Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

May 2014

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Majid Al Futtaim Group. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Diff: [1] Also, please do not copy and paste large blocks of content from other websites, as such content is presumed to be copyrighted, and adding copyrighted content to Wikipedia without appropriate permission, is not permissible.

I will update based on your feedback, thank you. but copy was not cut and paste but refined. Equally none of the content that I am aware was soapbox / advertising or promotional. I tried to ensure it was just factual content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tobias mills (talk • contribs)

Hi, there are two issues, so I will address them individually: 1) Content needs to be written in our own words, not "refined". Even close paraphrasing could be a copyright violation. The content submitted, for example under the header Majid Al Futtaim Retail, was lifted verbatim from the company's website, and only "refined" with the addition of one sentence. It's not presented as a quotation, it is presented as original content, and it's the sort of thing that would probably get you kicked out of university if you wrote a report like that. :) 2) If we are attempting to mirror the company's website by presenting information about all their ventures, then we are inherently promoting the subject, because the purpose of a company's website is to promote itself, even if some of the language doesn't appear promotional. Some language, like how the company aims to become the "credit card solutions provider of choice" in the UAE is inherently promotional. Also, the purpose of the article is to deliver an overview on the subject, not report on every aspect of the company's ventures. Hope that helps.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Galleria, Al Maryah Island

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 The Galleria, Al Maryah Island requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Replaceable fair use File:Dubai Design District.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dubai Design District.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 06:01, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
