You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Zeitgeist, the Movie. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Someguy1221 (talk) 19:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, if there are no reliable sources that present a particular point of view, then that point of view is essentially forbidden on Wikipedia. The typical cure for this in an article like Zeitgeist is to link to relevant articles in the body of the text. Anyone who is curious about a point can follow those links to the articles describing mainstream treatment of the topic. However, for theories promoted only by amateurs, we relax the requirements of reliability from peer/editorially reviewed literature, and allow self-publications (including blogs) of experts in the field (see here). The status of "expert" is typically demonstrated by having published papers or reviews (especially well-received ones) in peer-reviewed journals on the topic you are citing him for. But if no respected economist has even blogged about this movie, then there are no sources that can be used for this information. Someguy1221 (talk) 20:55, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of CI Financial

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 CI Financial, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.cifinancial.com/ci_profile.jsp. (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.

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. reddogsix (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
