Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Diversity training. 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

The copyrighted materials are my own. Just stating that it is printed with permission in the bocy of the information, which is consistent with publishing. Billy Vaughn

You need to have a GDFL license on your stuff for it to be reproduced here. Do you? And there are a number of issues with the other text you added as well, mainly its non-encyclopedic tone. Gscshoyru 18:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S -- see WP:CITE for how to properly cite sources. Gscshoyru 18:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Diversity training, you will be blocked from editing. That site does not look like a credible reference, also, please see WP:3RR. Neither of us can change the article for a while, I suggest we discuss this. Gscshoyru 18:47, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I would like to discuss this. Our work is state-of-the-art and we are being asked to provide a reference. In fact, links as a reference are encouraged I noticed. So, I am stuck. If I give you a reference that is from a credible source, but it is to my own site, then it looks like I am trying to drive traffic there. If I don't, then it does not look like a credible contribution. Yes, we do have a GDFL license, which I realize now that I should have placed in my materials. My bad! I will try again to make a contribution in the future and request your support to make certain that we can contribute to this great resource for helping people understand how to relate to other better. Thanks Gscshoyru for your comments and not just throwing me off due to my getting familiar with Wikipedia.

"Our work"? Um... you may want to see WP:COI. Gscshoyru 23:18, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Diversity training university international

A tag has been placed on Diversity training university international requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. DMacks 21:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Cross cultural training

Hello. You might want to merge your new article's content into Intercultural learning. Regards, De728631 (talk) 21:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Cross-cultural training is a more popular keyword. Intercultural learning is one goal of the broader cross-cultural training terminology. So, for search purposes, it should be the other way around because intercultural learning is not a popular keyword. Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with the terminology there, but in that case you should at least link those two articles via a comment or something. Your above explanation might just do that job. De728631 (talk) 21:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Billy E. Vaughn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://dtui.com/about-dtui-com/billy-e-vaughn-biography/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
