning much of it is inaccurate or dated. Most of the information I copied from various sources was simply the list of providers. I'm aware of the need to paraphrase, and thought I was doing that, although in hindsight I expect I could have made a better effort with paraphrasing. I cannot see my exact edits now because they have been reverted, but I'm pretty sure I even reordered a couple of the lists in alphabetical order. With regards to a list of providers, I'm not sure how to improve on paraphrasing. Centriciti (talk) 03:50, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

I found you had copied copyright content into the following articles :Chicago, Healthcare in Texas, Healthcare in New York (state), Florida. Copying lists if fine; the problem is you copied the leading paragraph as well as the commentary about the items in the list into the Florida article, for example. Source was this webpage. — Diannaa (talk) 04:07, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the prompt response and clarification. In hindsight I recognize I could have made a better effort changing the language of the surrounding content, although at I thought I had altered it sufficiently. Centriciti (talk) 04:13, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Request reason:

Centriciti is a handle to which I am personally attached, it's just me not a group or organization, and I was claiming it so nobody else would use it. My edits follow my personal interests and are not promotional. That said, I'm open to changing my username to something else if it avoids any confusion in the future, happy to dialogue about this.

Accept reason:

See below. — Diannaa (talk) 14:02, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

It's best if you choose a new username, because "Centriciti provides results-oriented strategic marketing expertise" according to their website. The username makes it appear that you are being paid to edit Wikipedia on behalf of clients. — Diannaa (talk) 03:59, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to TTEC has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of 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 material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa (talk) 18:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Diannaa, may we discuss? I edited this article noting it had a request to expand Products & Services section, as this section was otherwise absent any content. I summarized what I found in the company’s most recent SEC filing, and took care not to copy it verbatim. Did you review the citation reference to note how my edit is different from the source material? Not sure it’s relevant considering my content is different, but I’m obviously not the copyright holder and do not represent the company. if you have a better suggestion for expanding this section, I am all ears. Eccentriciti (talk) 19:27, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

The content I removed was a very close match for content found in this document. Here is a link to the CopyPatrol report. Click on the iThenticate link to view what was found by the detection service. It's a match. Regardless of the copyright issue, those descriptions don't really tell us what those services do; they're just meaningless adspeak at this point. If you could describe these services in your own words instead, that would be perfect. — Diannaa (talk) 19:34, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Diannaa for the prompt reply and for sharing the CopyPatrol report. I was curious how this flagged. This is frustrating because I deliberately retained only the top level services that I believed were comprehensible to most people and avoided their marketing jargon. What I kept were services such as customer relationship management, data, analytics, automation, customer experience, artificial intelligence, order fulfillment, fraud management, all of of which are industry standard terms (I’m a technology business guy) and many of which correspond to wikipedia articles (hence the addition of wikilinks). So these terms mean something to people in the tech industry (as well as mainstream society) and I doubt very much I could offer better words. Again I specifically did not include their language listed in the 10K that I considered more vague or proprietary to their marketing / brand lingo. I just took a look at their site and discovered they have a second site for TTEC Digital, so I’ll take another crack at this trying to rationalize services sourced across all three sites / documents.
