Your submission at Articles for creation: EU Datathon (February 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted because it included copyrighted content, which is not permitted on Wikipedia.

This submission appears to be taken from https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eudatathon/about. Wikipedia cannot accept material copied from elsewhere, unless it explicitly and verifiably has been released to the world under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license or into the public domain and is written in an acceptable tone—this includes material that you own the copyright to. You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Draft:EU Datathon may be deleted at any time unless the copied text is removed. Copyrighted work cannot be allowed to remain on Wikipedia.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page. or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Simonsteuer93! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 21:29, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to Publications Office of the European Union you included material from a webpage that is available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. It's also required under the terms of the license. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 13:15, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information. Your work on the Data.europa.eu page is not correct anymore. The old portal European Data Portal is depreciated. The new portal is data.europa.eu. So there has to be an update. Simonsteuer93 (talk) 15:19, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I only have one account. Please do check the IP address of mine. I also was working on a page which was clearly outdated. You just have to google "European Data Portal" to find the answer Simonsteuer93 (talk) 11:46, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It's been a couple of weeks, and you haven't responded to my comments below, so I'm closing this unblock request. If you still want to edit here, raise a new request, and respond to my comments below. Best Girth Summit _(blether) 16:57, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The nature of the changes you were making to that article were outrageously promotional - you were writing in the first person about 'our mission' and so on. I assume that you are employed by the institution that maintains the portal? You need to appreciate that there is a significant difference between how a neutral encyclopedia article is written about a subject, and the sort of prose one would expect to find on that subject's own website. I might be prepared to believe that this is your only account, but I would not be willing to consider accepting your unblock request you until you give us some assurances that you have read WP:PAID, WP:COI, you indicate that you are willing to make the necessary disclosure, and you show that you understand what you may and may not do when editing about subjects you have such a connection with.
