Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Founder-CEO, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Startup company have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. 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 here.
- 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) 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.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- 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 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.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- 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 in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
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) 13:06, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Hello Founder-CEO, thank you for your efforts to improve this article, such contributions from topic experts are greatly appreciated. However there have been some basic problems with your recent additions to this article and I have reverted some parts of it. One problem may be the difference between an academic paper and an encyclopedic Wikipedia article. The latter should focus on a succinct description of dry verifiable facts without subjective assessments or personal analysis. Or in other words: Wikipedia articles should not teach their content, but merely present an overview of encyclopedic facts. Another important issue is WP:NOTGUIDE - simply put the article should provide a basic definition about what an SME is, not extensive guidance about how it should be run - most of the added "strategies" section did not provide specific facts but - often vague - advice. Lastly, content should never be written in first-person language or directly address the reader.
Sorry for the lengthy advice, but as I removed some larger parts of your recent contributions I wanted to explain the reasoning as detailed as possible to help with future edits. You'll still find the removed content in the article history if you'd like to re-use its references or some details. However, the section in its current form would need a different approach to present its content - ideally not as a list but in prose - and a complete rewrite. Please feel free to ping me if some of these aspects need clarification. I hope you'll continue to contribute and would be glad to help with any further questions. Best regards.

[edit]Not sure what is going on here but you appear to be inserting works by a single author over multipe articles and none of them really add anything to what is already there and/or overclaim authority of said article. Citation spam is frowned on, especially if you are the author or in some way related to them -----Snowded TALK 09:32, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
