Dear, David, None of Text fall under any copyright violation, as it has taken me 10 minutes to compose the few lines. How it can be copyright violation when i wrote it.. Beyond my imagination. Maybe my left brain taken it from my right side.

Anyone can create an account on Wikipedia claiming to be anyone. This is why we insist on either having a suitable license published on the original web site or receiving an email from the copyright owner releasing the text under a suitable license. In this case, I only removed text from three sections, "Investments," "Mission," and "Programs." You can see the previous version, with the text, here. The first sentence of the Investments section and the entirety of the Mission section are copied verbatim or nearly verbatim from [1]. I have restored the sentences that are not copyright violations and removed the "copyright problems" template. Because some material was removed completely, some sections may be awkward to read. Consider re-writing the removed material but using your own words. It will be the fastest way to get the article back to reasonable shape. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:26, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Please change your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Groupclr", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

The above is "canned text" so some or all of it may not apply. The reason your username needs to change is that it implies that it is a shared account. Shared accounts are not allowed in Wikipedia (see:Wikipedia:Username policy). Every editor must edit under a unique account. If more than one person has edited under this account, simply stop using this account and have each individual person create a new account. If only one person has edited under the account, please either abandon this account and create a new one, or ask for a username change. In any case, the account "belongs" to the individual, not to any company or organization.

Also, I have noticed that you have written about two subjects which you have close ties with. Editing on topics which you have a close association with is generally discouraged. It is very difficult for most people to edit with a "neutral point of view" about topics they are closely associated with. Also, "paid editing" is a very controversial area in Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Paid editing for more on this topic. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:27, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear David, As an Italian "Group" is part of my last name. I hope you do not have any racest views against the whole Italian community.

I was unaware of this. Of course you do not need to change your username if it is based on your real name. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 22:05, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Inspiring Forward

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 Inspiring Forward, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — 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 but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. AllyD (talk) 21:18, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Dear User:AllyD, It is extremely sad that you have taken such action against the good hearted people who put there lives on line to assist others. I urge you to volunteer your time in Africa and see Genocide happening around you and while the Inspiring Forward Volunteers put there own lives in danger to save human kind.

Wikilinks to user pages

[[AllyD]] creates a link to an article or in this case, a link to a non-existent article. [[User:AllyD]] creates a link to the "user page" for the user named AllyD. I assumed that is what you meant to link to in the section above. I took the liberty of making the change for you. Please feel free to undo the change if you want to. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:32, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

SPI

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Chaklalajob. Thank you. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:51, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Tokyogirl79 what the heck does this mean, Who the heck is Chakalajob. If you have personal issues with someone please do not bring it to my page. Seriously !!! Please keep your personal issues and attacks with each other !!

• Just a bit of advice: if you are accused of being a sockpuppet, the worst thing you can do is get incredibly defensive and insult someone. The most recommended thing is to politely say on the SPI that you are not the sock and leave it at that. Posting several messages accusing me of attacking out of malice doesn't really reflect well on you. Please don't take this the wrong way, but when someone replies in an incredibly defensive and somewhat hostile manner, it only increases suspicion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:30, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

After a while it just gets too much but i do thank you for your advice.

Speedy deletion nomination of Institutional Investment Firm

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Institutional Investment Firm requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here.  GILO   A&E⇑ 06:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy, because your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Purely as a matter of interest, you must have a very unusual name. In the fifty years since I first learnt Italian, I have no memory of ever having come across the combination "ou" in any Italian word or name. Out of curiosity, I have just checked 35 random articles on Italian Wikipedia. None of them contains "ou" except in English, French, or Portuguese words or names that are referred to in the articles.
